00:00:01.169 --> 00:00:04.710
What happened to Sadie Einstein? In 1960, when

00:00:04.710 --> 00:00:06.730
Kaiser Adolf was being interrogated by law enforcement

00:00:06.730 --> 00:00:08.789
and intelligence in Italy, he diligently repeated

00:00:08.789 --> 00:00:10.349
the truth of events that occurred whilst he was

00:00:10.349 --> 00:00:12.089
in prisoner of war jail every day, regardless

00:00:12.089 --> 00:00:13.669
of what the people interviewing him wanted to

00:00:13.669 --> 00:00:16.929
hear. The staff at the jail had regularly left

00:00:16.929 --> 00:00:18.750
pregnant Sadie alone with Kaiser Adolf in the

00:00:18.750 --> 00:00:20.550
train station building as if it was forced engagement

00:00:20.550 --> 00:00:23.250
time. Him chained up in the cell and her in her

00:00:23.250 --> 00:00:26.379
apartment outside the bars. They were basically

00:00:26.379 --> 00:00:28.019
waiting for him to initiate a chat with her,

00:00:28.059 --> 00:00:29.600
as if he had decided they should discuss the

00:00:29.600 --> 00:00:31.260
child becoming the next Kaiser of Germany to

00:00:31.260 --> 00:00:32.700
be when it was born, and they needed to negotiate

00:00:32.700 --> 00:00:35.799
plans for when it was taken to Germany. She sat

00:00:35.799 --> 00:00:38.840
waiting. He ignored her. She often busied herself

00:00:38.840 --> 00:00:40.600
scurrying around making plans, as if she was

00:00:40.600 --> 00:00:42.079
becoming the equivalent of Queen of Germany.

00:00:42.640 --> 00:00:44.340
Including notes on what she thought she would

00:00:44.340 --> 00:00:47.539
need. Kaiser Adolf repeatedly reiterated to Italian

00:00:47.539 --> 00:00:49.399
intelligence that Sadie self -aborted the illegally

00:00:49.399 --> 00:00:51.539
bred, deliberately inbred, and ineligible child,

00:00:51.659 --> 00:00:53.179
with a knitting needle, just out of reach of

00:00:53.179 --> 00:00:55.439
him through the cell bars. She then lied and

00:00:55.439 --> 00:00:57.200
said it had incidentally aborted whilst the staff

00:00:57.200 --> 00:00:59.460
of the jail were gone. It caused film cameras

00:00:59.460 --> 00:01:01.380
to be installed in the building and used by staff

00:01:01.380 --> 00:01:04.500
as security cameras afterwards. The Italian authorities

00:01:04.500 --> 00:01:06.519
involved decided to send a squad to Yugoslavia

00:01:06.519 --> 00:01:08.239
and try to get Sadie's version of the events.

00:01:08.760 --> 00:01:10.439
As if the Kaiser may have been lying for his

00:01:10.439 --> 00:01:12.959
own convenience in some way. Some of them expected

00:01:12.959 --> 00:01:15.099
tales of the baby being around 14 when he escaped

00:01:15.099 --> 00:01:17.579
and what it looked like. Details about the child

00:01:17.579 --> 00:01:19.420
after it was born and why it hadn't been taken

00:01:19.420 --> 00:01:22.409
to Germany yet were all they wanted. They decided

00:01:22.409 --> 00:01:23.810
to send their Foreign Legion of Intelligence

00:01:23.810 --> 00:01:26.390
officers to check it out. Italy has a French

00:01:26.390 --> 00:01:28.030
Foreign Legion -style body full of foreigners

00:01:28.030 --> 00:01:30.510
who are intelligence agents for Italy. They headed

00:01:30.510 --> 00:01:33.530
to Yugoslavia and tracked her down. Whilst being

00:01:33.530 --> 00:01:35.629
interviewed in 1960, Sadie admitted the child

00:01:35.629 --> 00:01:38.849
aborted in April 1944 and never got born. It

00:01:38.849 --> 00:01:40.629
was the first time anyone had ever admitted that

00:01:40.629 --> 00:01:42.269
fact to anyone outside of the jail residents

00:01:42.269 --> 00:01:44.269
and staff since the baby was conceived illegally

00:01:44.269 --> 00:01:47.890
in 1944. She then delivered a carefully rehearsed

00:01:47.890 --> 00:01:50.359
spiel. it was about why they decided not to tell

00:01:50.359 --> 00:01:52.000
anyone that was waiting for her to arrive in

00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:53.859
germany with it sometime immediately after november

00:01:53.859 --> 00:01:56.920
1944 that it never got born with her head waving

00:01:56.920 --> 00:01:58.659
from side to side and a bundle of mumbled and

00:01:58.659 --> 00:02:01.599
muttered excuses carefully rehearsed in his conciliatory

00:02:01.599 --> 00:02:04.659
a you understand tone as she could manage some

00:02:04.659 --> 00:02:06.200
of the intelligence agents that were interviewing

00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:07.920
her wanted to hear her say something like oh

00:02:07.920 --> 00:02:11.340
yeah sure he's out the back i'll go get him and

00:02:11.340 --> 00:02:14.159
introduce him to you they decided to execute

00:02:14.159 --> 00:02:16.520
her at the end of the interview They then made

00:02:16.520 --> 00:02:18.360
sure her remains were in unrecognizably small

00:02:18.360 --> 00:02:20.780
pieces. She was buried in someone's backyard.

00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:23.300
It was probably deceased prison governor Joe

00:02:23.300 --> 00:02:26.099
Riewoldt's backyard. The Italian Foreign Legion

00:02:26.099 --> 00:02:28.000
-like intelligence agents sent word back to Italy

00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:29.800
that everything Kaiser Adolf said was completely

00:02:29.800 --> 00:02:32.639
true and that Sadie had been executed. They never

00:02:32.639 --> 00:02:34.139
returned to Italy from their assignment at the

00:02:34.139 --> 00:02:36.120
time, choosing to go elsewhere after it was completed.

00:02:36.680 --> 00:02:38.939
Probably partly to avoid recriminations in Italy

00:02:38.939 --> 00:02:41.780
and Europe. As for those security cameras...

00:02:42.219 --> 00:02:44.180
They diligently got turned on for fresh recordings

00:02:44.180 --> 00:02:46.759
every day by the jail staff. It became routine.

00:02:47.539 --> 00:02:49.520
Reels of film of Kaiser Adolf being held prisoner

00:02:49.520 --> 00:02:51.560
was later used for a pirate, unofficial, television

00:02:51.560 --> 00:02:54.139
program, broadcast in some countries in the 1950s.

00:02:54.860 --> 00:02:56.979
It was called the Kaiser Adolf Hitler held prisoner

00:02:56.979 --> 00:02:59.360
chained up in the train station show. With the

00:02:59.360 --> 00:03:01.979
same intro for every episode. Where it was broadcast

00:03:01.979 --> 00:03:03.979
when television was completely unregulated is

00:03:03.979 --> 00:03:05.500
something I do not know the full facts about.

00:03:06.099 --> 00:03:08.159
North and Central America is probably a safe

00:03:08.159 --> 00:03:08.379
guess.
