you had carl brandt, hitler's physician. and all the while they're going in and out of these little rooms and being interrogated by these different american military officers. underneath the castle -- this is one of goringing's loft wave, ad under the castle was the bunker which is where hoyt hitler plant to go in the event the reich decided to use sarin gas, and nerve agents, and why that nerve agent was never used remains one of the great mysteries of the war. we, allied intelligence, discovered these giant bunkers filled with bombs, ready to be loaded on to luftwaffe planes that contained sarin gas, but hitler never gave the order but this bunker was designed for him in the event he did give the order, this where is they would hang out. it was this great mysterious irony this is where the scientists were held who invented these nerve agents. these are some of the guys who were in castle cranberg, and we'll get to their stories in a moment. meanwhile, you've got something else going on at nordhawse, which is the rockets, a

and hitler you see the king, victor emanuel iii. two months after was the dramatic and shocking announcement of the new racial policy by mussolini, july 1938. the jews in italy were shocked to hear that the official position of the government was there was a pure italian race to which the jews of italy who of course had been there from before the time of jesus were not part. the pope was very upset. he was particularly upset because this seemed to show the increasing closeness of the fascist italian dictator with the nazi leader. people around the pope, as he was becoming distraught, and this is an important part of my book, become worried, because they actually are very pleased by the deal that has been made between the vatican and the fascist regime. pleased by all the benefits that the church has gotten from mussolini, and worried that the pope in his old age, lashing out, might damage those relation s. at his headquarters on the other side of the tybe per river, only a couple kilometers from the pope, mussolini raged against the

i was also able to work with children of hitler's inner circle to interview in berlin. very brave individuals as they are getting older '70s and '80s, some of them were remarkably transparent and shared their parents personal papers. that allowed me to bring some interesting things to the table i don't think has been reported before and photographs. by 1952 he was working for the cia. some of the war criminals were sent to prison, those were the unmarked graves. they were able to pray in the love the church but ultimately the cold war was getting hot in john mccloy's year with truman became high commissioner of germany and he gave clemency to the majority of of work and they were released from prison. and this is otto ambros at nuremberg the chemist with the 1 million bonus. he was convicted of mass murder maybe he had some foresight that point day he would soon be released but his finances were fully restored. this is so world the cia first right after the war actually 1947 to team up with naval intelligence at this place and used chemistry developed by the nazis with

and that was given out by hitler to his closest entourage. and he was a chemist, and he became very friendly with general lukes who i just showed you the photograph of, and the two men exchanged christmas cards for many years which are also in the military institute in pennsylvania. just to give you an idea of how close schreiber was to the top, these are photographs that the archive does not let one reprint, but i'm happy to show them here. there's schreiber with spear, and there he is shaking hands with hitler. so those are general lukes' diaries, and i'm just going to sort of end here with just a little bit about reporting a story which i think is interesting, i hope, about bringing new information to the table. because so much of this has been, you know, gradually written about in bits and pieces over the years. but when you come across something like these diaries, it's really incredible to me because i really do believe in the idea that more always gets revealed. and curiosity, you know, helps a journal withist. and if you look -- journ

of being hitler.reat achievement taking on the eastern front and defeating hitler. and to accuse russians of being pro hitler is an absurdity, i'm sure they got the message. they don't like it. thank you, a staggeringly important piece on what could be a small thing. you've raised it to the level of historic conscience, which i'm glad you did. when you have diabetes like i do, you want a way to help minimize blood sugar spikes. support heart health. and your immune system. now there's new glucerna advance with three benefits in one.

a lot of this putin is acting like hitler going around. lot of republicans actually agree with her. it's part of their narrative, which is that president obama's weakness has enticed putin to take these steps. so, yeah, they're comfortable with this. she might not be if she has to deal with this in january of 2017. >> she had this to say about vladimir putin's tough-guy persona. >> as for president putin, i know we are dealing with a tough guy with thin skin. i've had a lot of experience not only with him but people like him but in particular president putin, aened i know that his political vision is of a greater russia. >> susan, you literally wrote a book about vladimir putin. is he thin skinned. you know, i think he's a guy who can hold a grudge. and remember that this is somebody who told us that the breakup of the soviet union was the greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the 20th century so he's got a long memory and he's clearly now acting to do something about it. crimea, after all, is a part of what rugs would consider something va

talking about hitler.t really understand and i think you do, mr. ellayna. you are a student of history. is that what is going on in europe right now directly relates to world war ii. all the boundaries drawn by stalin and fdr. churchill didn't have much to do with it, right? have caused friction ever since the classic bully that hitler was is the same kind of bully that putin is. i don't see a lot of difference in style. >> the big difference, think the important difference and the reason why the analogy is far from perfect is that hitler had sort of global aaron aryan premises ideology holocaust all of that built into it you don't see anything like that what putin is doing. putin is aggressive but his goals are sort of traditional within the russian mind set. i think the -- and you mentioned the borders, that's very important. another point where they are similar is that both of these guys are products of collapsed empires who saw the humiliation, hitler after world war i. putin after the cold war. the em

and they probably believed that, hitler didn't have any -- believed that hitler didn't have further land aspirations either. i bring this up because we should not believe that putin doesn't have further aspirations. hitler did have, june 22, 1941, he launched operation barbaro is a and liberated russia itself from a treaty to carve up poland to an all-out assault and offensive to invade and occupy russia and nearly got it done that, mr. speaker is a long and complex history that can be read in a book written, the tite of it is, absolute war, written by chris bellamy, it's about 750 page this is a goes through the details, great detail of that operation barbaro is a and the german invasion of russia. that -- and it was of course turned back at stalin grad. while that went on, it was easy to see that hitler was planning the invasion of russia far long, long time. he was retrofitting his rail cars to go on the different gaming rails as they were sending men and equipment into russia and he had an agreement with the russians that they were going to send him the thing he is needed, raw materi

all these people saying putin equals hitler. for real?reason you just articulated, it's why i never make that analogy. i believe that hitler and nazis deserve a special place in history. while i'm no fan of vladamir putin and what he's done relative to ukraine and crimea, i wouldn't put him or anybody in that category, because i feel that it diminishes what really transpired relative to the holocaust and world war ii. >> david, what's amazing to me, people are using the hitler-nazi analogy in the vernacular in a very disturbing way. but two weeks ago, victor yanukovych, the guy that's been kicked out of ukraine, said we're seeing a repetition of the nazi overthrow of the 1930s in germany. >> i, like michael, don't like hitler analogies. this is a unique level of evil that shouldn't be diminished by frequent comparisons. "the washington post" had a summary today of all the people who have invoked hitler analogies in recent years. there was a very long list, and it was embarrassing to read. frankly, i thought secretary clinton's comment was

adolph hitler.ed to clarify but she didn't back down. >> what i said yesterday is that the claims by president putin and other russians that they had to go into crimea and maybe further into eastern ukraine because they had to protect the russian minorities, and that is reminiscent of claims that were made back in the 1930s when germany under the nazis kept talking about how they had to protect german my new orleans hornets in poland and czechoslovakia and elsewhere throughout europe. so i just want everybody to have a little historic perspective. i'm not making a comparison certainly, but i am recommending that we perhaps can learn from this tactic that has been used before. >> the day before she did make a comparison. she was trying there to back down but not really back down. republican senator john mccain was very quick to agree with clinton's initial direct comparison tweeting she's right. she said hillary clinton compares to adolph hitler. putin equals hitler. hitler directly killed 11 million

not in the totality of hitler.ave talked with some democrats and republicans who say, you know, she may have some sort of point, but you invoke hitler, you invoke nazi germany and you're really sort of stepping on the third rail of rhetoric. her representatives have not addressed this. they're not making a comment on this. but she will be speaking, lecturing, actually, to thousands of people, including 1,800 students at ucla here in a couple hours. so if she does feel a need to do some clean-up here, then she certainly has a venue to do that here today. >> yeah, because usually you can make comparisons. once you start comparing people or states to nazis and to hitler, that's almost like a rookie mistake. you don't necessarily expect that from the former secretary of state. >> yeah. and i think some democrats and some republicans thought that it wasn't particularly sophisticated. i mean, when you look at someone like hillary clinton, she is normally -- this would be out of character for her if this wasn't something

now if this sounds familiar, it's what hitler did back in the '30s.he germans that were -- you know, the ethnic german, the germans by ancestry who were in places like czechoslovakia and romania and other places, you know, hitler kept saying, they're not being treated right, i must go and protect my people. and that's what's gotten everybody so nervous. >> reporter: just to be clear, she was explaining today, clarifying that her remarks were likening what putin's actions, justification really for coming to the aid of russians as he is justifying russian involvement in the crimea to germany's, to nazi germany's really -- as hitler said at the time trying to defend german minorities in check slzechoslovakia and polan. here's what she said less than an hour again as she tried to explain that. >> so i just want everybody to have a little historic perspective. i'm not making a comparison certainly, but i am recommending that we can perhaps learn from this tactic that has been used before. >> reporter: and it's interesting to point out today, wolf, that the

the problem is because of all the things hitler did in the 1940s. this is a bit of a hair raising analogy. the problem is, you know, it's not over yet for vladimir putin. he's in good health. he doesn't drink. he exercises. we don't know what he's going to do in the last few decades of his life. what people don't realize in the u.s. is what's happening on the russian home front while all of this is happening. there has been a severe crack down on the media. people are being fired from their jobs for writing things that don't follow the, party line, quote unquote. it's becoming an increasingly, it's going from a soft authoritarianism, creeping to a totalitarianism. i have friends there thinking that, freaking out that america was about to invade them. it's getting scary on the home front. the hitler analogy is increasingly apt, not really given all the things he did after -- >> after what he did in the '30s. julia great to get your insight on this. >>> venezuela, one year anniversary of hugo chavez's death, nicholas maduro and government supporters p

now if this sounds familiar, it's what hitler did back in the '30s.the ethnic german, the germans by ancestry who were in places like czechoslovakia, and romania and other places, you know, hitler kept saying they're not being treated right. i must go and protect my people. and that's what's gotten everybody so nervous. >> that recording was leased by the long beach press telegram. event organizers had asked that the speech not be recorded. today, hillary clinton, as she used to do in the senate revised and extended her remarks. >> what i said yesterday is that the claims by president putin and other russians, that they had to go into crimea and maybe further into eastern ukraine because they had to protect the russian minorities and that is reminiscent of claims that were made back in the 1930s when germany under the nazis kept talking about how they want to protect german minorities in poland and czechoslovakia and elsewhere throughout europe. so i just want everybody to have a little historic perspective without making a comparison, certainly, but

hillary clinton comparing putin's actions to hitler's actions. we'll talk about that ahead. it was a day when the talking between all the parties began in ernest. also a day that tensions stayed very high on the ground. take a look. the crisis in crimea spilled over into the states wednesday, and anti-russian protest. the ukrainian police eventually step in to keep the peace. local ukrainian police step in to maintain the peace. tense and dangerous moments from the u.n. envoy, his convoy surrounded by pro russian forces. >> i'm in a coffee shop waiting for someone to get me out of here. >> the gunmen surrounded the shop with serry inside. he was eventually given safe passage outside and abandon his mission and head to the airport. and at sea near crimea's capital, with patience wearing thin, ukraine's active prime minister channels a cold war president, not from russia, but from the u.s. >> my key demand to russian president and russian government, immediately pull back your military. do not invade ukraine. my message to president putin is as follows. mr. putin, tear down th

he is not hitler.ut, he certainly read hitler's playbook. >> he will not be satisfied until he has brought most of that population back into some relationship with russia? >> i think that is correct. >> and you think the united states and the west has to do what to stop them? >> i am not sure they can stop him. they do not want to incite them by weakness. we are, at this moment, and this is a long-term project. you cannot liquefy natural gas and ship it overseas. but we are net carbon exporters. this gives us leverage against his leverage. remember this. people say, oh gosh, the europeans are addicted to his energy. but his economy is addicted to selling it to them. it is a third world country with a first world military. he needs the foreign earnings. if the price of oil would go from $107 to $110 a barrel, not $20 off of that, and russia is in horrible shape. >> if you believe the president is right, economic sanctions can stop them? >> they're the best chance. i'm not sure they will. economic sancti

hitler wasn't hitler until it started invading countries. >> certainly stronger statements than we'vem president obama. >> sure. hillary is hard as nails. barack obama is kind of a neophyte when it comes to these matters. lets be honest, president obama has botched every foreign policy entanglement that he's been involved with from libya to egypt to syria to iran. you know, i can see why hillary would want to distance herself from him. >> leslie, should president obama be listening to hillary clinton? >> i was a hillary girl before he got the nomination so that's tough. i want to say because we're women, i think if a woman runs for president she needs to show she can be as tough as men. i think definitely that is a task before her if she runs. i don't think the president necessarily should be adopting her style. i think she simply is speaking out, in her opinion, and using historical reference. i agree with chris. look, my people are hurting in crimea like hitler did. also evidence to show putin is nuts and would become a murderer like hitler. >> should president obama be listening to

you know, the guy, putin uses a tactics and hitler did that.but to compare him to hitler trivializes it. the take over of western europe. that is not what this is. putin is an easily riled russian nationalist. he believes to he has to assert russian national interests. not the same thing. again, if you compare putin to hitler, we have to defeat russia but he has to be destroyed as well. every time a country does something that we don't like, sometimes our structural capacity fails us. >> and then it is all obama's fault. that is because it appears to be weak and that leads to the other myth that bombing syria would have saved yukraine. >> i won't buy that either. it has been in consistent and the notion somehow that our failure to act in benghazi or failure to launch cruise missll misslles into downtown damascus that he had to find a way to stop it from drifting west. it is strains the bonds frankly to the breaking point. this is a risk averse president. there is no question and smaller powers read our lack of will and resolve. see iran and syr

hillary clinton got in trouble for citing hitler. >> charlie: she was not comparing putin to hitler, she was comparing the mean tactics and rhetoric -- >> to back and google up the speech he gave in late september 1938 two days before the munich conference began. he said, there are 10 million germans living outside the reich in areas contiguous to the reich. he meant the s se -- putin is at bringing home to mother russia the russians that are outside. and just as hitler would use the ethnic and linguistic germans to stir up trouble to jest fyhis -- justify his defensive action on their behalf, this is what putin's doing, he is not hitler but he's read hitler's play book. >> charlie: and you think he will not be satisfied until he has brought most of that population back into some relationship with russia? >> i think that's correct. >> charlie: and you think the united states and the the west has to do what to stop him? >> i'm not sure they can stop him. they don't want to incite him by weakness. we are at this moment, when we can -- this is a long-term project because you can't just

he wanted to protect ethnic russians in ukraine which clinton said was similar to hitler's infamous vowed to protect ethnic germans in eastern europe as a pretext to invade clinton as president barack obama as secretary of state in his first term was a key player in the us effort to reset relations with russia a policy that critics say now appears to have failed the eye. when it's nice to listen or to the states and of the sickest the two thousand and thirteen the sephardic the seam of toledo candle on top of visitors from all the state funded national museums. we have come to congratulate them on this success and asked him what keeps bringing people back again and again almost two million people walked through the doors of the spy museum last year more than any other publicly funded museum in spain the biggest draw is the building itself which is among the best assessed today it's a neat architecture around today. how was he being an important piece of comedy than subtle spicy stands the team was named screeched see and spend the least. thus in a recent drop in the construction of

comparisons to other leaders like hitler don't help me at all. i see a pattern, though, not about hitler but this concern about language. i think english is a good unifier. under the law. it's a good unifier. i see the power of russian and the russian language in ukraine and the way it has been used to regather the old soviet order in this case with crimea coming back to russia by plebiscite. do you think like hitler the land will not be enough in this case, that putin will try to get more of ukraine where it's russian speaking and perhaps look for an easement between moscow and crimea through ukraine? >> well, it's a dangerous time. any time you make people choose in terms of their identities, that's always dangerous. right? i mean, you can speak multiple languages, have multiple ethnic identities, live in ukraine but want to be part of europe. be an irish-american but live in america. speak french, german, italian. when you force people to choose, those are dangerous times. that's what putin's doing right now in his reaching out to ethnic russi

politics have been thrown away but i think there is one good one -- don't compare anybody to adolf hitlerwever, sector clinton decided vladimir putin fit the bill. >> today putin basically said that, oh, you know, all i want to do is protect the rights of the minorities, mainly russian speakers. if this sounds familiar, it is what hitler did back in the '30s. >> i just want everybody to have a little historic perspective. i'm not making a comparison certainly. >> maeve, were you in the room there in california when the secretary pulled it back a little bit. she was making the comparison, then she decided to say she was not making a comparison. what was behind that? >> i think that there was a lot of attention around the remarks. clinton has been so careful to not step out if front of the obama administration while she's in this limbo period deciding whether she's going to be a candidate. maybe that was a step too far because people won't get into the nuances whether it was a parallel or comparison. what she really did do in that appearance was to try to defense her record on the russia re

it's the same thing, hitler and the jewish people.aio and mexico or the illegal immigrants, as he calls them. it's not fair. >> inside, sheriff arpaio has put the entire jail on lockdown and is preparing to visit the perimeter and eventually address the media. >> are you lining up a podium or something out there? >> last report i heard, there's approximately 5,000 protesters, because of sheriff arpaio's stance on immigration and illegal immigration, he's a nationwide figure and they're bussing in protesters from the los angeles area as well as texas. >> we came from los angeles actually, and we're here to protest sheriff arpaio's policies toward immigrants, undocumented people and just in general. i feel he's doing a lot of, like, inhumane type of, you know, activities in arizona. >> so we've got a little situation. >> si, se puede. si, se puede. >> deputies in riot gear secure the jail facilities closest to tent city and the special response teams have been deployed to o-yard. >> we have heightened security on the yard right now in c

ambassador, everybody on this show said to stop making comparisons to hitler.ut the concerns about russia and the concerns about the russian speaking people and about the naval port there and all about crimea, is that to say they want to return? is there a call among the people of the eastern ukraine who speak russian, that they want to be part of russia again? i hear the opposite. what do you know? >> well, opinion polls taken in ukraine before the crisis escalated to where it is now underscoresed that people don't want. 20% are ukrainian. the other 20% are tatars. they don't want in the issues of ukraine. so i don't think there's a big appetite among the people involved here to split ukraine in half and have to go back to a debate other who is part of russia and who is not. with respect to the naval base, the naval base has been under agreement with the government of ukraine. that's not in jeopardy. nobody has raised the idea that that needs to be closed. and with respect to russians in crimea, let's be clear. not a single ethnic russian has been harmed in cr

i want to talk to you particularly about hillary clinton comparing what is going on with what hitler was doing in the buildup to the second world war, whether you think that's a fair analysis or not. >> now, if this sounds familiar, it's what hitler did back in the '30s. all the germans, the ethnic germans, the germans by ancestry who were in places like czechoslovakia and other places and hitler kept saying they're not being treated right, i must go and protect my people. than's what's got everybody so nervous. >> we'll be back after the break with your reaction to that. but i am so stuffed up, i can't rest.
