Hitler: The Rise of Evil Page #3

that the demobilised soldiers of the war

are still active and

armed in our countrysides?

- Herr Gerlich, you'll be late.

- Don't worry, Frau Schmidt.

These things never start on time.

With the collapse of the monarchy

and now the Communist regime,

what new form of government awaits us?

Deep feelings of nationalistic pride

are springing up against...

No, no... in defiance of the Communists,

the allies of anyone

who thinks Germany is finished.

All right, everybody. Come on now.

Let's get started. Let's get started.

What are you doing here?

Sorry. Sorry.

- Judge.

- Ah, Herr Gerlich.

Good day for the news, bad for a wedding.

Thank you for waiting.

I couldn't very well start without you.

Officially the Reds are gone but

the army needs to make sure they stay gone.

It's my job as head of Army Information

to prevent the sort of civil unrest

that happened last spring

from happening again.

I gather you're very outspoken

in your nationalist leanings.

- I believe in Germany, sir.

- Good.

There are nearly 50 political factions

in this city at the moment

and I use informants to identify

the more aggressive ones.

- Does this interest you?

- Informing, sir?

One of these groups is the German Workers'

Party led by a man called Anton Drexler.

They gather in the

back room of a beer hall.

Just an excuse to have

a drink I expect but...

pay them a visit and tell

me what they're planning.

- I don't drink, sir.

- Just listen then.

But interest equals slavery.

The Berlin-centred economy,

which is currently collapsing...

...leaves us no other choice than to declare

Bavarian independence.

Waiter, two more beers.

The state of Bavaria must separate from

the rest of Germany and form its own nation.

Insane.

Of course, we are a different society.

We are predominantly Catholic.

They are not.

We're all German.

Culturally, perhaps, there are similarities,

but even there...

What about Parsifal? Lohengrin?

Young man, I'm talking about

reality not fairy tales.

You're talking about the purity

of the German people...

which is no fairy tale.

- As I was saying. Interest equals...

- Find out who he is.

What's this?

- It's my report on the

German Workers' Party, sir.

I only asked for a few words.

They've asked me if I'd like to join.

I haven't... accepted yet.

Should we be concerned about them?

That's all I need to know.

It's club life of the lowest form, sir.

But I like the underlying politics.

"The Nationalist agenda

must include elimination of the Jews."

What's this have to do with your report?

Just some thoughts of my own I added.

You disagree?

- It's just not feasible.

- Oh, it's very feasible, sir.
