Heinrich Himmler tried to escape
using a false name.
1:05:06
After he was found out,

1:05:09
Martin Bormann and Ludwig
Stumpfegger committed suicide...
1:05:14

Traudl Junge was classified
as a 'young follower'.
1:05:28

All the horror I heard about during
the Nuremberg trial...
1:05:37
...the 6 million Jews, dissidents
or people of another race...
1:05:44
...who died, shocked me deeply.
1:05:50
But I hadn't made the connection
with my own past yet.
1:05:56
I reassured myself by thinking
I wasn't personally guilty of it.
1:06:01
And that I hadn't known
about the sheer size of it.
1:06:06
But one day, I walked
past a commemorative plaque...
1:06:13
...for Sophie Scholl,
here in the Franz-Joseph-Strasse.
1:06:17
I saw that she was my age...
1:06:20
...and that she was executed in
the year I joined Hitler.
1:06:26
And only then did I realise...
1:06:32
that youth is no excuse.
1:06:35
And that it might have been
possible to find out the truth.
