Notes and HW 10

  • "There is no compassion for traitors. There is no mercy for traitors."
  • "You'll see men, I'll be proved right."
  • Hermann (Eva Brauhn's sister's husband) was executed because he had worked with Himmler. Eva begs the Fuher to keep him alive, but Hitler orders his execution anyways. When the soldiers order him to stop, Hermann turns around and realises what is to happen, so he buttons his jacket and Heils Hitler as he is shot dead. Hitler's men were faithful to him to their very end. This is an example of Hitler's totalitarian government.
  • Hitler marries Eva Brauhn on his final days. He's asked if he is of pure Aryan decent and then is asked for ID. "You're talking to the Fuher."
  • Marriage laws: in order to be wed, the two parties must have been of pure Aryan decent. This was a legal method that Hitler used.
  • Nuremberg laws were a legal discrimination of Jewish people. Treatment of other religions.
  • "I will never surrender, never...I forbid you to surrender."
  • Upon Hitler's death the new government begins peace negotiations, despite the orders Hitler gave. Geobbels wishes to stand by this order, he seems to be the only one who does.
  • Everyone is committing suicide as the hours come to an end. Geobbels' wife kills  her children.
  • Eva Brauhn's sister tries to leave Berlin.
  • An immediate ceasefire is ordered to stop the civilian's suffering, and the suffering of those wounded in battle.
