Chapter 1403 11402 Massacre requires a veneer of civilization

"Approximately how many premiere invitations can we get?" Anna Moffett, the second assistant casting secretary, looked at Mrs. Katie, the assistant casting director.

"Within 10 copies." Ms. Katie, the assistant casting director, gave an approximate number.

"Katie, which theater is the premiere theater?" Second Casting Assistant Secretary Anna Moffett asked.

"You must not have imagined it, sisters." Unexpectedly, the assistant casting director, Mrs. Katie, let it slip.

"It can't be the grand reception hall of the Reich Chancellery where internal previews are held." Second Casting Assistant Secretary Anna Moffett naturally thought.

"Obviously not." Ms. Katie, the assistant casting director, shook her head slightly.

"Is it the Adlon Hotel where celebrities gather?" German actress Anneliese Akerman changed her mind.

"No." Ms. Katie, the assistant casting director, shook her head slightly again.

"Is it true that like in history, the Nazis converted a Berlin subway station into a movie theater?" Irene, the studio's security director and female guerrilla, had some wild ideas.

"It's different from real history. Berlin didn't suffer major bombing by the Allies, so of course there's no need to convert a Berlin subway station into a movie screening room." Mrs. Katie, the assistant casting director, still shook her head.

"How about it fit in with the main plot of "Inglourious Basterds", where the premiere is at the Paris cinema that Suzanne inherited from her aunt?" German actress Anneliese Akerman changed her mind to something closer to the plot.

"No." The deputy casting director, Mrs. Katie, cast her gaze at Danielle, the leader of the "SA3 Sisterhood" and the chief casting assistant, War Girl, who was deep in thought: "Danielle, what do you think?"

Danielle, the leader of the "SA3 Sisters" and chief casting assistant, the war girl, made a surprising statement: "I guess it's the Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp."

Sachsenhausen concentration camp, located near Berlin, the capital of Germany, was the headquarters of the Nazi concentration camps in the German occupation zone during World War II. The concentration camp covers an area of ​​400 hectares and has a triangular layout. It was designed and built in accordance with the requirements of Himmler, the leader of the Nazi SS, and is considered the most "modern" concentration camp. From its establishment in 1936 to its liberation on April 1945, 4, more than 22 communists, social democrats, resistance fighters, Jews, Gypsies and Soviet prisoners of war from various European countries were imprisoned here. Half of them died in hard labor, Disease or being shot and burned. In the Sachsenhausen concentration camp, there were bars, theaters, libraries and other facilities. In fact, "in the remaining Nazi SS documents, words such as 'execution' and 'shooting' rarely appear, but are replaced by cautious terms such as 'relocation' and 'final solution'. In addition to covering up crimes, the Nazis were also worried what?

In 1941, General Herbert Backe, deputy commander of the SS, visited Ukraine. He witnessed a shooting targeting Jews and partisans. Afterwards, he approached SS leader Himmler: 'I have an obligation. Let me tell you, our young people are ruined, there are only 100 of them, but thousands of them have to be disposed of, what kind of people are we creating, madmen or beasts, I saw the faces of the young men, how will they live after the war. Himmler listened to this opinion, and he also agreed that "massacre needs a little cloak of civilization to protect the mental health of the murderer and achieve the goal of being crazy but not losing his reason." Extermination camps were thus established. The most typical one is the Auschwitz concentration camp in Poland. Jews were driven into the gas chambers. An SS soldier poured Zyklon powder from the chimney on the roof and left. Twenty minutes later, the prisoners opened the gas chamber door. During the process, the SS guards stood far away, waiting for the prisoners to finish collecting the bodies before they came back. The SS guards had the same eight-hour working day as ordinary civil servants and enjoyed fixed holidays. At the same time, the concentration camp built bars, theaters, libraries, family quarters, and even kindergartens. The commander of Auschwitz, Hess, encouraged the SS to bring their families to live together in the camp. There were bright houses with servants and pleasant tree-lined paths. The SS also organized regular get-togethers, where the wives talked about their parents' shortcomings. Children were playing on the side. The purpose of all this was to create a 'civilized' environment so that the SS would feel that they were just doing a normal job, with a sense of honor and good treatment. But did the guards at Auschwitz really work?

In 1943, an SS colonel inspected Auschwitz. He saw a guard preparing to shoot a Jew because he had prevented another Jew from committing suicide. The SS members drank heavily after work. Finally, when he didn't want to get up and turn off the lights, he used a pistol to smash the light bulbs. Corruption was becoming more and more rampant. The coat of Nazis could not hide the evil. It was contrary to human nature and could not maintain mental health. It was just a cover-up. ”——Adapted from “There are bars, theaters, and libraries in Nazi concentration camps, for reasons you may not guess.”

"You guessed it." Assistant Casting Director Mrs. Katie sighed with a complicated expression: "It is said that there are also representatives of concentration camp prisoners who will watch the premiere of this movie together."

"Obviously, this is also a 'sugar-coated cannonball' thought up by the Nazi number two, using the splendor of a movie premiere to whitewash the peace of the concentration camp. The subtext is: Look, even the concentration camp is very civilized." Speaking of which, the first Second Casting Assistant Secretary Anna Moffitt couldn't help but feel chills all over: "'Hell is empty, the devil is in the world.'"

"This sentence comes from Shakespeare's "The Tempest."" German actress Anneliese Akerman murmured in a low voice.

As the command headquarters of the Nazi concentration camp, Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp is not only the closest to Berlin and the most "modern" concentration camp, but another important reason is that communists, social democrats, and resistance movements from various European countries were imprisoned here. Soldiers, Jews, Gypsies and Soviet prisoners of war.

And these people are all hostages to ensure that the premiere can be held successfully.

Just imagine, even if the news is received in advance, the resistance organizations lurking in Europe will try to assassinate Hitler and his Nazi leaders, but they will "throw the bullet". Even the Allied bombers did not dare to drop bombs randomly on the Sachsenhausen concentration camp where their comrades were detained.

Moreover, as the most "modern" concentration camp, Sachsenhausen's defense facilities must be extremely complete. Small-scale guerrilla-style raids simply cannot break through the defenses. Once an unexpected incident occurs, all it takes is an order from the head of state. The Sachsenhausen concentration camp was completely sealed off, and the assassination and espionage teams that mixed into the premiere were unable to escape.

It must be said that holding the premiere in a concentration camp was indeed a clever move by the Nazis.
