so, you never heard of him.
do you know who arturo toscanini is?
he's as big as toscanini, maybe even bigger. in this neck of the woods, he's probably bob hope and betty grable rolled into one.
you were in insurance before the war.
conscientious, determined, dogged.
well, they say here that when you went on a case, you stayed on it. now we can't take every nazi in this country to trial, although i would like to; it's an impossibility. so we're going for the big boys in industry, education, law, culture.
well, he's more than just a bandleader, steve. he's a great conductor, a gifted artist. but we believe that he sold himself to the devil. your number one priority from this moment on is to connect him to the nazi party. don't be impressed by him. i want the folks back home to understand why we fought this war. find wilhelm furtwngler guilty. he represents everything that was rotten in germany.
stay put, steve. there is some other stuff that i'd like for you to see here. background.
oh, one thing that may be a problem. our occupation authorities in wiesbaden have a duty to help these poor unfortunates with their defence. they keep repeating: 'we must be just, we must be seen to be just.' well, i've only one thing to say to the liberals in wiesbaden: fuck 'em. you answer to no one but me. is that understood? show him the film.
next reel, please.
