All Steps Necessary

Synopsis: Inspired by a true incident. On November 12, 1938, two days after "Kristallnacht" Field Marshall Hermann G�ring, second in command to Hitler, calls a meeting of the Nazi elite. For two hours as they drink coffee, eat pastries, and vie for power in the Third Reich, G�ring, the Minister of Propaganda Dr. Josef Paul Goebbels, SS Grupenfuhrer Reinhard Heydrich, Foreign Minister Ernst Woermann, Minister of Economics Walther Funk and Austrian Minister of Economics Hans Fishboeck plan on how to remove Jews from all aspects of German life and leave them destitute. As the meeting progresses, a battle of personalities and power breaks out between G�ring, Goebbels and Heydrich.
