Hitlers Henchmen Vol. 2

Biography, War Documentary hosted by David Ritchie, published by SBS in 1998 - English narration



Information
------------------------------

Created, ordered and led by Hitler, the state apparatus of Nazi Germany rigorously controlled all aspects of life in the Third Reich from cradle to grave. To maintain his iron grip on the German people through the ministries of his dictatorial government, Hitler surrounded himself with a small clique of fanatical, devoted acolytes. Men such as Heinrich Himmler, the much-feared chief of the Waffen-SS and organiser of the Holocaust, and Hermann Goering, the bombastic head of the Luftwaffe, wielded enormous power and held the fate of millions in their corrupt hands.
This series tells the inside story of the Third Reich, looking at the personalities, roles and rivalries of Hitler's closest associates; Joachim von Ribbentrop, the Reich's chief diplomat; Baldur von Schirach, the fanatic who moulded the thoughts of the youth of Germany; and Martin Bormann, Hitler's enigmatic advisor. The programs not only examine the actions of these infamous men, but probes their psychological makeup, determining how they earned Hitler's trust, became blindly loyal to the cause, committed deadly atrocities and remained unrepentant to the end.
Made in association with Germany's leading TV producer, HITLER'S HENCHMEN features never-before seen footage from both government and private sources, rare photographs, documents and eyewitness testimony that proves conclusively that these men were not just following orders, but willing accomplices in Hitler's crimes. Among those interviewed are members of Hitler's staff, retired German army officers, and world- renowned historians. It's the definitive dossier of some of the most reviled men in history.
"Hitler's Henchmen Volume 2" is a six-part sequel to "Hitler's Henchmen Volume 1", portraying the men who aided Adolf Hitler in his rise to power and serviced the infernal machinery of the Third Reich. They were the men who consolidated Hitler's reign and turned his plans into action. Hitler's henchmen wove the complicities and plots without which Hitler could have never perpetrated the crime of the century. They helped to sway the judges and the bureaucrats, the armed forces and the police, the scientists and the industrialists, the students and their teachers to the regime's ways of thinking.
What kind of men were they? What inspired them to serve a corrupt administration with such enthusiasm and devotion? How did their careers unfold and their fates end? This fascinating original German ZDF series answers all these and other burning questions by examining six of Hitler's most infamous cohorts. With the use of newly discovered film clips and sound recordings from international archives, the portraits of these aides-de-camp provide viewers with a revealing psychogram of 'Hitler's most willing executors', making it a must-have for anyone interested in military history.

2)  Mengele: The Doctor of Death
He greeted the death trains arriving at Auschwitz on the look out for 'good subjects' for his unspeakable 'medical experiments'. Thousands would die truly terrible deaths as human guinea pigs for the doctor Anne Frank called the 'Angel of Extermination'.
Josef Mengele enjoyed inspecting the shattered Holocaust victims in his search for suitable material for the pseudo-scientific experiments he was engaged in. For Mengele, these victims of Nazi racial hatred were nothing more than human guinea pigs. Twins had a particularly bad time. They were evaluated and subjected to experiments, and then they were dissected and recorded. The way they suffered and died is a disgrace to humanity. The only thing the concentration camp doctor was thinking behind the unscrupulous foreground of a perverted ruler race domineering and reproductive policy was his own career. After the war, Mengele managed to hide in South America until his death in 1979. The autopsy of his remains puts an end to a number of strange speculations about where he is and how long he managed to survive.
The film goes through carefully the crimes Mengele committed, and what purpose was behind it. Survivors of his horrific experiments give their eyewitness accounts. In addition, his secret "second life" after the war is revealed.
