Is it true that Roosevelt,
before he died. . .
1:15:16
. . .promised you
a command in the Pacific?
1:15:18
Yes. But now that he's gone, I don't
think there's much chance of that.
1:15:23
Doug MacArthur
doesn't want me up there.
1:15:26
We're told of "wonder weapons"
the Germans were working on:
1:15:29
Long-range rockets,
push-button bombing. . .
1:15:31
. . .weapons that don't need soldiers.
1:15:34
"Wonder weapon"?
1:15:36
My God, I don't see
the wonder in them.
1:15:39
Killing without heroics. Nothing
is glorified, nothing is reaffirmed.
1:15:44
No heroes, no cowards, no troops.
1:15:47
No generals.
1:15:50
Only those that are left alive
and those that are left. . .
1:15:53
. . .dead.
1:15:55
I'm glad I won't live to see it.
1:15:57
REPORTER: It's said you're still
using former Nazis in key positions.
1:16:01
Despite the denazification policy.
1:16:03
Well, if I'm supplied
with trained personnel. . .
1:16:06
. . .I'll get rid of the Nazis.
1:16:08
Until then, I'll use them to keep
the railroads and telephones working.
1:16:12
After all, didn't most
ordinary Nazis join the Party. . .
1:16:15
. . .in about the same way Americans
become Republicans or Democrats?
1:16:20
Yes, that's about it.
1:16:24
You agree that national policy be made
by civilians, not by the military?
1:16:29
Of course. But the politicians
never let us finish.
1:16:33
They always stop short and leave us
with another war.
1:16:36
You thinking about our Russian allies?
1:16:43
Did you say if you found your army
between the Germans and the Russians. . .
1:16:47
. . .you'd attack in both directions?
1:16:49
No, I never said that.
1:16:52
I never said any such thing.
1:16:55
But I wish I had.
