Amen.
We thus have the occasion
to discuss questions
of international magnitude,
in this year of 1936.
Consequently, we must today...
Guards!
My name is Stephan Lux.
I am Jewish.
The Jews are persecuted in Germany
I see only one mean
to touch the heart of the men.
Soon, we will have England!
Go ahead.
Truth!
It will be necessary to return, lieutenant Gerstein.
We fight typhus
by eliminating the parasites
and by purifying water.
You put clothing,
covers, sheets
in a place hermetically closed.
By the external openings,
you introduce crystals
of hydrocyanic acid.
Here is the formula.
Do we have to manufacture them ourselves?
No, the Institute will provide them.
All the details are here.
It is a dangerous product.
You have to respect proportions and doses.
As for water...
that intended for the troops
must be treated.
And if water is drinkable, Dr. Gerstein?
It will be even more
after the treatment.
What is drinkable for a Slav...
It is not inevitably
for a human being.
Sit down.
We must fight typhus
like our enemies, on all fronts.
Continue.
Let us continue our presentation.
Did he conceive this program?
Is he in the Wehrmacht?
It was conceived thanks to his father
who is a friend.
THE FHRER ORDERS,
WE OBEY:
I just returned from Vienna,
I had your message.
What has happened?
God recalled to him little Bertha.
This is all that it remains of her.
What happened?
Was she sick?
The letter says as, "Cold,
followed by pulmonary abscess ".
Why didn't they tell us anything?
"why"
doesn't make dead come back to life,
especially in times of war.
She was my niece, I could
have obtained drugs at the Institute.
My friends at the Institute praise your work
and say that you eliminate typhus.
I serve my country as best as I can.
An idealist like you
has a place in the S.S.
even if your wife disapproves.
Excuse us...
Place the flower.
- do not do that.
- Why?
And your uniform?
Dead are not accompanied
in work's costume.
Kurt is upset.
Bertha was his favourite niece.
How long does he stay?
I would like to know.
And you?
Say to him.
I hear...
thousands of case through the country.
One of my parishioners received two ash boxes
for his handicapped sister
and two official letters.
One speaks about heart failure,
the other of pneumonia.
It is a plan of the S.S.!
I don't think the S.S deal with killing children...
The S.S. deal with all.
Reverend, I disinfect the barracks
and purify water.
That is not contrary
to my conscience nor my faith.
If you discover something,
warn us.
I have nothing to do with all that.
Like Christians,
we condemn the euthanasy.
- What will you do?
- To protest.
Who will protest?
Christian authorities
must react.
Allow me?
What do they still want?
Reverend told me an atrocious thing.
Does that surprise you?
He lives in the past.
To propagate rumours in times of war is high treason.
Monseigneur von Galen?
You did not reply to my registered letter...
...I log a complain agains X...
for the assassination of
"unproductive citizens".
We have the facts,patients's names,
their families...
and their addresses.
If you do not take action,
The Catholic Church
will have to inform her faithful.
Dad has come back!
Heil!
- a gift of France.
- What is it?
Open it and you will see.
How is the little one?
He kicks.
I believe that we will have
another lieutenant.
What is there?
We have a very difficult
problem of arithmetic.
I see...
Hello, Mrs. Hinze.
No, first your duties.
Read the statement.
If you do not have the solution,
read it again and again.
"Knowing that a house
cost 15000 marks
"for a family of workers
"and that one needs 6 million marks
"to build and manage
a lunatic asylum,
"how many worker's houses can one build
for the price of an asylum?"
They are considered
like useless,
like a broken machine,
a crippled horse,
or a cow
who does not give any more milk.
If you set up in theory
the right
to supress an unproductive neightbour...
Does Von Galen know how many were eliminated?
Several thousands.
One day,
you will be,
we all will be unproductive.
What will be of our soldiers then
when they return from the war,
seriously wounded, mutilated,
invalids...
unproductive?
These monks do not know anything
with the economy nor with the eugenism.
Nor with compassion.
Why not now?
God decides,
we carry out.
Enter, Gerstein!
Our specialist in purification.
Rest, lieutenant.
Tea, coffee, cognac, cakes?
No, thank you.
You leave to inspect
our units of disinfection.
Upon returning, you will drop by Poland
to control the use
of the 500 cans of hydrocyanic acid
that we dispatched to them.
500?
We build an industrial complex...
a giant one. They need
a specialist in chemistry.
Wehrmacht
has excellent specialists.
Wehrmacht is occupied
with winning the war,
...we prepare the
post-war period.
You haven't been one of us for long...
You will see that the S.S.
like close ranks.
This human heat
exalted by our Reichsfhrer Himmler.
Thank you for coming.
I leave on mission.
We won! They are backing down!
The euthanasy campaign is suspended.
- Definitively?
- Because they fear public opinion.
The army of Jesus overcame
the army of the evil.
Warn Dibelius!
- Where are you going?
- To the east!
You see this dirty water?
It could be worse!
Now!
If the pump is broken down,
there is the manual pump.
use buckets.
If not,
use your helmets.
If you don't have helmets,
then it is a serious matter!
But you couldn't be without
this mobile filter.
And here it is!
Do you want to taste?
And you?
Cheers!
That refreshes, that does not make you sick,
but it is disgusting!
A jumper of lady would be said!
You had the cross or the jumper,
with the combat?
I imagine!
I had both
in an engagement at night.
One needs more courage
for the cross or the jumper?
I was afraid in both cases...
but for the jumper, alas,
no bloodshed!
You fought hard both times!
Obviously!
As hard as I could.
Kurt Gerstein, of the Institute of hygiene.
You have 500 cans of hydrocyanic acid
in a not=n-protected place.
Only 500?
Vermin pullulates
between Berlin and Moscow.
With a can,
I disinfect a barracks.
If you are bombarded,
any life will disappear here...
They leave us in peace.
What do you hope to make?
- It is what?
- Astispumante. Italian.
To conquer half of the world
to drink this wee of cat!
I raise this filth to Kurt Gerstein
who joint with us.
First visit of one of our camps?
Not, of course!
This one is special.
How much?
400 units to be treated.
It is rather horrible...
Not even ten living people
saw what you have just seen.
Let pass to me!
You did not make a reserve,
captain?
All is complete.
Are you sick?
Are you sick?
Even an S.S. can be sick!
