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

and the world allows it...

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.

I would give a lesson to this

von Galen after the victory.

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?

A combat close 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 never bombard 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!
