resembled each other.
Karl's younger brother, Werner,
didn't know that Stirlitz had got him
released from the camp
where he had been thrown
on a denunciation.
It was 8 years ago...
Since then he'd been living alone,
because his wife had left him
the next day after his arrest...
Who's that??
Kaltenbrunner.
Does he also have bad kidneys?
Yes, he was Pleischner's patient
for a long time.
For some reason Stirlitz suddenly
remembered
Gedrich's funeral in 1942,
the man Kaltenbrunner had
succeeded at his post.
The funeral was solemn.
The Fuhrer himself came.
This gesture...
This gesture, precisely repeated
by Kaltenbrunner,
reminded him of the events of 1942.
"They all want to be like
the Fuhrer,"
thought Stirlitz.
Shall we go?
Yes.
Do you have bad kidneys?
- Sorry?
- Was he also your doctor?
Unfortunately.
Who will treat us now?
I don't know.
Yes.

Information to be pondered over.
Himmler.
The Reichsfuhrer of the SS,
responsible for the realization
of Hitler's racial theory.
Honored Doctor of Archaeology.
Married. Has a daughter.
Has a high-school education.
"Only one principle should exist
for the SS member.
We should be honest, decent and loyal
only towards
the representatives
of our race.
Whether other peoples
flourish,
or die from hunger
interests me
only because we need them
as the slaves of our culture."
Himmler.
Himmler started as the pupil of Strasser,
the ideologist of Nazism.
It was Himmler who took part
in the execution of his teacher,
after the latter had quarreled
with Hitler.
But that treachery didn't help Himmler.
People looked askance at him.
In Berlin he was regarded
as Strasser's man.
That was why he was appointed
the chief of the Munich
criminal police,
a very humiliating position.
The other person would've
given way to despair,
but Himmler was a man of action.
He started to create first
concentration camps in Germany.
Once Gцring wondered
if such practice could push away
Paris and London.
"Never," answered Himmler.
"Our concentration camps
are humane instruments to save
the enemies of national-socialism.
If we don't put them in camps,
there will be a mob law.
In such way, they'll be
completely reformed
and realize our rightness".
For his successful work
in the creation of death camps,
the Reichsfuhrer of the SS Himmler,
by the Fuhrer's order,
was appointed Vice-Minister
of Internal Affairs.
For the first time
he was not in Hitler's suite.
He was near Hitler himself.
He made the next step
in the hierarchical ladder of Nazism.
Having returned to Berlin,
Himmler, together with his assistants
and the SS HQ chiefs
Karl Wolf and Gedrich,
started to collect information
on his friends and enemies.
On Ley,
Gцring,
Hess.
He started to appear more often
at the Nuremburg party congresses
together with the Fuhrer.
But he was not
among the favored ones.
He was not
one of the Reich chiefs.
He only guarded
the Fuhrer's life.
Only when Himmler staged
an attempt upon Hitler's life
during his travel around Berlin,
only when he shielded him
from the blank bullet,
only then Himmler became
Hitler's kindred brother,
as he himself put it.
Where did you come from?
Who is your master, honey?
So I think
I should feed you.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Come in.
I'll bring you something here.
Information to be pondered over
(cont.)
Himmler.
Himmler made his promotion
not at the battlefields
and even not due to the organization
of the concentration camps
in the USSR,
Poland, Yugoslavia, Hungary.
That work didn't surprise
anybody anymore.
"The great organizer
of the cleansing terror," -
said the Fuhrer about Himmler.
Himmler had reached
his greatest advancement
after the generals' attempt
upon Hitler's life.
After that Himmler became a hero,
the man who had exposed the plot.
Hitler awarded him and called him
the most courageous Arian.
He delegated to him coming
