00:30The Nazis' Hunters
00:40The Nazis' Hunters
00:42Gehring, the invited star
00:46Commander-in-Chief of the Luftwaffe, the German Air Force
00:53Successor of Hitler
01:00Hermann Gehring was an immeasurable drug addict
01:05who was by Hitler's side for more than 20 years
01:09All the regime's decisions were made by him
01:14He was the man who secretly organized the Führer's armed forces
01:18Something that allowed to start a war against pacific nations
01:24Gehring's Luftwaffe found the way to the conquest of Europe
01:32Gehring was also the first to suggest the so-called final solution
01:36The extermination of the Jews
01:41That made him an accomplice of the crimes of the Third Reich
01:47At the end of the war, Gehring was the only Nazi leader
01:51who remained alive
01:55The Allies were eager to put him on the bench
01:59They needed someone to personify all the evils of the regime
02:08At the Nuremberg trial, the trial of the century, he became the invited star
02:14All the men who were ever available were presented to the people
02:20His guilt was considered exceptional in its enormity
02:25They are nothing more than parasites
02:28His enigmatic and controversial ending would take everyone by surprise
02:40Germany, 1945
02:43The Nazis begin to lose the war
02:49The Allies do not cease to make way in the Third Reich
02:53The end is inevitable
02:56Nothing has changed in occupied Germany
02:59The battle, the energetic advance of the armies
03:03The civilians leaving their shelters, the Allied proclamations
03:08And stunned and subdued citizens
03:11Isolated from the outside world, even from their neighbors, who receive orders and obey
03:19As the Allies approach, the Nazi leaders opt for suicide
03:27Adolf Hitler, Führer since 1933, commits suicide on April 30, 1945
03:36A few hours later, Joseph Goebbels, the sinister minister of Hitler's propaganda
03:42Kills his family and then commits suicide
03:46Heinrich Himmler, leader of the SS, ingested a pill of cyanide after being arrested by the British
03:54There was only one person left
03:57Hermann Goering, right hand of Hitler and leader of the German air force
04:07The Allies desperately tried to hunt him
04:12But they did not know that the former Marshal of the Reich also wanted to establish contact with them
04:23Despite being one of the most sought-after men by the Allies
04:27Goering thought he would get a place in the post-war regime
04:34That act of boldness was typical of Goering
04:38He was no longer that bureaucrat of another time
04:44Hermann Goering was an intelligent and impulsive man
04:47Quite the opposite of other former Nazi leaders
04:51Hermann Goering was truly unique
05:00He had been decorated by his skill as a pilot in the First World War
05:05In which he shot down 22 enemy planes
05:14He was the last commander of the legendary Red Baron squadron
05:27But at the end of the war, with Germany plunged into poverty and despair
05:32Goering suffered as much as millions of other compatriots
05:43He, who had been a hero, was forced to earn a living as an aerobatic acrobat
05:53But something happened that changed his life forever
05:56He met Adolf Hitler
06:03And he positioned himself next to him in the party that had just been born
06:12In 1923 Hitler appointed Goering leader of the SS
06:17Assault battalions of the party formed by uniformed thugs
06:24Goering changed the brown shirts for a more traditional military suit
06:33Germany was plunged into political chaos
06:37The streets used to be a scene of numerous confrontations
06:42Goering's battalions maintained a constant fight against the Nazi arch enemies
06:48The communists
06:54In November 1923, Goering demonstrated his loyalty to Hitler going one step further
07:01The Nazi party tried to give a coup d'etat
07:07Goering was seriously injured and had to administer morphine
07:12That would lead to an addiction that he would never give up
07:18The so-called Putsch of Munich was a failure and Goering had to flee from Germany
07:31When he returned in the late 1920s, he did it again next to Adolf Hitler
07:38Together they planned to turn Nazism into a political mass movement
07:45Hitler's hatred was still centered on the communists
08:01I have therefore decided never to step in front of this people and make cheap promises
08:19Their plan was a success
08:21The party began to gain followers and became a true mass movement
08:31Hitler's party was a true mass movement
08:37Hitler's party was a true mass movement
08:43Hitler's party was a true mass movement
08:50Go to us, Germany is looking!
08:52Go to us, Germany is marching!
08:55And behind us, Germany is coming!
09:01Go to us, Germany is coming!
09:07In January 1933, Hitler won enough votes to become chancellor and formed a coalition government
09:16Goering was part of his cabinet
09:22It is my duty to make Prussia the fourth and strongest bulwark of the German nation
09:32Three months later, Hitler received the authorization to govern by decree
09:39He became a dictator
09:41That meant the end of democracy in Germany
09:48Those were good times for Goering
09:51In 1935 he married Emmi Sonnemann, formerly an actress, and had a daughter with her, Eda
10:01Her godfather was Hitler
10:07But the good news did not end there
10:10In 1936 he received an extremely secret mission
10:19After the First World War, Germany was only allowed to have a small army
10:25Goering supervised from the shadows the whole process of rearmament and re-militarization of the German nation
10:45He molded an excellent attack force of more than a million men
10:49to whom he endowed the most advanced weapons and technology
10:56His most outstanding achievement was the creation of a modern air force, the Luftwaffe
11:06His first public appearance in 1936 surprised the whole world
11:12He was the most powerful group in Europe, feared and envied by equal parties
11:17At the same time, Goering was involved in the policies that would make the Nazi regime so famous
11:32In the 1930s, the Nazis concentrated their efforts on the Jews
11:37Their hostility towards them was growing more and more
11:47The Jews began to be discriminated against
11:50Their businesses were closed by the assault battalions, which soon left their violent character
12:01In 1938, several synagogues were looted, and many Jews ended up dead or imprisoned
12:10Goering, a fervent anti-Semite, vigorously encouraged that anti-Jewish policy
12:18In September 1939, Hitler committed his first major war crime, the invasion of Poland
12:40Goering's Luftwaffe was one of the parties involved in that violent aggression
12:48His role in the revolutionary German tactics of the Blitzkrieg was crucial
12:56The Stuka, bombers in picado, were used as air artillery to eliminate numerous strategic constructions
13:05Medium-sized bombers were focused on larger targets
13:21In Poland, the Netherlands and France, the Luftwaffe swept everything in its path
13:27Then, the fast and relentless advance of the tanks towards key objectives took place
13:35The infantry closed the committee
13:47Goering became a hero overnight
13:51In 1941, he was condemned, and in June he was appointed successor to Hitler
13:59He was just one step away from taking control of the Reich
14:05But then he was involved in the most infamous crime in Nazi history
14:21More and more Jews were arrested in the occupied territories
14:28In 1941, when Hitler invaded Russia, the number of Jews captured grew even more
14:39In a letter dated just before the invasion of Russia, Goering spoke euphemistically
14:45of the need for a final solution
14:49After a lot of insistence from Goering, in January 1942 a conference was held in Wannsee, on the outskirts of Berlin
14:59There, the details of the so-called final solution promoted by Goering were outlined
15:06A mass murder
15:15A mass murder
15:21Extermination camps would be created, and a toxic gas would be used to kill the Jews
15:34It was the first time that someone proposed to carry out an industrial-scale murder
15:40Since 1941, 6 million Jews have been exterminated
15:57Hermann Goering was the brain behind that operation
16:02He had become a flagrant criminal
16:06He had been crucial in the wars waged by Hitler against pacific nations
16:11And now he was totally involved in the Holocaust
16:15But ironically, the first one to chase him was Adolf Hitler himself
16:24Goering's fortune was decreasing in the course of the war
16:29In 1943, the 6th German army was crushed in Stalingrad
16:35Goering had promised Führer that his air force would contain the enemy attack
16:43100,000 German soldiers lost their lives
16:47And others were killed by the Nazis
16:49But Hitler did not want to leave his enemy
16:53100,000 German soldiers lost their lives
16:57And another 91,000 were captured
17:05The Germans were being moved from cities more and more eastwards
17:10The end is near
17:12It was the retreat of the great army of Hitler, who had been called in the past
17:16with a white flag.
17:18Those who looted, tortured and murdered before
17:22had to crawl and look for what they never showed
17:25with passion in their vendors.
17:32The heart of Germany was still being razed.
17:38Numerous Allied bombers flew over the Reich day and night
17:42destroying factories, cities and docks.
17:52The city of Hamburg was razed
17:54and 50,000 of its inhabitants lost their lives.
17:58Berlin was bombarded without rest.
18:04In Dresden, thousands of civilians were killed in one night.
18:13The Luftwaffe desperately tried to contain the Allies.
18:24But the Luftwaffe had been created to carry out offensive war tasks.
18:29The Blitzkrieg.
18:31And Germany was now on the defensive.
18:33A task that the Luftwaffe could not carry out.
18:43A group of Nazis began to turn their backs on Gering.
18:49His own life entered a spiral.
18:54His drug addiction had worsened
18:57and by the end of 1944
18:59a great gap had opened between him and the Führer.
19:05Hitler was increasingly critical and aggressive
19:08with the Luftwaffe commander.
19:13In April 1945, the war was at its peak.
19:27The Russian stonemason was on the outskirts of Berlin.
19:43Gering knew that it was all over.
19:46So he began to look for a way to betray Hitler
19:49and save his own life.
19:54The sky of Berlin was on fire
19:56but Gering left Hitler's bunker
19:59arguing that he had to deal with some very urgent matters in the south.
20:04He immediately left for Berchtesgaden, in the Bavarian Alps.
20:13His plan was to meet with General Eisenhower
20:17and agree on peace.
20:26On April 23, he hid in a cave.
20:31It was time to act.
20:33He sent a telegram to Hitler
20:35asking him to grant him the total leadership of the Reich
20:38with total freedom of action in national and foreign territory.
20:47In Berlin, Hitler was boiling with rage.
20:51His answer was not long in coming.
20:54Gering lost his succession right
20:56and was formally accused of treason.
21:00He had to resign immediately.
21:06Hitler's lieutenant, Martin Bormann,
21:09was one step further.
21:11He decided to leave Berlin
21:13and go to Berlin.
21:16Hitler's lieutenant, Martin Bormann,
21:18was one step further.
21:20He decided to arrest Gering
21:22and execute him for a high treason crime.
21:27Gering had just become a fugitive.
21:35Bormann ordered the SS to take action.
21:39An elite squad set out
21:41to capture and execute the Marshal of the Reich.
21:47On the night of April 24, 1945,
21:50they arrived at Gering's refuge.
21:53The Nazi leader was arrested immediately.
22:00They had orders to execute him
22:02but they hesitated.
22:04Instead of shooting him,
22:06they kept Gering under house arrest.
22:17The chaos had spread throughout Germany.
22:21Communications with Berlin had been interrupted.
22:25Only a few hours were left until the end of the war.
22:29The Red Army bombers were now heading for Bergsgaden.
22:34Their first target would be the Berghof,
22:37Hitler's resting place in the mountains.
22:47Hitler's residence was reduced to a heap of rubble.
22:51Shortly afterwards,
22:53a surprising news would arrive from Berlin.
22:59The Führer had died.
23:04Breaking news.
23:06German radio has just announced that Hitler is dead.
23:12I repeat, Hitler is dead.
23:17The night of April 30, 1945 in Berlin,
23:21Hitler committed suicide with a shot to the head.
23:27Gering was free again.
23:29In a few days,
23:31many Nazi leaders also committed suicide.
23:34Gering was the only one who was still alive.
23:47In early May 1945,
23:50he set off for Mauterndorf,
23:52near the American troops.
23:58The journey passed through winding roads
24:01full of refugees and soldiers.
24:09His plan was still to reach a deal with Eisenhower.
24:15A deal that would ensure him a future in the post-war regime.
24:23But what he didn't know was that the Allies had other plans for him.
24:28Plans that had been made 18 months earlier.
24:33In fact, they had a very clear idea of what to do with the Nazi elite.
24:38During these days in which Teheran becomes the center of attention of the whole world,
24:42it is no longer important how to win the war.
24:45The question is when.
24:53At the Teheran summit in November 1943,
24:56Stalin, Roosevelt and Churchill
24:59had outlined the details of the most appropriate punishment for Hitler.
25:04Stalin, jokingly, suggested that it would only be possible to avenge the Holocaust
25:09by executing 50,000 Nazi leaders.
25:12Roosevelt sarcastically pointed out that 49,000 would be enough.
25:17Churchill abandoned the furious meeting.
25:27Finally, the war was over.
25:31Finally, they reached an agreement.
25:34They would sit on the bench of the accused.
25:37With the victory getting closer,
25:40preparations for an international tribunal began.
25:44Justice faced an unprecedented situation.
25:48The Allies needed to sit someone on the bench,
25:52so Goering became an even more sought-after man.
25:56He was the only Nazi leader who was still alive.
25:59While Goering planned his next move,
26:02the Third Reich was coming to an end.
26:08Germany officially surrendered on May 7, 1945.
26:16The war was over.
26:27The radios of all the territories in war
26:30communicated to their troops the end of the confrontation.
26:36Goering could already take the next step.
26:39Unaware that the Allies wanted his head,
26:42he decided to go in search of it instead of waiting for them to find it.
26:49And he sent his assistant, Colonel Bernd von Brauchitsch,
26:53to establish contact with the Americans.
27:02He had a letter addressed to Eisenhower,
27:05the Supreme Allied Commander.
27:09In it, he offered his total cooperation in the reconstruction of Germany.
27:15The letter was delivered in Kufstein to the 36th Infantry Division.
27:29This division had already located several prominent Nazis,
27:33including General Gerfohn Rundstedt.
27:37Given the possibility of capturing another Nazi leader,
27:40the division set off.
27:43The soldiers were ordered to prepare for a very special mission.
27:52They loaded their vehicles with ammunition and supplies for five days of combat.
27:57Thus began the first great Nazi hunt of the post-war period.
28:03Among the troops, there was a rumor that their target
28:06was the most coveted leader of Nazi Germany,
28:09the second after Hitler.
28:15The Americans crossed the fields full of soldiers,
28:18submerged in a strange stillness,
28:21and continued to Mauterndorf, 86 kilometers from the city.
28:27But when they got there, they didn't find a trace of Goering.
28:31The prey had escaped.
28:35Goering, nervous about not getting an answer to his letter,
28:39had decided to go personally in search of the Americans.
28:45Finally, he found them on a road on the outskirts of the city.
28:50Goering headed a caravan of 13 vehicles in which his family,
28:54his belongings, and all his entourage traveled.
28:59To everyone's surprise, the Reich Marshal
29:02seemed happy to cross paths with them.
29:07But the story would not have the happy ending that Goering had imagined.
29:20On May 16, 1945,
29:23Goering and his entourage left the city of Mauterndorf
29:26and headed for the city of Mauterndorf.
29:29May 16 was presented to the international press.
29:35Far from being included in the reconstruction plans of post-war Germany,
29:40it had become the guest star,
29:43the precious captive.
29:48But that special treatment did not last long.
29:52General Eisenhower,
29:55sent to put an end to the media spectacle.
29:59From now on, Goering would be treated like one more criminal.
30:05He was sent to the military interrogation center in Augsburg.
30:09They took away his medals and decorations
30:12and put him in a damp and cold cell.
30:16Goering finally understood what his situation was.
30:20The interrogators focused on their functions within the Nazi elite
30:24and their role within Hitler's grandiose plans.
30:33The works of art aroused a special interest among the interrogators,
30:37eager to return them to their legitimate owners.
30:40Goering facilitated the identities of these.
30:48On May 21, the star was invited to speak with his advisers
30:52and to prepare for a trip to the bench of the accused.
31:10The greatest trial in history.
31:13Behind the cold and gray facade of the Nuremberg courts,
31:17begins the greatest and most moving trial ever held.
31:20Here, the governments of France, Russia, Great Britain and the United States
31:26will accuse the 20 main leaders of an aggressive nation
31:29of massive crimes against humanity.
31:40November 1945.
31:43The international press focuses its attention on Nuremberg.
31:47An international military tribunal prepares to judge the Nazi elite.
31:52Justice and democracy will be displayed
31:55in opposition to the despotic values of Nazism.
32:03The trial will be held in five languages
32:06and simultaneous interpreters will be employed,
32:09presiding the court two judges of each of the allied nations.
32:21Goering was the first of the accused to enter the room on November 21, 1945.
32:32The jail seemed to have sat him well.
32:36He seemed more awake, more alert and had lost weight.
32:42In addition, he had overcome his addiction to morphine.
32:51All eyes were on him.
32:55The most powerful living member of the Nazi elite
32:58seemed to maintain his past status.
33:06The accused had received a complete information
33:09prior to the trial about the charges for which they would be impeached.
33:16The court had decided that the Nazis would be accused of four different facts.
33:23Conspiracy to participate in the war.
33:27Crimes against peace for invading other countries
33:30without a provocation by them.
33:33Crimes of war for mistreating and executing soldiers and civilians.
33:39And crimes against humanity for the Holocaust.
33:46Attention, the court.
33:50Lord Lawrence and the British Sir Norman Birkhead
33:53will be accompanied by two judges from the United States,
33:56two from France and two from Russia.
33:58In this 24,000-word indictment,
34:00the charged charges are detailed.
34:03A record of unparalleled crimes.
34:08The one in charge of reading the charges
34:10was the American prosecutor, Robert Jackson.
34:14The crimes that are going to be judged and punished
34:20were planned in such a calculative,
34:23so malevolent and devastating way
34:26that civilisation cannot tolerate to be ignored.
34:32But Goering did not think to give up.
34:38The prisoners have been declaring one by one.
34:41The first has been Goering.
34:44We all wish it had been Hitler.
34:47You must plead guilty or innocent.
34:52I plead not guilty.
34:57Goering proclaimed his innocence,
35:00making it clear that his intention was to face his accusers.
35:06They began by showing some terrifying images in the room.
35:11Atrocious images of the concentration camps.
35:26The American psychologist,
35:28Souvrayoke Goering,
35:30was now in charge of the security of the concentration camps.
35:34He was the only one in charge of doing that.
35:37He was not allowed to leave the concentration camps.
35:40He was kept in the cell,
35:42and he was not allowed to leave at the same time.
35:45He was sentenced to 7 years in prison.
35:48He was not allowed to leave at the same time.
35:51He was not allowed to leave at the same time.
35:54Zubrayok Egerin turned his eyes away to avoid seeing the overwhelming images.
36:02Throughout the view, the accused had to listen to the testimonies of several survivors of the camps.
36:09The opponents were deported, generally, if I remember correctly, to Sachsenhausen.
36:18Other truculent images were also shown, including the one that referred to the US 5-4,
36:32a small-sized head used as a piece of paper.
36:38But although it was very easy to show images of the evil of the Nazi regime,
36:43to such an extent that not even the accused could deny the facts,
36:48it was much more difficult to find evidence that those people were directly involved.
36:59The task of attributing those charges to Egerin began on March 13, 1946.
37:07It was the personification of the Nazi regime,
37:11so proving his guilt and condemning him was essential.
37:19In Nuremberg, judges have heard the defense in the trial for war crimes.
37:25On the bench of the accused, Herman Wilhelm Gering,
37:28living exponent of the Nazi philosophy and the main accused in this trial.
37:33It is time to answer the questions of Robert Jackson, the State Attorney.
37:43Robert Jackson was Attorney General since 1940.
37:48He had spent a lot of time and effort to develop the rules of the trial and classify the charges.
37:56His performance was going to be crucial.
38:02But Robert Jackson lacked experience in the counter-interrogations.
38:06I have asked to have you show the document 710, United States 509.
38:25Gering was going to defend himself.
38:28Suddenly it seemed not to regret anything.
38:32On April 27, 1938, you published the sentences for covering up the Jewish links of some companies during the Reich.
38:41Is that true?
38:45Indeed.
38:48Gering began to respond to Jackson, quite extensively.
38:54The cabinet withdrew.
38:58Until then, all the parties had established cabinets,
39:04except for a few small split parties.
39:07All the men who were somehow available, had already presented themselves to the people.
39:14He spoke of memory.
39:16His explanation was reduced, confirming his total knowledge of the facts.
39:21It began to become clear that Robert Jackson was not the right man for that trial.
39:29It seemed that the Allies, and Jackson in particular, had underestimated the man they had in front of them.
39:38Before the trial, Gering had left in evidence the other accused in the intelligence tests of the army.
39:44Now he was showing off his mental agility and incisive character.
39:50The media trial was getting complicated.
39:56An English lawyer noted that Gering had impressed him.
40:00He was kind, cunning, clearly discerned the elements of the situation,
40:05and his self-control was surprising.
40:08Jackson managed to relate Gering with the persecution of the Jews prior to 1939,
40:15and with the looting and appropriation of artistic treasures.
40:21But he could not link it with the most important crime committed during the war.
40:27Gering skillfully dodged the complicated issues,
40:32and took control of the situation.
40:35He spoke English, and understood Jackson's questions before listening to the simultaneous translation,
40:41which allowed him to think his answer.
40:44He was a man of great intelligence.
40:47He was a man of great intelligence.
40:50He was a man of great intelligence.
40:52He was a man of great intelligence.
40:54which allowed him to think his answer
40:57he was getting out with his own
41:02luckily
41:03there was a man prepared to face him
41:10Sir David McQuarrie
41:13British prosecutor and an expert lawyer in the room
41:16very used to counter-questions
41:20immediately
41:21he began to dismantle the defense of Gehring and to attribute specific crimes against the Jews
41:27if the Jews did not want to work, they were shot
41:32if they could not work, they had to die
41:35they are just parasites
41:38then he accused him of the shooting of the British prisoners of war
41:43who had escaped in 1943 from a field of the Luftwaffe
41:48document D-569
41:54Gehring began to worry
41:57please look at the upper left corner
42:01finally he placed Gehring in the heart of the wild activities of the Führer
42:10the Russians formulated very specific questions about the role of Gehring in the invasion of the Soviet Union
42:19on March 22, the counter-questioning ended
42:27in July 1946
42:30four months after Gehring went up to the street for the first time
42:34the testimonies and the final allegations ended
42:41the only defense of Gehring at that time
42:44was that he had acted moved for love of his country
42:48he refused to have ordered the death of any individual or to have launched any atrocious act
42:56had to wait until October 1, 1946
43:00to discover the fate of the invited star
43:03while the judges meditated the verdict
43:07in Nuremberg, an example of the devastation caused by Hitler
43:11justice has been done with the men who killed and tortured millions of innocents
43:17the voice of Lord Lawrence symbolizes the verdict of all humanity
43:23accused German Wilhelm Gehring
43:27the International Military Court sentences you to death
43:31to die in the orca
43:38finally the error was issued
43:41Gehring reacted coldly and left without saying a word
43:46but on his way to the cell, he was planning his final act of rebellion
43:50something that would surprise the whole world
43:58the day after his sentence
44:00Gehring wrote a letter to the military court
44:04he asked to face a rifle platoon as a true soldier
44:11he argued that he should not be hanged as a common criminal
44:17his request was rejected
44:22the days before the execution
44:26Gehring saw his wife, Emy, and his daughter, Eda
44:30and began to prepare for the final moment
44:40the allies took precautions
44:42so that none of the convicts would avoid the orca
44:47all that was likely to be used for a suicide was withdrawn
44:55the prisoners were continuously watched
44:58and their contact with the outside world was restricted
45:04the guards did not separate from their side
45:07and communication between the convicts was not allowed
45:12Gehring was too valuable to take the slightest risk
45:24on October 7, 1946, he received for the last time the visit of his wife, Emy
45:32the orca was already installed in the prison gym
45:35and the executioner had already been appointed
45:42Sergeant John C. Woods would be his executioner
45:48everything would happen at 2 a.m. on October 16, 1946
45:54the date was a secret, but Gehring found out the day before
46:02that night, the prison chaplain visited Gehring in cell number 5
46:09the prisoner forsook all religious forgiveness
46:12and declared that he was fine
46:15the time of execution would arrive in four and a half hours
46:21Gehring received a last visit, his doctor
46:30at 22.44 the watchman saw how Gehring suffered strong convulsions and stopped breathing
46:39he was dead, he had committed suicide with a cyanide capsule
46:47he had eluded the orca in a final act of rebellion
46:52but how did he get that capsule?
46:59rumors circulated that he had committed suicide with the help of an accomplice
47:04among the suspects was his wife, Emy
47:08who could have passed the pill to him by giving him the farewell kiss
47:13the official story was much simpler and did not involve any accomplice
47:21Gehring left in his cell a letter addressed to the prison commander
47:26in it Evanna glorified having hidden two capsules
47:30the one used in the suicide had remained hidden in a bottle of cream that was used to cure an eczema
47:39this was how the last leader of the Nazi dome escaped from his execution
47:45to some of the survivors of the Holocaust
47:48it seemed unfair that the most wanted Nazis would never be punished for their acts
47:54however for others the regime had had to pay for their atrocities thanks to the Nuremberg trial
48:15Gehring eluded the orca
48:17but he was the most important figure of the Nazi party that suffered the weight of justice
48:24in the end his dream of having a hole in post-war Germany was broken into pieces
48:31deprived of his medals and the opulence of his past life
48:34he was forced to face his crimes in black and white like any other criminal
48:41that judicial process must have been traumatic for someone so vain
48:47but at least it served to compensate in a certain way
48:51those who believed that Gehring never accepted the magnitude of his crimes
