Just watched the film Nuremberg. Russell Crowe great as always, based on an interesting back story.
The psychiatrist Kelley ended up in a very bad way personally and psychologically. He killed himself in 1958 in a particularly situation that was particularly horrible.
I was struck by the clip where, on a radio show, and already drinking heavily, he is forcefully raising the alarm that fascism is endemic, evil is in us all, Nazis are here!
Reminds me of the ending of 1956 film ‘Invasion of the Body Snatchers’ where the protagonist rushes onto a busy highway screaming “they’re here, they’re here…”. At the time this was read by some reviewers as a reference to the widespread propaganda that communists had infiltrated US society (it was the McCarthy era after all).
So fascists AND communists!!! Hardly any room left for Americans!
(Mind you, not so far off about Fascists. Have also just read ‘Numero Zero’ by Umberto Eco where he writes about ‘Operation Gladio’, a post-war NATO/CIA orchestrated project to maintain organised networks of fascist ‘stay behinds’. Who knew? I didn’t! Chilling stuff. And no wonder we are fucked …)
