"First Lady" Eva Blaun made another hit with a light tone: "The premiere of "National Glory: The Battle" was set on November 9 by the Head of State."

"Ah, the anniversary of the 'Crystal Night'." Female director Leni Rivenstale reacted naturally, and there was no trace of strangeness at all.

The Night of Broken Glass, also translated as "Empire Crystal Night", "Crystal Transparent Night", "Broken Glass Night", "National Glass Window Night", "National Persecution", etc., refer to the incidents of Hitler Youth League, Gestapo and SS attacking Jews in Germany and Austria from the early morning of November 9 to 10, 1938. The "Crystal Night" incident marked the beginning of the Nazi organized massacre of Jews.

The title was once considered a cynical and moral issue by some in Germany. In fact, the violence was not limited to Jewish property. It was initiated by Nazi leaders, but was carried out locally and regionally by the party's paramilitary organizations and other Germans. The glass was destroyed alone that night, the losses reached 6 million marks. Its value was equivalent to the total value of Belgium's production of glass in half a year. The Nazi atrocities led to the destruction of about 7,500 Jewish enterprises and more than 1,200 synagogues. About 1,000 to 2,000 German Jews were murdered, and 30,000 kidnapped. The violence forced thousands of German Jews to flee their homes.

The "Crystal Night" incident quickly spread to all over the world. The United States recalled the ambassador to Germany for this incident, and governments of many countries also chose to break diplomatic relations with Germany in protest. The New York Times and other media created a new term for the incident "anti-Semitism". On the third day after the "Crystal Night" incident, on November 12, 1938, several ministers of Nazi Germany formulated measures to deprive Jews of dignity and rights under the convening of the second-person Gorene of the Nazis. The specific contents include: forcing the Jews to clean up the burned churches and build them into parking lots for Germans to use; forcing each Jew to wear an insulting mark with the letter "J"; and even forcing the persecuted Jews to compensate the Nazis with 1 billion marks of marks. These measures put the lives of Jews in a desperate situation.

In September 1939, Nazi Germany invaded Poland and killed Jews in large numbers. In the spring of 1941, while the Nazi leader was planning an attack on the Soviet Union, he was also planning a genocide of Jews. This task was planned to be completed by the SS security department and a special operation team organized by the secret police. On January 2, 1942, in a villa next to Wanhu Lake in Berlin, Nazi secret police chief Heidrich convened senior officials from 14 departments, including Gestapo chief Muller, to study and arrange a plan to massacre Jews. The meeting passed the "final solution" solution, which is to turn Jews.

The Tai people were transported to the East to work, "most of them will undoubtedly be eliminated through natural reduction", "The last part of the people who remained the strongest resistance must be dealt with in accordance with the corresponding way." After the "Wanhu Conference", the Nazis began to fully implement this huge murder plan, and there was a hell of using gas chambers and crematoriums to massacre Jews, like the Auschwitz concentration camp. According to the later confession of Eichmann, a senior Nazi official responsible for the search and elimination of Jews, at that time, more than 4 million people died in the extermination camp, and 2 million people were killed in other ways. And the vast majority were Jews.

November 9, 1938, not only commemorated the beginning of the Nazi atrocities, but also commemorated the beginning of the Jewish massacre in Europe. 51 years later, in 1989, also on November 9, the Berlin Wall collapsed. But because of the "shame" of "Crystal Night", the German government set the anniversary of the Unification Day on October 3 of each year.

I was very careful to observe the reaction of female director Leni Rifenstaer. "First Lady" Eva Blaun was completely at ease: "Leni, we don't know politics. I believe that no one, including the head of state, can understand better than you. Leaving professional things to professionals is the key to the invincible success of the Imperial Chariot. A masterpiece is the Imperial Steel "The Victory of Will."

"It's all for the Head of State, Eva." Female director Leni Rivenstale made a sound.

"First Lady" Eva Blaun was so excited that he couldn't do anything to himself: "It's all for the Head of State, Leni."

"So, tell me about the Italians." After talking about the movie, female director Leni Rivenstale asked about the current situation again.

Referring to the real history, when the Allied landing in Sicily in July 1943 forced Mussolini's fascist government to collapse, the new government composed of Pietro Badoglio immediately began secret negotiations with the United States and Britain. However, due to the bargaining of whether to "unconditional surrender" and repeated delays, Hitler had enough time for the Italian battle to strengthen his troops in Italy. In early August, Rommel led his troops across the border and entered northern Italy to support the eight German divisions stationed in Marshal Kesselin in southern Italy.

After the Allied forces seized Sicily on August 17, 1943, they decided to continue to attack Italy. The ground attack forces were the 15th Army Group commanded by General Alexander of the United Kingdom, and the 8th British Army in Montgomery and the 5th American Army commanded by Clark.

On September 3, 1943, the Italian representative and the Allied representatives secretly signed an armistice agreement. In the early morning of the same day, the British 8th Army crossed the Strait of Messina from Sicily, landed on the Apennine Peninsula in Italy, and advanced rapidly towards southern Italy. On September 8, the Allied Commander U.S. General Eisenhower and the Italian Badoglio government respectively broadcast the armistice declaration, announcing Italy's unconditional surrender. From then on,

The German, Italian and Japanese fascist axis actually disintegrated. In the early morning of September 9, the 5th US Army, commanded by Clark, landed in the Bay of Salerno. Upon hearing the news, the German troops immediately disarmed 800,000 Italian troops, arrested a large number of Italian officers, and occupied Rome on September 10, controlling the Italian land to Naples. The Italian king and Bardoglio and others rushed to the Allied occupied area at the southern end by submarines.

On September 13, 1943, Hitler sent SS commandos to rescue Mussolini, who was imprisoned at the Grand Sasso Mountain Top Hotel. Then, with the support of Hitler, Mussolini established a puppet government of the "Italian Social Republic" in northern Italy to confront the Bardoglio government.

On October 13, 1943, the Bardoglio government officially withdrew from the Axis. The collapse of Mussolini and the unconditional surrender of the Bardoglio government and declared war on Germany marked the disintegration of the Berlin-Roman axis and was a major victory of the anti-fascist alliance.
