it says the camp was founded when the nazi power -- not nazi party first came to power and has been in continuous operation ever since. its largest operations are from the war. the largest number in the camp was 80,000. in the official report, the buchenwald camp is termed and extermination factory. the means of extermination, starvation complemented by abuse, beatings and torture, crowded sleeping conditions and sicknesses of all types. by these means, the work continues, many tens of thousands of the best leadership personal of europe have then exterminated. bodies stacked one on the other were found outside the crematory. nazis maintained a building for experiments and to the sections with prisoners as guinea pigs. medical scientists came from berlin to enforce the experimental staff. in particular, new toxins and anti-toxins were tried out on prisoners. few who entered the experimental buildings ever emerged alive. one of the weapons used by ss guards. the body disposal plant. inside are the ovens that gave the crematorium at maximum capacity of about 400 bodies for 10 hour day. ol

who to fight first, japan or nazi germany? they believed that hitler and nazi germany were our chief enemies. the problem was that we weren't ready to fight the nazis on the continent of europe. we did look into plans to perhaps invade across the english channel into normandy in 1942 or 1943, but realized we were not have the material resources or the army built up that was necessary for victory. in the meantime, the soviet union was taking a terrible pounding on the eastern front. and so franklin and roosevelt -- franklin and churchill realized it had to do something. was it going to be in france? where do we fight? they decided that we would land in north africa. and so we tell the story in this north african farm house that we are spending in of that decision and its consequences. the problem we are greater face after we decide to go into north africa is: can our troops actually fight the battle hardened not see army and win -- the battle hardened nazi army and when? -- and win? behind me over here is our weapons case. feat

nazis on the continent of europe.e realized we would not have the material resources or the bey ill top that would necessary for victory. in the meantime, the soviet union was taking a terrible pounding on the eastern front. franklin roosevelt and winston churchill realized they had to do something to meet joseph stalin, pleading for a different front. where do we fight? we decided we would land in north africa. and so we tell the story in this north african farm house that we are spending in of that decision and its consequences. the problem we are greater face after we decide to go into north africa is: can our troops actually fight the battle hardened nazi army and win? behind me over here is our weapons case. featured are handguns, rifles, shotguns, mortars, other weapons that we are going to use to fight in europe. included in this case is the m-1 garand rifle. we also have the m-11 a1 pistol in this case. it was designed by john browning, and it is going to become the standard issue, very popular pistol that is

and other industrial facilities throughout europe that nazis were using. the reason this was so problematic for us -- if you think about it, for example, a b-17 bomber, which was the workhorse of the european bombing campaign, had trained personnel in it where you had 10, 11 men in there that every time one of those was shot down, it was one thing to lose your plane, but it's another thing to lose all of those trained personnel. that was true of the other side as well. the luftwaffe of the german air force had trained pilots were this was going to be a key element of what would eventually happen with the air war where it's about ultimately replacing pilots in planes. however, by late 1943, what we want people to understand -- we had to have control of the air in order to launch the d-day invasion of normandy. we do not have it in late 1943. in fact, we are getting beaten rather badly in the air. we tell that story in this video here. then we are going to bring our visitors into life at fort abbot's airfield in east anglia where you will have the eighth one

nazi administration buildings there in munic. basically, with the elimination of adolph hitler, we then have the opportunity to try and sum up what this war in europe meant. we do so with a film that tells what the cost of hitler's nazi germany meant to the world. in terms of death, it was something that had never been seen before. in terms of destruction, culture and unity the holocaust jews as well as others, political prisoners, so on. many others perished in hitler's concentration camp system. we try and give people what allied troops were fighting for. what it meant to extinguish that from the world. the end of the road to berlin after we try and summarize the cost of the war for our public, we have an ending quote by general dwight d. eisenhower. this came from a letter that the supreme commander wrote in april of 1943 to his son john. which he tried to put the meaning of a conflict that he was so central in trying to prosecute. he said, no other war in history has so definitely lined up the forces of arbitrary oppression a

this courtroom still in use today is where the nazi party and 21 german war criminals faced justice in the aftermath of world war ii. from november 1945 until october 1946, an internaaional tribune com prized of american, british, french, judges were tried for the crime. it was called the greatest trial in history. you'll see tonight it was imperfect, tainted with politics. 5,000 miles away, the other trials of 28 japanese war criminals that got underway in tokyo in january '46. these military trials were called international tribunals were overseen by the military in the pacific, douglas mccarthy. tokyo had the behind the scenes drama not the decision not to prosecute the emperor. you'll meet two prosecutors tonight from trials and hear -pstories from those that suffed at the hands of our enemies. >> this guu came back. >> december 1944, the tide of war finally turned, hell on earth continued for pow's. >> to abuse them, to kill them was not. >> they tortured them 36 hours then took them out, made them dig a trench and shot them. >> the two horrors would be revealed. the war ended fir

withering fire from the nazis was terrible. they were blowing up heads, severed limbs, arms floating in the water. it looked like general omar bradley, a catastrophe of irreversible proportions. but with the sea behind them and the beach in front of them, retreat was not an option. so what was to happen next? what would happen next was at 1.1 of the american commanders would say men, we might as well die on hard ground as we do on the beaches. and at that point they begin to improvise even the most other commanders were dead. so they kept pushing forward and pushing forward. and soon a miracle happen. they captured the high ground and the battle was the bears and d-day was the district it was clear a success and that hitler state would soon be with sealed and towards envy over get along the way, although with a relentless pursuit of victory was something else that was taking place. millions of lives more were at risk. that jews were going to die at the death camp at auschwitz. picture if you will auschwitz, this what was the cr

the victim of nazi persecution, or is it the nazi or german who acquired the property?my mind, the risk of the currency devaluation should not not rest with the victim who sold under duress. it should rest with the person who acquired the property. just as if he had kept his money in the bank, it would have devalued. that opinion prevailed. if the opinion had gone the other way there would have been , no restitution program in germany. practically none. i will give you another case. a dramatic case. the german jews had mostly fled. they were organized in congregations. every town had their own congregation. these are legal entities in germany. anybody who is a member of the congregation has to pay taxes to the state. the state supports the congregation out of these funds. the german-jewish congregation had been dissolved. the property had been seized. the properties consisted of old age homes, large buildings. various properties. the previous owners were scattered all over the world. there were in israel, the united states, argentina, shanghai, where they could find ref

that troopspment would use as they move through advancing against the nazis. after race across france, operation cobra, the united states and her allied forces are going to liberate paris in august of 1944. this was a high point for a lot of people who thought the end of the war might be drawing near. maybe we would be able to get all the way to berlin by christmas time. however, in this case over here we have a little artifact that reminds us that things get lost along the way. john mack, an african-american man, was from centerville, louisiana. he was a member of the red ball express. think about him racing across france. you need to be able to keep up with them and -- with food and troopse, keeping the moving. he lost his dog tags on the beaches of normandy when he came ashore as part of the red ball express. over 70 years later, his dog tags were rediscovered by a farmer in france who then sent them to the secretary of state's .ffice here in louisiana he presented us with the dog tags. in a sense, john mack and his dog tags came home 70 years later. here i

we are going to have trouble hitting nazi germany itself, the heart of nazi germany from north africa due to the limited ranges of the planes that we had, we kindoing to have a better of hitting northwestern europe and germany from britain through our 8th air force. north africa did take pressure off of our soviet ally in 1942. keep in mind that 1942 and early 1943 sees the battle of where things started to turn around on the eastern front for the soviets. they had been basically holding on ever since the invasion in 1941 by the skin of their teeth, as they say, and so north africa is important because we start to believe pressure away. a logically leads to the next step in our strategy, which becomes -- where do we go next? , thell be sicily and italy idea that perhaps we could reach germany through a southern route. it does not quite turn out that way at all because italy turns into -- as we like to say, a long, bloody slog. that was the strategic factor involved. we do takeout hitler's ally, mussolini, through these actions. >> many historians had pointed out that had hitler not in

the victim of nazi persecution? or is it the nazi or the german who acquire the property? to my mind, the risk of the currency devaluation should not rest with the victim of the duress. it should rest with the victim who acquired the property, just as if he kept his money in the bank, it would have been devalued. and that opinion prevailed. if the opinion had gone the other way, there would have been no restitution program in germany. i would give you another case. the german jews had mostly flat. they were organized in what is called congregations in germany. every town had their own congregation. these are legal entities in germany. anybody who is a member of a congregation has to pay taxes to the state, and the state then supports the congregation out of these funds. the german jewish congregation had all been dissolved. the property had been saved. the property consisted of schools, cemeteries, large buildings, and the previous owners were scattered all over the world. they were in israel, argentina, shanghai, wherever they could find refuge. but some small groups had

certainly those with nazis content, these might be useful in post war construction. also, those that might be advantageous in postwar relations with the soviet union. max lobe was dogged in this regard. there were so many tempting targets. even after a good and successful day, when he had seized a thousand medical and technical and scientific books, he still felt uneasy because there's still so much undone. not long after the e-day, his team arrived in the center of german publishing. it was devastated by the bombing. date tracked down many of the book wholesalers and literally went as much as they could street by street. they requisitioned a number of volumes from bookstores and publishing houses. they remove books from a chamber of commerce library. they were ordered to respect the integrity of university libraries. but when they found collections ,n the service of nazi ideology they considered that fair game and took it. as the investigators dug more vasty, they found quantities of books and other publications stashed in surprising places. in the wake of the allie

the nazis had various plans for them. these were eventually assembled in a big warehouse under the custody of the united states army, and they turned it over to the jewish restitution success organization. our first goal was to try to locate the owners. plate,e was a kiddush which i do find out where the man was or if it came from a congregation that still existed. we did the same, incidentally, with individual properties of restitution. we are called the equity procedure of getting the property back to real owners. to our first goal, restore to the rightful owners. usually you couldn't tell. tothe next goal was to try distribute them wherever they were needed for jewish reconstruction. a separate entity with set up by the jewish organization, called jewish cultural reconstruction. and the professor of columbia university was a member of our board of directors. and what of the persons who first came to germany to help guide us with what to do with these things. fellow and i did not know enough about cultural life and germ

we are going to have trouble , theng nazi germany itself heart of nazi germany, from north, due to the limited ranges of the planes that we had. we are going to have a better time of hitting northwestern europe and germany from britain through our eighth air force. north africa did take pressure off of our soviet allies in 1942. earlyn mind that 1942 and 1940, the battle of stalingrad, where things started to turn around on the eastern front for the soviets. they had been basically holding on ever since the invasion in 1941 by the skin of 13, as they say. north africa is important because we start to bleed pressure away, and it also logically leads to the next up in our strategy, which becomes -- where do we go next? it will be sicily and italy, what winston churchill called the soft underbelly of europe, the idea that we could reach germany through a southern bout. it is not turned out that way at all because italy turns into, as we like to say, along bloody -- a long bloody saw. we do take out hitler's ally, mussolini, through these actions. host: historians point out that had hitler

what the nazi stand for is antithetical to what we stand for. we have got to see this clearly, and we have got to speak up. and, if we speak up in time, we can win. there was no doubt in his mind and no doubt in my mind retrospectively that the german church was very strong. that culturally, christianity was very strong in germany. if the church had linked arms linked arms en masse and spoken out against the nazis, that the ability to do something. all he could do was to wake up the church and realized he failed. he felt that god led him to get involved in the political conspiracy against hitler. so he really went underground and became on the surface, he looked like a pastor. but he was now involved with the abwehr, which is german military intelligence. that is where the center of the conspiracy to kill hitler and his top lieutenants were in the abwehr. this that is what makes story so crazy, so dramatic, so fascinating. you think, here is a man who is very serious about his faith. god ledally believes him into conspiracy to assassinate the he
