Visit Visit our website Part 2: “The Executioners“, aka “Hitler’s Executioners“, dates to 1961 and was based on articles by Joseph J. Heydecker and Johannes Leeb in “Münchener Illustrierte“. The narration was also written by Heydecker and John Leeb; the film was directed by Felix Von Podmanitzky and produced by Joseph Harris. The movie tells the story of the Nuremberg trials, contrasted with events that took place before and during WWII, as the Germans took over much of continental Europe and began a reign of terror. Chilling testimonies by the defendants (who do not show any signs of remorse) are shown, including that of Herrmann Göring, Alfred Seyss-Inquart, Rudolf Hess, Konstantin von Neurath, Joachim von Ribbentrop, and Alfred Rosenberg. Part 1 ends at the turning point of the war, with the winter defeat suffered by the Germans at Stalingrad. The Nuremberg trials were held between 1945-46 by the Allies against representatives of the defeated Nazi Germany, for plotting and carrying out invasions of other countries, and crimes against humanity. The trial served as the foundation for international criminal law. 0:13 man being lead up the stairs by MPs and executed by hanging, 0:37 Title “The Executioners”, 1:35 the 1935 Nazi Party day in Nuremberg, 2:18 American troops arriving and footage of destroyed German cities, 3:00 Refugees walking, in collection camps, and being helped by American troops, 3:36 Street footage from Nuremburg, 3:58 Winston Churchill, Joseph Stalin, and FDR at Yalta, 4:31 footage of Adolf Hitler, Joseph Goebbels, Martin Bormann, a dead Heinrich Himmler, Herrmann Göring, Alfred Seyss-Inquart, Franz von Papen, Joachim von Ribbentrop, Karl Dönitz, Albert Speer, and Alfred Jodl, 6:12 Hitler visiting Alfred “Cannon King” Krupp, 6:43 the courthouse and jail at Nuremberg, 7:08 the accused walk in to the trial and sit on benches, 8:46 the judges walk in, 9:01 Lord Judge Lawrence opens the trial, 9:18 Press bench shown, 9:28 Göring gives a speech but is interrupted, 9:53 Rudolph Hess, von Ribbentrop, Wilhelm Keitel, and von Papen all plead “not guilty”, 10:21 Göring speaking with footage of the accused bench, 11:29 Gestapo member testifying, 12:40 the destroyed Reichstag after the Reichstag fire, 13:02 SA leader Ernst Röhm, 13:25 Dead Engelbert Dollfuss after his assassination, 13:30 Seyss-Inquart speaking, 13:44 Nazi propaganda footage from the Anschluss of Austria with Hitler and Göring being greeted by large crowds, 14:26 Göring inspecting air force planes, meeting people, and hunting wolves, 15:09 Göring talking at Nuremberg, 15:56 footage from the trial against the accused in the 1944 assassination of Hitler with the accused being degraded by the judge, 17:52 Göring laughing at Nuremberg, 18:12 Hess at the Anniversary of the Beer Hall Putsch in Munich, 19:09 a special request written by Hess to his doctor, 19:26 Hess speaking at the Trial, 22:23 Nazi troops marching into the Rhineland, 22:32 Hitler giving a speech, 22:51 Nazis marching into the Sudetenland, 23:06 Nazis marching into Prague, 23:19 Konstantin von Neurath speaks at trial, 23:58 Molotov in Berlin, 25:01 American troops looking through treasures at Ribbentrop’s house, 25:23 Ribbentrop speaking at the trials, 25:51 Hitler being greeted by soldiers and then declares war on Poland, 26:30 German invasion of Poland, 27:00 a secret photo of the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact, 27:24 Lawyer Dr. Seidel talking, 27:32 German navy attacking Norway, 28:10 field marshal testifies about the bombing of Rotterdam, 29:33 victory parade on the Champs Elysee after the capture of Paris followed by victory parade in Berlin, 30:21 invasion of Yugoslavia, 30:51 footage from Erwin Rommel’s Afrikacorps, 31:08 map of German advances during the war, 31:21 Ribbentrop speaking at the trial, 33:09 Foreign Ministry press conference about the invasion of the USSR, 33:20 German troops invading the USSR, 34:18 dead Civilians in the USSR, 34:34 Soviet civilians on death marches, 35:07 SS man Walter Schellenberg testifies, 36:39 Alfred Rosenberg talking at the trial interjected with footage of slave laborers, 37:08 funeral of Gauleiter Wilhelm Kube after his assassination, 37:28 winter footage from the Soviet Union with dead German soldiers in the snow We encourage viewers to add comments and, especially, to provide additional information about our videos by adding a comment!
