4:23 am
a country estate was wouldn't. mendoza grew to an inch. blish. blue england is still considered the source of anything modern, including exclusive design. every thing has a touch of empire, even though they are now at war with the british. ah, ah, ah, the house is a work of art. in the interior, only the ceilings and wall paneling vermin, the regional furnishings are almost completely lost and with them. so as the memory of cecilia's influence in shaping the palace, if only in terms of furniture soon, the nicety shows the interior designer shows the noun books and saw himself as
4:24 am
a universal artist. meaning he designed the rooms into div malloy. m earlier style it oh, into valden as he has. so he was very, very surprised, and certainly also somewhat annoyed when the crown princess cecilia placed paul ludwig tossed at his side and followed, pushed towards 2 to reside in. the shared room is robust of roomy furniture for overseas steamers. was paola ludovic trusts trademark . cecilia's cabin room, though just perfectly how the architect could also create something graceful blue. meanwhile, the crown prince is at war on the western front. his troops alongside him in the

trenches in 1917, the monarchy collapses. in russia, the united states enters the war, and sicilian huff palace is ready for its new owners. it won't be the last project for sicilian hope. architects who business go lead tours to fall. when we know that gandy tossed, the wife of paul ludovic tossed it as introduced hitler to munich society at the end of the 19th 20th to i am through to him her and essentially taught him to eat with a knife and fork. miss owen gathered to s o n z o o. that was how hitler met paul ludovic toast in 1930 and envisioned him as the fuel has 1st architect on site in indian is now should take this rulers. this book here was written by pal shots a noun bike. no, no, it's no no dots in d. u. after 1918,
4:26 am
she knew he had stumbled into an ideological rot to the united mandeville, all of which culminated in an unsavory racist book. he wrote in 1928 called art and race and finance. at often, sciences was this was ultimately the blueprint for the 1937 exhibition of degenerate art as, as human glasses and alden to couldn't see the doesn't as there are already the signs of this strange and twisted volk ish ideology which was underpinning at low p early diane, destined or des showed the noun berg combined this with an incredibly radical racism for wooden huh. by choice and onward. ah, and la cecilia hogue palace. in 1918, the crown princess wrote about restrictions in the household, as well as machinations in the homeland and says, she considers the era the most terrible thing that germans have experienced in 2000
4:27 am
years of history. ah, a revolution, even in the german empire, the proclamation of the new republic and to red flags on the brandenburg gate. but neither the emperor nor the crown prince would lead the army back to the empire, which is in revolt, as had been expected by the aging leads. they are not seeking confrontation. instead, they have escaped in secret to the neutral netherlands. or as it as her uncle's tide a position, arlington minus a large part of the prussian nobility, and the monarchists, never forgave. the emperor and his son, for the sudden, oscar lake to at length actions were interpreted as coward as a month in for them. in the kids, if it may be, some saw it differently,
4:28 am
a practice. but every source indicates a near universal anger and deep seated dismay. at the flight of these 2 supreme heads of the prussian monarchy kept for a position when i see the crown princess has to cope with the new times alone at cecilia and sam. revolutionaries want to put a red flag on her palace because real german properties are considered confiscated until the question of expropriation can be clarified. the crown prince. by now, the former crown prince has been detained on the outpost veering in, in the netherlands. there he has to think and make plans. 2 ah, 5 years later, in 1923,
4:29 am
he returns the radical revolutionaries have been defeated. he was also planning a political come back in due course. cecilia hoff remains in the possession of the holland sans and the temporary confiscation is lifted. it's now home to the family, which is the royal institution in republican germany wielding networks and influence. ah, the princes are expropriated, but only partially. they are compensated. nobility were also deprived of their titles, but only in principle. them on the line for g of on for non one ticket for if you twist the order of 1st names and titles, one points meaning your name is no longer prince fawn, hoist ellison. but mister fawn, poison ivy glen. we can see it was all a republican compromise kanisha compliments. so diana confessed sean, they made
4:30 am
a concession to the nobility by saying to you may keep the titles of what for mother formally, the nobility is abolished found to formerly longed in. what does that mean? the daughter because she may, the people still exist from the families still exist and compared to other great historical examples in the french revolution of the russian revolution. those being the 2 most important ones in the german nobility, retained much of its symbolic and economic power. she under cornwall machine mocked by hate the nazis the most radical anti democrats conquer in the streets. there is crisis in the german republic. it seems to the crown prince that his hour has now come. a fascist italy has a king and a leader, namely, mussolini. what would that look like in germany? crown prince vill, how often receives his good friend ham, on, glaring at sicilian huff and even his friend off hitler chapter? oh. as skip,
4:31 am
i know not even for i still am deutsche and as for to wish there's a naive, perhaps foolish idea too that one could use the nazi movement like a trojan horse and toy andreas fit with which one practically jumps out of the trojan horse into the republic and then creates a new monarchy with vill helm as king vit him. i'd say with hitler as imperial chancellor on hitler. it's as vice con said hasn't plan owned isn't in 1932 mats. there were very advanced negotiations between hitler and the crown prince. about ado on britt loan, a division of power between them about puck dish and doom, few thoughts as we by not mocked. tie. the crown prince would become imperial president of america, and hitler would become his imperial chancellor. wanted clever design at this fails because bill home, the 2nd who was still alive and exile forbids this plan it and his son agreed on for beat it on the later on. hey, the crown prince made
4:32 am
a call for the election of hitler at on april 1st 1933 and 1 o'clock. glasses and vol. alpharetta. the crown prince believed his efforts had one hitler, 2000000 votes. but hitler has tricked them all. the german nationalists, and the monarchists, they misunderstand who is the horse, and who is its rider. when comes looking back, one can say that the friendliness shown by the revolution and the republic to the nobility was never repaid by the nobility to the republic. he might so could sought i. ringback ringback crown prince vill helm appeared at a nazi funeral service for murdered se man. in february 1933, this was more than a private celebrity appearance. he was here on a mission of his own in good at home by federal,
4:33 am
at birth to help with the crown prince is passing us now. they can be verified, but they're headed not descending the stairs in the rain. yes, hayden. madame gunther elvis appeared here to honor the fallen essay comrade with a wreath even as have many other superiors and leaders of the essay. you are dead. ah, doctor gerbils as thou speaking with the crown prince. dr. garbage with him corn. ah, mister sasha next period. that's important was the day of pottstown on march 21st 1933, and which includes the great pseudo monarchists both play held in the garrison church and pottstown chateau. and then later in the coal opera house and berlin, doctor sim board, astonished it betrayed a symbolic representation of the alliance between the old monarchist forces book symbolized by power upon hinden, brooklyn's. as well as the crown prince,
4:34 am
who is present here with his family of young v. as in this cornwall puck to she, the home salanza made a symbolically key contribution to this alliance between the old and the new world . i don't know. i update dodson. hitler's click on the garbage, click that hitler's view, and gerbils of you, which we know from gerbils diaries of the whole. and so lance as a whole is that they are useful idiots. us in law to do not. in other words, on the was, these are people we can exploit for our cause and effect. it's kind of up to say was no real mutual respect. i know about this, for the photo symbolizes this alliance of conservative and national socialist or citizens of a ti without which they would not have been a january 30th. 1933 glasses, genuine concent line rises without that the 3rd right would not have been created by shifts to make auto. hitler would not have risen to power coming and going off
4:35 am
season. and you can basically see that in this photo what it is, i don't think you should exaggerate the role of the crown prince though, because he is the symbolic figure by vendor court. but by playing such a prominent role home in that he was able to influence almost all the countries conservatives registered as london aus a feature story published in a danish magazine in 1934 reported on the sicilian huff palace during the nazi era . this gift and foot without one person per he hears a photograph with the crown prince is standing here in the upper gallery as my college tinkle and he's hitting a punching bond that was attached to the hook up here and to the floor down here. and so forth and sitting on the sofa against this wall were 3 of the crown prince's children. but thrilled frederick and prince prince, who baptists, and the youngest daughter cecilia watching their father hid this punching ball
4:36 am
with an hour here in the so called breakfast room of the crown prince and princess . all that fun and were standing in front of a wonderful carving of use, a vakari who did several very outstanding carvings here in the palace, autism. and there was also a photo in the danish magazine in front of this panel with 2 of the crown prince's sons, with who batters and freed racial and their daughter also called cecilia by the both princes are wearing as a uniforms and posing for the photographer in front of the heater cover in the breakfast room, hateful spotlight open for 6 am i . the crown prince sends messages back and forth, but hitler, he sends new year's greeting. sand congratulates the fear her on his birth days as
4:37 am
well as on the victories over poland. norway, belgium, holland, france, that that would be the end of the congratulations with them and come, then i shall have my son nicholas one can of course ask michelle, what did the members of this family do sign the much more interesting question to me is as a van, what did they not do from you yet? so if a member of this family had openly opposed national socialism at any time between 19181945 listing, clone plans. 40 imagine at the crown prince had campaigned not for hitler, but for the republic, the phone from or for a moderate form of conservative ism, for example, for come when luke i showed up. so it is not a completely impossible or absurd idea that something like that could have happened for it, but it did not. no avail. the family offered no publicly visible opposition to national socialism either before or during the 3rd dr. diaz. caesar from media. com, i ah,
4:38 am
1945 on february, 2nd. the crown princess of sicilian hope is already on her way to berlin's on halter train station to catch a train to the west. the crown prince is already in bad kissing in for a retreat. or 2 months later, british bombs annihilate potsdam city center. ah, 2 weeks later, the red army enters the city. the end of the war and germany and soviet marshall's you cough walks past berlin's helen soul on monument prussian heritage in ruins. ah, the planned berlin conference of the victors now becomes the potsdam conference of the allies, because berlin was unusable as
4:39 am
a meeting place potsdam is chosen. ah, the large modern sicilian hope palace seems suitable. the regal residence just needs to be quickly converted into a conference center. blue. the shiny leash. hobbies is called concession cecilia and jacqueline crown princess to celia and crown prince wilhelm. that probably went ready for what was going to happen. bob took dusty. emily caspell courts, the americans would invade here. hold on me, not the red army from wood to decile guy here. fun. i also think ought from other palaces that were owned by the family was stored here for light off austin, perhaps also from else palace yard does help, which was the main palace where the crown princess family lived in. felicia and julian dusky aguilar got ha on mont vanished to her former height at they were not
4:40 am
prepared to flee on touch on just took what they needed is hop local. so this place was filled to the brim. here for me, please, for negotiations had to be created for 3 government delegations, and the undisturbed parts of potsdam, their military consultants, security forces, press technicians, and a guest participants from france and poland also needed accommodation, middle class and upper class neighborhoods became of restricted military area potsdam architect and preservationist, your glen bag knows almost every house here. this villa was reserved for stalin, and he cummins august dancers, to warsaw ali out a vin colon. you can actually say that the whole historic villa colony, they all had to get out and advice, had been a day. there were german parliamentarian king commissars with white bandages who
4:41 am
went through the houses and said, and within 2 hours of new lease by a student who hours was given in various sources. lots to show from this. and this was obviously also in the minds of those who later wrote it down. so need augustine . not an issue. there was very little time. all happy lived here, help the happy family gotten big and the fur trade and then ran major department store knotted on the door in the cold brought a rug traders, estate wouldn't be good enough for stolen. so the soviet leader agrees to staying in a villa. cecilia and hope palace gets a big red geranium star in the courtyard. again, it is symbolic. soviet property, any stately furniture that isn't needed for
4:42 am
a conference, is removed from the house. the big round table is said to have been delivered from moscow. although others think it was from berlin, the victor is probably don't appreciate the precious palace, horn, solon, and prussia, our history had been a truly sh estie forced a long day. the impression the americans had at the time was heavily influenced by german immigrants living in the u. s. partnership as were many of the immigrants were from the south of germany to, from the, in away from prussia, the part and so they would say to the americans, she says, the main problem in german history is what russia mean. it isn't starts and you have to smash this person stayed, it was on t, the russians, the french and the british also shared this belief when they come to potsdam and 45, some call that prussia was the main target to attack target. they believe they had
4:43 am
to break this state. this military power doesn't mean to tear mazzocco russian ah, july 16th 1945, u. s. president harry s truman lands in berlin. gato. he believes he has a trump card in his suitcase against allan. he now has the bomb. the soviets do not 1st test the atomic bomb at an experimental station in new mexico 16th july. sir winston churchill also arrived the same day, a british war time prime minister on call. and he just doesn't know yet. ah stolen the generalissimo arrives by train from moscow to potsdam. that's a good 1800 kilometers at the booted 30 boys that there were 3 heavy trains sit eaten. stalin was in the
4:44 am
middle one for only bust a body guards, trains were in front and behind him, judas. and they had to cover a route through the soviet union, poland, and germany, your money. it led for this purpose, the rails were nailed down to the soviets. wider track gazer use. little below guard stood along the track, $8.00 to $12.00 men per kilometer. was me. that is one and k v d soldier got every 100 meters saying that right? so good it, ah, a soviet feature film liter glorifies stollins journey. ah. the film shows him as victor as sieve here, descending from heaven to his troops into the liberated peoples. stolen has finally become an icon stun in the, in the show stool. new styling was in the inexorable process of becoming
4:45 am
a god. him, he was a deity already in the 19 thirty's. but he became an almighty. someone who could hold the world in his hand, only after the war and going scope was through. that's why the title generalissimo was to below his status for him while and so the germs, godlike are simply god of the world where what he felt he had earned world. soviet people, of course, were aware at the time that victory was associated with his name and by b. all europe breathed a sigh of relief except for the germans. their guilt was enormous. for them, the conference could become a great reckoning and east of the order and nicer rivers. the explosion of germans had already begun. me. july 17th, 1945 to celia and health palace. the conference begins. stolen proposes us. president truman is chairman. truman has to be the mediator because
4:46 am
british prime minister churchill and stolen disagree on the future. western border of poland stolen wants to significantly enlarge his empire, but churchill wants to rein him in. but 1st, the issue was the germans and the for occupations. owens, an occupation government. the allied control council is to be installed in my involvement, there was broad agreement on most points. the democrats, for example, on the democratization of germany, on the decentralization of germany, and on the not the vacation to name just these points women. but it was understood differently in the east and in the west. this she didn't stolen wants to push all of poland westward. poland east must become soviet, germany's east must become polish. in addition, there's the dispute about the fate of the germans on the other side of the odor and nice of rivers. how many people live there? how many would have to be resettled?
4:47 am
$9000000.00 are only one and a half. and there is also the question of reparations stolen demands, reparations from all for occupation zone. this is vetoed when truman brings his atomic bomb into play with stalin. stolen remains on moved to france, harden both the dispute over poland, future western border. and the question of war, reparations even threatened to derail the conference press photos of the big 3 in front of the palace show. none of this stollins opponent churchill learned of his election defeat at home on july 25th. he had to leave. so clement, as we arrived, he is a week figure during this transition stolen and truman agree on
4:48 am
a compromise he done in the beach, takes reparations from their own zone. and in return we, the western powers recognised that the polish western border in the future will run along the odor and nice rivers. i say this is as a concession to the soviet union is all that is the true outcome of the potsdam conference on the continent. ah, the post war order is now on paper a declaration of intent and an opportunity. the occupying powers, including france, will together be responsible for all of germany and the political reality of the post war years, however, goes in a different direction. piece by piece, the iron curtain will divide the world into 2 hostile blocks. germany will 1st be separated by a demarcation line and leader by wall and barbed wire. germany is divided
4:49 am
into east and west. the potsdam piece resolutions up in smoke. it puts them a conference for kind of tidal discount for the potsdam conference was not a partitioning conference, but it was agreed that the various occupations owns would cooperate within the framework of an allied control council. am i there were to be central german administration says, and in this respect the result of the conference basically led directly to the 2 plus 4 negotiations of 1994. not because these negotiations would not have been conceivable at all at the potsdam conference made different decisions somewhat confir. therefore, the german question was kept open until 1999 is not so much. in 1945, the signs pointed to division, an east german land reform, expropriate large landowners for being supporters of the nazis
4:50 am
without compensation and without concessions. the o. the soviets keep cecilia house for themselves. ah, and germans are forbidden access for years. meanwhile, what are the soviets doing in the palace? it's a blind spot in the history of the house. for hon is written back of the potsdam museum, previously unknown film footage from 1946 sheds light on the subject. marshal. so kolowski receives british and american guests at the ceiling, and hope me, this is gifts misty conference. that's not the conference proceed, conference hours. that doesn't look like your conference, you know, talking to the women there are also confusing doesn't to yolande has on.
4:51 am
that's very interesting. i so then does over co in the high command is here. he is, it needs representative location auto want. and this is one of them is still and mom vice alt. and we also know that global political decisions were made there shall dolls. and that leads to a claim by the victorious you, our imogen. we're not giving that away issue or i would believe so. that's why it was quite clear to them that they would keep it done. but then that saw because he had those doses as of device to root lou, the fifty's, the soviets have left the palace sicilian hoff becomes east. germany's national memorial. ah, at the same time, deep in the west and hacking in the former head of household crown,
4:52 am
prince vill helm of prussia is laid to rest. lou, crown princess cecilia dice, 3 years after him in bavaria o potsdam selling salon palaces are museums when they're not being used for completely different purposes. sicilian huff, however, has a special status. the house is a political museum. part of east germany is historical image with and a national memorial with
4:53 am
ah, rosa marie has a sheer devonne who is a memorial director of sicilian hope when the wall ran through the palace garden. mm. the death strip ran there. right along the shore of young fans a lake. ah ah, i have in mind to home to mushy, anita who i never talked about it in my tours, for example. i was embarrassed to her when you have so many guests at guest, even guests from other countries who don't understand i'm doing that. can't
4:54 am
understand the building of the wall, fusty. what do you say to them? good. but i of course answered any question that was raised catholic today of what i didn't mention that otherwise come a means obviously sh mm. 1980 sex. another soviet leader arrived at sicilian hoff. he came as a visitor, hazardous fuss. if not the host could know. i found something at home, but this is obviously gorbachev visits because no, and i remember that so many people had gathered a long gold with chops, roots here, and the store to buy the road passage done. and he had the cars stop and often shook hands with people. you know, he was a beacon of hope for many and hoffman's kreger feler. 4 years later in the early 1990 there were bananas in potsdam coca cola, freshly ground coffee and the 1st free easter in elections.
4:55 am
ah, also in 1090 the potsdam memorial with the red star was discussed openly. and it's future was even put into question them. it's up to little. they will also efforts at that time to not only take away the staff zone, but also to redesign the rooms that would include leaving only the conference, told, with the rest of the furniture, returned to other policies or to hook to fuel when they wanted to limit the museums to the conference hall, often countries on cyber crime scene. ah, there were national reflections once the wall fell. germans from western east were bothered by this room and the juxtaposition of stars and stripes union jack and
4:56 am
hammer and sickle in a german palace. ah, ah, the right wing isn't interested in discussion and it shows it's a violent potential. july 27th. 1990. shortly after midnight, fire alarm sound flames and gulf. the large hall there has been arson in a building, constructed almost exclusively of wood, from flooring to wall panels and roofs supports. the potsdam fire department saves the building. mm hm. finally, a scientific advisory board from east and west takes on the palace as comfortably
4:57 am
him be found for her da. and before, by the court problem. before, before this advisory board even existed, was that there had naturally been a lot of complaints to the foundation to close this exhibition altogether. i think as to why could you give some historians who were asked quite prominent historian, ones that at the time to close the place down. we don't celebrate our own defeat alarm. i thought it was an important historical site as well as a palace for potsdam and i worked hard to ensure that the building would be preserved us, that the exhibition would be preserved often. and that's exactly what happened aunt is was and the house actually became a very popular palace when one of the most visited palaces in potsdam overall. and after this exhibition was redesign b. d 's. after my you started form was done or you can then we look exactly where the ashtrays are and the cigarette packs. ah ah, the kaiser rice, the weimar republic,
