biggest weakness?

00:06:57.680 --> 00:06:59.478
Being an American?

00:07:02.960 --> 00:07:06.919
Born Mildred Elizabeth Sisk
in Portland, Maine.

00:07:07.000 --> 00:07:08.115
Your mother remarried.

00:07:08.200 --> 00:07:11.670
You took the surname Gillars.

00:07:11.760 --> 00:07:14.957
In 1911, at 16,
you moved to Conneaut, Ohio.

00:07:15.040 --> 00:07:20.160
Nineteen-eighteen, you enrolled
at Ohio Wesleyan University

00:07:20.240 --> 00:07:22.993
to study dramatic arts.

00:07:23.080 --> 00:07:24.593
Then I moved to New York City

00:07:24.680 --> 00:07:27.513
and toured with stock companies
and vaudeville.

00:07:30.520 --> 00:07:33.114
Nineteen twenty-nine,
you moved to France

00:07:33.200 --> 00:07:34.998
and lived in Paris.

00:07:35.080 --> 00:07:39.870
In 1934, you moved to Dresden
to study music

00:07:39.960 --> 00:07:43.237
and was enrolled
as a teacher of English

00:07:43.320 --> 00:07:47.029
at the Berlitz School
of Languages in Berlin.

00:07:47.120 --> 00:07:48.349

00:07:48.440 --> 00:07:49.714

I want you
to understand something.

00:08:19.400 --> 00:08:24.031
The spoken word is the most
powerful weapon in the world.

00:08:24.120 --> 00:08:26.475
With the right words,
a war can be won

00:08:26.560 --> 00:08:28.949

is loaded.

00:08:29.040 --> 00:08:33.318
We're here to attract people,
to win them over.

00:08:33.400 --> 00:08:36.074
That is "propaganda".

00:08:36.200 --> 00:08:39.909
And it works best
when those being manipulated.

00:08:40.000 --> 00:08:43.880
Are confident they're acting
on their own free will.

00:08:46.760 --> 00:08:47.875

00:08:47.960 --> 00:08:49.598
Yes. Quite clear,

00:08:52.000 --> 00:08:54.150
This is Berlin calling.

00:08:54.240 --> 00:08:57.995
Berlin calling the American
mothers and wives.

00:08:58.080 --> 00:09:01.789
And when Berlin calls,
it pays to listen in

00:09:01.880 --> 00:09:05.191
because there's an American girl
sitting at the microphone

00:09:05.280 --> 00:09:07.556

00:09:07.640 --> 00:09:12.396

to her countrywomen back home.

nothing in the world

00:09:16.960 --> 00:09:21.079
any sweeter
than the sounds of home.

00:09:21.160 --> 00:09:23.993
Is someone missing you tonight?

00:09:24.080 --> 00:09:25.878

00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:29.436
Sandy? Karen?

00:09:29.520 --> 00:09:31.477
Do those thoughts
bring back memories

00:09:31.560 --> 00:09:37.158
of the sultry summer nights
dancing so close together?

00:09:37.240 --> 00:09:40.517

as a man who does charity.

00:15:16.280 --> 00:15:20.478
In fact, I would bet
you're bought and sold.

00:15:20.560 --> 00:15:21.840
(WHISPERS)
to the highest bidder.

00:15:24.600 --> 00:15:27.592
- That hurts even more.
- Thank you for that.

00:15:27.680 --> 00:15:29.193
Why don't you
finish signing that?

00:15:29.320 --> 00:15:30.719
Read it, sign it.

00:15:30.800 --> 00:15:33.838
And I'll be back when
you're somehow better framed.

00:15:35.320 --> 00:15:38.870
It's your job
to prove I'm innocent.

00:15:38.960 --> 00:15:42.635
Miss Gillars, you are,
right now, at this very moment,

00:15:42.720 --> 00:15:45.872
the most hated person
in America.

00:15:47.600 --> 00:15:51.594
On a par perhaps
with Hitler himself.

00:15:51.720 --> 00:15:55.429
The only difference
between you and Hitler,

00:15:55.520 --> 00:15:59.354
as the public sees it,
is that you're still breathing.

00:16:01.240 --> 00:16:02.514
I will be your lawyer.

00:16:02.600 --> 00:16:04.557
I will see
that you get a fair trial.

00:16:06.000 --> 00:16:10.597
Nothing more, nothing less.
You got me. Alright?

00:16:14.920 --> 00:16:17.116
I want another lawyer.

00:16:17.200 --> 00:16:18.873
New lawyer?

00:16:18.960 --> 00:16:20.598
(SCOFFS) Nobody
wants to be your lawyer.

00:16:21.840 --> 00:16:23.751
You understand that?

00:16:23.840 --> 00:16:26.480
I'm your lawyer.
Nobody wanted the case.

00:16:26.560 --> 00:16:27.834
And you did?

00:16:30.400 --> 00:16:31.629
I was asked.

00:16:31.760 --> 00:16:32.760
Not by me.

00:16:32.800 --> 00:16:35.713
Oh no, not by you, no.

00:16:35.800 --> 00:16:39.395
But beggars can't be choosers.
Can they?

00:16:39.480 --> 00:16:40.914
This is not fair.

00:16:42.680 --> 00:16:45.149
If you live,
it'll be fair.

00:16:47.080 --> 00:16:49.356
Sign that paper,
and I will talk to you soon.

00:16:49.440 --> 00:16:51.158
(CALLS OUT)
Can I get out of here, please?

00:16:52.680 --> 00:16:53.954
Hello, Larry.

00:16:54.040 --> 00:16:55.320
Pretty tough case, Mr. Laughlin.

00:16:55.400 --> 00:16:57.148
- Any comments?
- Oh, it's tough. It's tough.

00:16:57.160 --> 00:16:58.480
That's why I'm here.

00:16:58.560 --> 00:17:00.631
Otherwise, you'd be
talking to Mr. Myers, right?

00:17:00.720 --> 00:17:02.119
- Well.
- (LAUGHS) Yeah.

00:17:02.200 --> 00:17:04.068
Oh, and sir, is it true
Miss Gillars shot and killed

00:17:04.080 --> 00:17:06.799
three American soldiers?
Oh, come on, Larry.

00:17:06.920 --> 00:17:09.355
This is a case about words,
not bullets.

00:17:09.440 --> 00:17:12.671
Excuse me. Mr. Laughlin!

00:17:12.800 --> 00:17:13.949
Hey, I'm sorry,
I don't...

00:17:14.040 --> 00:17:15.838
I don't have any spare change.
I don't...

00:17:15.920 --> 00:17:17.108
- I don't carry any around.
- Can you...

00:17:17.120 --> 00:17:19.080
Can you spare a minute
of your time, Mr. Laughlin?

00:17:20.080 --> 00:17:21.748
Alright. That's really
a lot more expensive,

00:17:21.760 --> 00:17:22.760
but go ahead. Shoot.

00:17:22.800 --> 00:17:24.120
Tommy's in the slammer.

00:17:26.800 --> 00:17:27.835
Is this real?

00:17:29.160 --> 00:17:30.878
- What'd he do?
- Assault and battery.

00:17:30.960 --> 00:17:33.474
Messed the guy up pretty bad.
He's gonna do time.

00:17:33.560 --> 00:17:35.551
Hot damn.

00:17:35.640 --> 00:17:37.756
Now, he had a problem
with the giggle water.

00:17:37.840 --> 00:17:38.910
Now how do you know this?

00:17:39.000 --> 00:17:40.400
I-I used to work
for Jerry Matthews,

00:17:40.480 --> 00:17:42.869
county court public defender.

00:17:42.960 --> 00:17:44.708
What do you mean, used to?
What does that mean?

00:17:44.720 --> 00:17:46.597
Well, you've got
an open seat at your table

00:17:46.680 --> 00:17:49.718
and I-I wanna take
Tommy's place.

00:17:51.360 --> 00:17:52.873
Where did you serve?

00:17:52.960 --> 00:17:54.880
Almost died of dengue fever
in the South Pacific,

00:17:54.920 --> 00:17:57.275
but I got this
when I fractured my ankle

00:17:57.360 --> 00:17:59.351
jumping down a 12-foot perch
at Key's Theater

00:17:59.440 --> 00:18:02.592
after watching Truman's
inauguration parade.

00:18:02.680 --> 00:18:04.671
Well, that's a tough break.

00:18:04.760 --> 00:18:05.800
Tough break. That's funny.

00:18:05.880 --> 00:18:07.359
You-you-you got
some real wit, sir.

00:18:09.120 --> 00:18:12.112
Now, that wasn't a pun.
Drop the ass-kissing.

00:18:12.200 --> 00:18:13.952
Tommy was very good
at what he did.

00:18:14.040 --> 00:18:15.474
So those are big shoes to fill.

00:18:15.560 --> 00:18:17.392
Can you do it?
What do you got?

00:18:17.480 --> 00:18:20.552
Well sir, I was the reason
Tommy passed the bar.

00:18:20.640 --> 00:18:22.788
I was the top of my class
at George Washington University

00:18:22.800 --> 00:18:24.632
and the top
of my officer training class

00:18:24.720 --> 00:18:26.791
in the Marine Corps.

00:18:26.880 --> 00:18:28.200
I wanna learn from the best.

00:18:29.400 --> 00:18:31.596
Well, I'm not looking
for a student.

00:18:31.680 --> 00:18:33.591
This isn't county court, kid.

00:18:33.680 --> 00:18:37.355
I don't represent hookers.
I don't represent thieves.

What I do affects
the whole country.

00:18:41.640 --> 00:18:44.029
I'm willing to do
whatever it takes.

00:18:44.120 --> 00:18:45.872
Can you sit next to a woman

00:18:45.960 --> 00:18:47.917
for the final two months
of her life,

00:18:48.000 --> 00:18:51.755
knowing that you'll probably be
the last person she sees

00:18:51.840 --> 00:18:54.593
before she's hanged?
You do that?

00:18:56.880 --> 00:18:58.678
Uh. Yes.

00:19:02.880 --> 00:19:04.279
You got an hour.

00:19:04.360 --> 00:19:06.715
Uh, you got clothes at home?

00:19:06.800 --> 00:19:08.029
- No, sir.
- Didn't think so.

00:19:08.120 --> 00:19:09.713
You're gonna need a suit.

00:19:09.800 --> 00:19:11.234
And you're gonna need shoes

00:19:11.320 --> 00:19:13.880
that look like
you don't walk to work.

00:19:13.960 --> 00:19:15.837
So, this is for you.

00:19:15.920 --> 00:19:18.230
Now if you're not back
before they swear in the jury,

00:19:18.320 --> 00:19:19.833
you lost your seat at the table.

00:19:19.920 --> 00:19:21.319
You don't have a job.

00:19:21.400 --> 00:19:23.388
You will have a suit.
You will have a pair of shoes.

00:19:23.400 --> 00:19:24.674
Yes, sir.
Thank you, sir.

00:19:24.760 --> 00:19:25.955
You'll owe me for them.

- Won't disappoint you.
- Thank you.

(SLAMS GAVEL)

00:22:50.800 --> 00:22:53.280
JUDGE CURRAN: This is a matter
of United States versus Gillars.

00:22:54.640 --> 00:22:56.870
Ladies and gentlemen
of the jury,

00:22:56.960 --> 00:23:00.351
your duty here today and
over the course of this trial

00:23:00.480 --> 00:23:04.360
is to determine if the defendant
is guilty of treason or not,

00:23:04.440 --> 00:23:08.479
based solely on the evidence
and facts provided here.

00:23:08.560 --> 00:23:10.437
We start today
with opening arguments.

00:23:10.520 --> 00:23:11.555
Is the prosecution ready?

00:23:11.640 --> 00:23:12.789
Yes, Your Honor.

00:23:12.880 --> 00:23:13.756
JUDGE CURRAN: You may proceed.

00:23:13.840 --> 00:23:14.840
Thank you, Your Honor.

00:23:16.240 --> 00:23:18.834
Is there a greater crime
that a human being can commit

00:23:18.920 --> 00:23:20.433
than treason?

00:23:20.520 --> 00:23:23.956
As it is not a crime
against just one man,

00:23:24.040 --> 00:23:25.868
but a crime against
every man of this great nation?

00:23:25.880 --> 00:23:29.396
Therefore, it must be treated
with the utmost severity.

00:23:33.400 --> 00:23:35.311
Axis Sally.

00:23:35.400 --> 00:23:37.038
She went by other names too.

00:23:37.120 --> 00:23:38.793
"The Berlin Babe."

00:23:38.880 --> 00:23:40.712
"Hitler's girlfriend."

00:23:42.360 --> 00:23:43.953
We've all heard her broadcasts.

00:23:45.480 --> 00:23:48.120
Her relentless treasonous praise
of the German military,

00:23:48.200 --> 00:23:49.200
of Hitler himself.

00:23:49.280 --> 00:23:51.476
She was the voice of a man

00:23:51.560 --> 00:23:54.439
who claimed the lives
of over 400,000 American men.

00:23:57.840 --> 00:24:00.798
Now I can't stand here
before you and even predict

00:24:00.880 --> 00:24:02.228
what the defense
is going to argue,

00:24:02.240 --> 00:24:04.320
or if they even choose to
present an argument at all.

00:24:08.280 --> 00:24:12.069
But what I can do,
and what I will do,

00:24:12.160 --> 00:24:14.754
is prove to you
beyond a reasonable doubt

00:24:14.840 --> 00:24:19.118
that Mildred Gillars
is a traitor to our country.

00:24:19.200 --> 00:24:22.636
For years, Mildred Gillars
voluntarily utilized

00:24:22.720 --> 00:24:24.119
a German propaganda machine

00:24:24.200 --> 00:24:25.873
to weaken
the American war effort,

00:24:25.960 --> 00:24:28.349
and to destroy
the morale of our troops.

00:24:30.960 --> 00:24:33.713
Now if that does not personify

00:24:33.800 --> 00:24:36.189
the very definition
of the word 'treason'.

00:24:40.080 --> 00:24:41.400
I don't know what does.

00:24:43.520 --> 00:24:44.960

heard from Prosecutor Kelley

- Yes.
- And I was in the room.

- Yes.
- And there was a gun

I had lived in Germany
for five years

01:06:53.360 --> 01:06:55.397

01:07:35.000 --> 01:07:36.638
And I did what I could
to survive.

read from a script?

time and time again
in this trial

does not constitute
actual punishment.

witnesses on the stand

01:13:16.440 --> 01:13:19.512

were in fear for their lives,

do you have anything to add?

that just about sums it up.

a lot of witnesses.

It's personal.
Yes, I know.

01:20:22.360 --> 01:20:24.431
But would you answer
my question anyway?

01:20:27.360 --> 01:20:28.680
Yes, I loved him.

01:20:30.800 --> 01:20:33.519

01:20:38.440 --> 01:20:41.319

in Germany

01:20:42.960 --> 01:20:44.678

01:20:44.760 --> 01:20:46.990
have any influence on your life?

What do you mean by that?
Your destiny.

01:20:56.160 --> 01:20:59.516
Without the presence
of Prof. Koischwitz in my life,

01:20:59.600 --> 01:21:01.238

here today.

01:25:28.680 --> 01:25:29.954
Don't look prepared.

01:25:32.000 --> 01:25:33.354
See?

01:25:33.480 --> 01:25:38.554
Always carry what the
prosecution has against you.

01:25:38.640 --> 01:25:39.640
Let's see.

01:25:42.840 --> 01:25:43.840
Nothing.

(BIRDS CHIRPING)

01:26:03.840 --> 01:26:05.268
JOHN KELLEY: <i>Defense would have you believe</i>

01:26:05.280 --> 01:26:08.159
that Miss Gillars was a victim,

01:26:08.240 --> 01:26:12.837
but the evidence
suggests otherwise.

01:26:12.920 --> 01:26:16.675
Her friends were Nazis,
her fiancé was a Nazi,

01:26:16.760 --> 01:26:18.990
everyone around her. Nazis.

01:26:19.080 --> 01:26:21.196
She chose to be there.

01:26:21.320 --> 01:26:23.311
She felt they couldn't lose.

01:26:23.400 --> 01:26:24.595
She was on the right side,

01:26:24.680 --> 01:26:27.354
and all she cared about
was her own ambitions,

01:26:27.440 --> 01:26:30.034
her own selfish fame.

01:26:30.160 --> 01:26:31.160
And as time went on,

01:26:31.240 --> 01:26:35.029
she realized
that she had done wrong.

01:26:35.120 --> 01:26:39.159
So much so,
that when the war was finished,

01:26:39.240 --> 01:26:41.072
she went by a false name

01:26:41.160 --> 01:26:42.673
until we finally
tracked her down.

01:26:42.800 --> 01:26:46.156
Now, is that the behavior
of an innocent victim?

01:26:47.880 --> 01:26:50.394
Or of a lying,
opportunistic traitor?

01:26:52.800 --> 01:26:54.074
(EXHALES DEEPLY)

01:26:56.160 --> 01:26:59.312
What she did was
unnerve our soldiers,

01:26:59.440 --> 01:27:03.877
and brought aid and comfort
to our enemies.

01:27:03.960 --> 01:27:06.395
As far as the Constitution,

01:27:06.480 --> 01:27:09.393
that is the definition
of treason.

01:27:10.640 --> 01:27:14.634
I ask you...
I, uh, I beseech you...

01:27:14.720 --> 01:27:18.429
Find that woman guilty
of the heinous crimes

01:27:18.520 --> 01:27:21.558
that she perpetrated
against our great land.

01:27:31.080 --> 01:27:32.080
Okay.

01:27:33.800 --> 01:27:34.949
Yes.

01:27:36.520 --> 01:27:37.999
Ladies and gentlemen
of the jury,

01:27:38.080 --> 01:27:42.995
I'm gonna have to apologize
for the vague odor in the room

01:27:43.080 --> 01:27:45.594
that the prosecution left.

01:27:45.680 --> 01:27:48.479
Um, horse manure.
It'll go away.

01:27:50.880 --> 01:27:53.235
I didn't get the laughs
I expected.

01:27:53.320 --> 01:27:55.550
I never do.

01:27:55.640 --> 01:28:00.794
"Anyone who thinks,
must think of entering this war

01:28:00.920 --> 01:28:03.594
as they would of suicide."

01:28:03.680 --> 01:28:07.116
Eleanor Roosevelt said that.

01:28:07.200 --> 01:28:11.592
"Never think that this war,
no matter how justified,

01:28:11.720 --> 01:28:13.631
"is not a crime.

01:28:13.720 --> 01:28:16.792
Never think it's not a crime."

01:28:16.880 --> 01:28:19.633
And that is Ernest Hemingway.

01:28:23.400 --> 01:28:26.438
But neither of them
are being tried for treason.

01:28:26.520 --> 01:28:28.272
Why is that?

01:28:28.360 --> 01:28:33.070
Like Miss Gillars, they opposed
our involvement in the war.

01:28:33.200 --> 01:28:36.352
And like Miss Gillars,
they spoke out about it.

01:28:37.520 --> 01:28:38.919
But unlike Miss Gillars.

01:28:40.640 --> 01:28:42.756
Neither of them
had a gun to their head.

01:28:42.840 --> 01:28:44.911
And unlike Miss Gillars,

01:28:45.000 --> 01:28:50.632
their words were not spoon fed
to them by the Nazis.

01:28:50.760 --> 01:28:56.631
Miss Gillars is on trial
for eight counts of treason,

01:28:56.720 --> 01:29:00.793
for reading from a script
she did not write,

01:29:00.880 --> 01:29:05.431
saying words
she did not believe in,

01:29:05.520 --> 01:29:08.797
and being ordered
to say these words

01:29:08.880 --> 01:29:10.871
on penalty of death.

01:29:12.200 --> 01:29:16.398
And now this prosecution
would have her hanged.

01:29:16.480 --> 01:29:21.634
"Congress shall make no law

01:29:21.720 --> 01:29:25.953
abridging
the freedom of speech."

01:29:26.040 --> 01:29:29.431
I've heard that before.
That's the First Amendment.

01:29:32.400 --> 01:29:36.394
Mrs. Roosevelt,
Hemingway and all the others,

01:29:36.480 --> 01:29:38.278
they say what they said,

01:29:38.360 --> 01:29:42.797
and our American laws
protected them.

01:29:42.880 --> 01:29:45.190
Ladies and gentlemen
of the jury,

01:29:45.280 --> 01:29:47.749
you must understand.

01:29:47.840 --> 01:29:50.514
America is watching.

01:29:50.600 --> 01:29:55.549
The world is watching us,
all of us.

01:29:55.640 --> 01:29:58.758
If Miss Gillars is found guilty,

01:29:58.840 --> 01:30:02.595
freedom of speech
may no longer be our right.

01:30:02.680 --> 01:30:04.353
It will be a privilege,

01:30:04.440 --> 01:30:09.833
and a privilege can be revoked
at any time, for any reason.

01:30:09.920 --> 01:30:12.480
But let's be honest,
right now,

01:30:12.560 --> 01:30:17.270
Axis Sally was not a person.

01:30:17.360 --> 01:30:21.194
Axis Sally was a persona,

01:30:21.280 --> 01:30:26.229
a character that Miss Gillars
played on a radio show.

01:30:26.320 --> 01:30:28.709
And here's the long
and short of it.

01:30:28.800 --> 01:30:29.870
Nobody died.

01:30:32.280 --> 01:30:36.751
Not a single, solitary
American life was lost

01:30:36.840 --> 01:30:40.879
because of Miss Gillars'
radio broadcast, not one.

01:30:42.000 --> 01:30:43.115
That's a fact.

01:30:44.480 --> 01:30:49.077
On the other hand,
many a worried parent.

01:30:49.160 --> 01:30:53.916
American mothers, fathers.
They all got comfort,

01:30:54.000 --> 01:30:56.594
because they were hearing
about their sons' whereabouts

01:30:56.720 --> 01:30:59.473
through her radio programs.

01:30:59.560 --> 01:31:04.509
Millions listened to each
and every broadcast every week.

01:31:04.600 --> 01:31:09.071
Yet this unjustly maligned
and accused woman

01:31:09.160 --> 01:31:13.313
sits here today,
fighting for her life,

01:31:13.400 --> 01:31:16.074
even though there's not
a single shred of evidence,

01:31:16.160 --> 01:31:20.393
no evidence
that any of her broadcasts

01:31:20.480 --> 01:31:25.919
were harmful to this country,
or they in some way,

01:31:26.040 --> 01:31:30.352
undermined the morale
of our fighting soldiers.

01:31:30.440 --> 01:31:32.875
Oh, are you kidding?

01:31:32.960 --> 01:31:35.554
Our boys engaged
in the rigors of wars

01:31:35.640 --> 01:31:39.031
are not paying attention
to what Mildred Gillars,

01:31:39.120 --> 01:31:41.634
or Axis Sally,
says over a radio program.

01:31:41.720 --> 01:31:46.794
Some ridiculous song?
Did you hear the song?

01:31:46.880 --> 01:31:48.791
"Germany's beating you"
or something like that,

01:31:48.880 --> 01:31:52.111
whatever it was, something.
It was a silly jingle!

01:31:52.200 --> 01:31:54.919
A slapstick parody!

01:31:55.000 --> 01:31:57.514
Of course, they...
They found it ridiculous.

01:31:58.680 --> 01:32:00.034
They laugh and they mock it,

01:32:00.120 --> 01:32:02.430
and they write home
to their folks saying,

01:32:02.520 --> 01:32:04.830
"Did you hear what Axis Sally
said the other day?"

01:32:04.920 --> 01:32:07.514
Ha-ha-ha, it's a joke.

01:32:07.600 --> 01:32:09.193
You understand?
It's a joke.

01:32:11.360 --> 01:32:13.795
Of course, she did say things
we didn't like.

01:32:13.920 --> 01:32:15.672
Of course, she did.

01:32:15.800 --> 01:32:18.030
But that was the persona.

01:32:18.120 --> 01:32:21.954
That was Axis Sally.
It wasn't Mildred Gillars.

01:32:22.040 --> 01:32:27.911
Don't forget, that was a part
she was forced to play.

01:32:28.000 --> 01:32:32.039
Who is really responsible
for those words?

01:32:32.120 --> 01:32:37.399
It was the ugly propaganda
machine of the Third Reich,

01:32:37.480 --> 01:32:39.551
Goebbels' and Hitler's words,

01:32:39.640 --> 01:32:42.712
not Miss Mildred Gillars' words.
No.

01:32:43.880 --> 01:32:45.553
Let's just stop for a minute.

01:32:47.640 --> 01:32:50.154
And let's just take a look at
what's really going on here.

01:32:52.280 --> 01:32:55.432
Millions of lives were lost.

01:32:55.520 --> 01:32:57.909
Now, I don't know.

01:32:58.000 --> 01:33:02.915
I don't know if you can
win a war that cost so much.

01:33:03.000 --> 01:33:04.274
I don't know.

01:33:04.360 --> 01:33:07.716
But I do know that there isn't
a person in this room

01:33:07.800 --> 01:33:11.270
who wasn't affected
by this war, not a person.

01:33:14.200 --> 01:33:15.200
So what do we do?

01:33:17.800 --> 01:33:19.120
Some lost friends.

01:33:20.520 --> 01:33:22.716
Some lost whole families.

01:33:24.960 --> 01:33:28.669
Relatives, brothers, sons.

01:33:32.120 --> 01:33:33.315
My son.

01:33:40.760 --> 01:33:42.558
I'll read this for you.

01:33:43.800 --> 01:33:46.394
"If there is harm,"

01:33:49.800 --> 01:33:53.634
"then you shall pay
life for life."

01:33:55.480 --> 01:33:59.713
"An eye for an eye,
a tooth for tooth."

01:33:59.800 --> 01:34:02.679
We all know that.
We've heard it before.

01:34:02.760 --> 01:34:04.671
We want justice for this war.

01:34:06.000 --> 01:34:11.029
We want our enemies
to pay dearly

01:34:11.120 --> 01:34:14.556
for what they took from us.

01:34:14.640 --> 01:34:17.393
And we're not wrong
for wanting this.

01:34:17.480 --> 01:34:18.800
But we must pause.

01:34:20.720 --> 01:34:25.112
We must be vigilant
in where we point the finger.

01:34:25.200 --> 01:34:28.318
The woman who sits
in this chair here,

01:34:28.400 --> 01:34:31.074
is not your enemy.

01:34:31.160 --> 01:34:33.151
She never was.

01:34:33.240 --> 01:34:39.111
We cannot let our pain
for our loss, our feelings.

01:34:41.120 --> 01:34:43.430
Cloud our judgment.

01:34:43.520 --> 01:34:47.309
Confuse blind justice
with blind vengeance.

01:34:47.400 --> 01:34:52.634
I have to say.
This feels like vengeance.

01:34:55.000 --> 01:35:01.349
We must not sacrifice this woman
at the holy altar of patriotism,

01:35:01.440 --> 01:35:04.319
a patriotism,
which very easily

01:35:04.400 --> 01:35:08.758
could be covering up
a lynch mob!

01:35:12.720 --> 01:35:19.319
Then the tyranny which
we fought against for years

01:35:19.440 --> 01:35:20.794
will become us.

01:35:25.440 --> 01:35:26.669
Mildred Gillars.

01:35:28.280 --> 01:35:30.715
We saw her
during this whole trial.

01:35:30.800 --> 01:35:32.677
We know her.

01:35:32.760 --> 01:35:34.114
We heard her life story.

01:35:34.200 --> 01:35:35.640
We heard the little things
about her,

01:35:35.680 --> 01:35:37.751
the innuendos, et cetera.

01:35:37.840 --> 01:35:41.196
We heard the prosecution
hammering away,

01:35:41.280 --> 01:35:43.840
as he is won't to do.

01:35:43.920 --> 01:35:46.150
Being alone without a passport,

01:35:46.240 --> 01:35:49.153
foreign country,
no place to go.

01:35:49.240 --> 01:35:54.269
In a war zone, a war zone
that became her life.

01:35:54.360 --> 01:35:55.395
What do you do?

01:35:58.120 --> 01:36:01.875
What happens to someone
who has to live through that?

01:36:04.840 --> 01:36:09.676
Philosophers, psychiatrists,
from Plato to Freud, tell us,

01:36:09.760 --> 01:36:13.879
"Foremost among
our basic human instincts

01:36:13.960 --> 01:36:16.918
is the reflex to survive."

01:36:19.720 --> 01:36:22.314
That's what Mildred Gillars did.

01:36:22.400 --> 01:36:24.676
And that's all she did.

01:36:24.760 --> 01:36:27.070
Survive.

01:36:27.160 --> 01:36:29.629
Let me ask you,
what would you have done?

01:36:29.760 --> 01:36:31.273
Any one of you?

01:36:31.360 --> 01:36:33.431
Think about it.

01:36:33.520 --> 01:36:35.591
If you lived in fear,

01:36:35.680 --> 01:36:40.197
every single moment
of every single day,

01:36:40.280 --> 01:36:43.432
knowing that your life could end

01:36:43.520 --> 01:36:47.400
with a single bullet
to the head.

01:36:47.480 --> 01:36:48.480
What would you do?

01:36:51.520 --> 01:36:52.555
Or an oven?

01:36:54.320 --> 01:36:56.789
Picture yourself
in that situation.

01:36:56.880 --> 01:36:58.632
Imagine it.

01:36:58.720 --> 01:37:00.518
What would you have done

01:37:00.600 --> 01:37:03.513
with a gun, literally,
to your head?

01:37:03.600 --> 01:37:05.273
What would you have done?

01:37:05.360 --> 01:37:07.112
Because if you think
for one moment

01:37:07.200 --> 01:37:10.431
your choices would have been
different than hers.

01:37:11.880 --> 01:37:15.919
Well, I don't think
you'd be breathing right now.

01:37:17.240 --> 01:37:18.594
I just don't.

01:37:21.080 --> 01:37:24.118
Axis Sally, the persona,
is over,

01:37:24.200 --> 01:37:27.397
like the war is over.

01:37:27.480 --> 01:37:32.554
Mildred Gillars, the person,
the human being, is still here.

01:37:34.080 --> 01:37:39.917
A person who managed to beat
unthinkable odds to survive

01:37:40.040 --> 01:37:41.872
is here.

01:37:42.000 --> 01:37:44.469
Give Miss Gillars her life back,

01:37:44.560 --> 01:37:46.358
her freedom.

01:37:46.440 --> 01:37:49.080
She's an American.

01:37:49.160 --> 01:37:50.673
She always was an American.
