Appelant Froelich: "Well, here's a comparison, the one who..." Prosecutor: "...who limps in the sense that Buddhism is not a bad thing, while National Socialism is a very bad thing." Appelant Froelich: "...well, you couldn't have known..." Prosecutor: "So, if you'd been told to make the comparison better, if you wanted to keep your studios, you'd have to become a cannibal, then you would have become a cannibal?" Appelant Froelich: "... well, these are all things I can't say right now..." (crowd roars) If you think that National Socialism differs substantially from cannibalism, then keep this opinion here with you and you can present it elsewhere. Comment: "Not the words - the deeds decide." Totals on judge's table with standing court members and judges pronouncing the verdict (OT): "The main trial revealed that the Appellant's membership of the NSDAP was no more than nominal.

Ich bin ein Bürger, ein fetter Kerl - stößt mit dem Bauch gegen eine alte Dame, die hat es eilig – Fette und Alte sind zusammengestoßen worden – ich weiß nicht – das könnte Krieg bedeuten – Krieg! Krieg! Deutschland, England, Russland! Hans Söhnker als Joe und Gerty Soltau als Kitty sich unterhaltend am Tisch sitzend (OT): Hans Söhnker: Wovon träumen Sie, Kitty? Gerty Soltau: Ich träume von Zuhause – ich träume immer von Zuhause und ich hab‘ doch kein Zuhause, keine Wohnung. Wir haben in Ohio eine Farm gehabt, wir haben alles verloren, wir sind dann nach Chicago gegangen, wir haben da gearbeitet, dann ist Mama gestorben. Wovon ich träume - Ich träume von Zuhause. Franz Stein als Murphy in der Saloontür stehend und seinen Hut ziehend (OT): Ich heiße Murphy – ich bin ein alter Trapper – glaube kaum, dass Sie schon mal in eine Zwergin, die nur 39 Pfund wiegt, verliebt waren. Theodor Vogeler als Araber geht durch die Saloontür hinaus (OT): Keine Grundlage, auf der ganzen Linie keine – ganzes Leben Arbeit - alte Welt Arbeit, neue Welt Arbeit. Erwin Biegel als Polizist in der Saloontür stehend (OT): Die Welt ist doch so schön, wir könnten doch alles haben, warum streitet sich denn alles – wir sind eben alle verrückt! Franz Nicklisch als Tom (OT): Ich möchte so herumsitzen wie Du, Joe – jemand haben, der mir meine Besorgungen macht, Champagner trinken, sich über nichts aufregen, niemals Pleite sein und keine Geldsorgen haben. Warum machst Du das eigentlich? Hans Söhnker als Joe (OT): Ich studiere, Tom – ich studiere alles. Und wenn ich dabei etwas Schönes an einem Ort oder an einem Menschen finde, wo man eigentlich nur Hässlichkeit oder Tod vermuten sollte, so weiß ich, wie viel Güte in diesem Leben steckt und es tut wohl, das zu wissen. Ich werde immer bestrebt sein, diese Wahrheit bestätigt zu finden. 0:17:02 Abspann

Appelant Froelich: "Well, here's a comparison, the one who..." Prosecutor: "...who limps in the sense that Buddhism is not a bad thing, while National Socialism is a very bad thing." Appelant Froelich: "...well, you couldn't have known..." Prosecutor: "So, if you'd been told to make the comparison better, if you wanted to keep your studios, you'd have to become a cannibal, then you would have become a cannibal?" Appelant Froelich: "... well, these are all things I can't say right now..."

Comment: "Not the words - the deeds decide." Totals on judge's table with standing court members and judges pronouncing the verdict (OT): "The main trial revealed that the Appellant's membership of the NSDAP was no more than nominal.
