Leading Nazi Figures

About This Chapter

As Hitler engulfed Europe in war, he used many people to maintain and expand his power. Those listed here are especially well known. They include people who clung to their distorted ideology to the end, and others who belatedly recognized Hitler's true character and ended their lives in disillusionment.

When they lost the backing of the Nazi Party and military power structures, they discovered their own guilt atop millions of corpses. It was an irreversible discovery, made far too late.

This chapter presents transcripts of Hitler's Henchmen, a television program produced in Germany in the 1990s.


English translation:

Hitler used many people to maintain and expand its power in the process of engulfing Europe into war. In particular, those who are mentioned here are famous, and there are many who have continued to have distorted ideas to the end, or who have belatedly recognized Hitler's true face and have died in despair.

When they lost the support of the Nazi Party and the military power structure, they found their sin on 1 or more million corpses. It was an irreparable, late discovery.

In this chapter, I present the transcript of "Aides of Hitler", a German program produced in the 1990s.
