1:59:04
indecent...
1:59:07
and terribly unfair of the prosecution...
1:59:11
to show such films in this case...
1:59:15
in this court...
1:59:17
at this time...
1:59:18
against these defendants!
1:59:21
And I cannot protest too strongly...
1:59:25
against such tactics.
1:59:33
What is the prosecution trying to prove?
1:59:37
Is it trying to prove
that the German people as a whole...
1:59:40
were responsible for these events?
1:59:43
Or that they were even aware of them?
1:59:45
Because if he is...
1:59:49
he's not stating facts...
1:59:53
and he knows he's not.
1:59:58
The secrecy of the operations,
the geographical location of the camps...
2:00:03
the breakdown of communications
in the last days of the war...
2:00:06
when the exterminations
rose into the millions...
2:00:09
show only too clearly
that he is not telling the truth!
2:00:14
The truth is...
2:00:16
that these brutalities were brought about
by the few extremists.
2:00:20
The criminals.
2:00:24
Very few Germans knew what was going on.
2:00:27
Very few.
2:00:30
None of us knew what was happening...
2:00:34
in the places shown in these films.
2:00:37
None of us.
2:00:45
But the most ironic part of it is...
2:00:50
that the prosecution showed these films
against these defendants...
2:00:54
men who stayed in power
for one reason only...
2:00:59
to prevent worse things from happening.
