Speaker A
My hypocrisy? You think American bullets and bombs don't kill people? You vaporized 150,000 Japanese at the touch of a button, and you presume to stand [music] in judgment on me for war crimes.
Speaker A
We had every right to defend ourselves. How do you defend yourself on someone else's oil?
Speaker A
There is a difference between us bombing war factories and civilians dying as collateral damage and you building 1,200 human slaughterhouses designed to exterminate an entire race, and you know it.
Speaker A
What do you think war is? Not what I saw today. What do you think the Russians do to German prisoners of war?
Speaker A
You have your freedom and I am a prisoner because you won and we lost.
Speaker A
Not because you are morally superior. This trial will be a farce in 15 years.
Speaker A
Great conquerors are not thought of as murderers. Genghis Khan, Alexander the Great. Alexander the Great.
Speaker A
You are a fat man in a cell and you knew I have made a mistake. You are not destined for more. You will have an unhappy life, I think. It will all be overshadowed by this, by the time you
Speaker A
spent with me. You will write your volumes trying to relive it. It's the one moment in your life when you actually stood for greatness.
Speaker A
You think you're a great man? You think that's your legacy? At least I will have one. You will leave no mark on this world. I am the book.
Speaker A
You are merely a footnote. They are going to kill you. They are going to hang you by the neck till you piss yourself and die. Your wife will be a widow. Your daughter will be an orphan and you will have done that to yourself.
Speaker A
Look at that. Your private conversations with Hermann Göring made the front page. Sir, you're finished. I signed your transfer order this morning. You're to be sent back to the States where you'll be discharged. You have embarrassed me and this office for the last time.
Speaker A
Sorry, Colonel. You deserve better. Yes, I did. [music] And just so you know, we are releasing Göring's wife and daughter. You were right. We are better than that. [music] Thank you, sir.
Speaker A
Your train's at 5:00. Don't take this the wrong way, but I never want to see you again.
Speaker A
You helped them, didn't you? I did. I'm leaving. Come to say goodbye. What do we do now, Doctor? Do we shake hands?
Speaker A
I know we were friends, Douglas, for a while. Bye, Hermann. Years from now, I wonder what you will say about us. Will you even acknowledge we were human?
Speaker A
The judgment of the International Military Tribunal will now be read. Each defendant will be addressed in turn.
Speaker A
Hermann Göring, the evidence shows that after Hitler, you were the most prominent man in the Nazi regime. Your guilt is unique in its enormity. Your record discloses no excuses. The International Military Tribunal sentences you to death by hanging.
Speaker A
Rudolf Hess, you are indicted. The executions are scheduled for midnight tonight. In order to maintain discipline, the prisoners will not be informed until 11:45 p.m. when they will be awakened in their cells and offered [music] last rites. At 8:00 p.m., eight
