Power: The ultimate aphrodisiac.

“ You can live a wonderful life in Germany..” famous last words.

Wow "In April 1945, however, Lída Baarová left Prague for Germany again. On the way, she was taken into custody by the American military police, imprisoned in Munich, and later extradited to Czechoslovakia. In Czechoslovakia in 1945, Baarová and her family were taken into custody on suspicion of collaboration with the Germans during the war. Her mother died under interrogation; her sister Zorka committed suicide in 1946"

A few things come to mind. Her claims of being naive and innocent are a stretch that cannot be believed. She had already been in the film industry for several years and the centre of plenty of attention when this particular liaison developed. Her innocence was only in not knowing what the Nazis would later do. No one did. The Nazi regime's later extreme actions had not yet occurred and Europe was still at peace so this amounts to a powerful/influential man hooking up with an ambitious actress. Nothing unusual about that.

Fascinating story. She was a young woman who caught the eye of two of the most powerful men in the world. One of those men would have given up everything just to be with her. She was flirting with these men because it was exhilarating but it was like flying close to the sun and risking being burned to death at any moment. She didn’t want to get hurt or hurt anybody else but, for a while, it was the thrill of a lifetime. What is also interesting is that someone’s wife would take her marital problem to Hitler looking for help and she got it.

A person with low self esteem cant accomplish so much even in professional life like a person who has confidence and whos always banging someone🤷🏻‍♂️ But of course not everybody is the same. And its pretty predictable that those evil nazis would like some good looking women, they loved power, and poweful ppl enjoy that, having women is a kind of power too. Just imagine, a dictator or person of power could be easily made fun of by not having this desire, its like they are without manhood.

Hitler was very much all about appearances... while he certainly didn't have any problems with having "action on the side" behind closed doors and out of public sight, he insisted on himself and his inner circle presenting a very carefully crafted and spotless image to the public at large. Hitler himself is said to have had an illicit romance with his own niece, Geli Rabaul, and that she eventually killed herself in part because it had to remain secret and she could never get the attention and recognition from Hitler she wanted and needed. Hitler's romance with Eva Braun was absolutely the same way. Hitler told her point blank he was "married to Germany" and couldn't be seen as having a wife or girlfriend in public, and Eva Braun basically decided she could life with that, though it weighed heavily on her and she halfhearted attempted suicide a couple of times at least, in desperate attempts to get Hitler's attention and affection more than out of any desire to end herself. Hitler's carefully crafted public image, and his need for his inner circle to present the same sort of public image, of the wholesome family centered ideal which Hitler and the Party had carefully crafted not only for appearance's sake but as a national ambition or ideal, a goal for all of society to emulate... to have a very public abandonment of that image with one of Hitler's inner circle abandoning and divorcing his wife and six children and leaving his post to take up with some film starlet, it was simply unthinkable! Magda Goebbels knew this perfectly well, even if her husband was thinking with the wrong head, she knew that Hitler would absolutely knock some sense into him. Goebbels was such a sycophant of Hitler that once Hitler finally "laid down the law" that would be the end of it. Even if Goebbels had "gone off the rails" and defied Hitler and attempted to quit, divorce Magda, and run off with his starlet, I wouldn't put it past Hitler to have him "dealt with" rather than have a big public mess that would taint his image and that of the "national socialist ideal" of motherhood, family, etc. Later! OL J R :)

Really neat to hear someone speak about that time period who was there! I enjoyed this film as well, thanks!

She plays the innocent one but knew very well what she was doing. This is an age old story of a woman wanting to be desired by the most powerful, and conveniently overlooking the minor details of another woman, kids, careers etc. Still rings true with modern women of today.

Someone said it was nice in the comments, how could she laugh by the lake with swans, with such a sick person. The biggest humiliation was the meeting with his wife, she made it clear who and what she was, "outside my house, I don't care what happens."

She is a very beautiful sincere and intelligent woman!

A GOOD STORY TELLER , SHE IS STILL ACTING.

Wife didn't turn out to be so nice to their children.

To think she met Hitler and Gobbles and heard them argue

Hitler: You can live a wonderful life in Germany. Pay no attention to the 1,000 B-17's flying overhead

Oh Lida Lida Lida! How much you left out. Tsk tsk. Of course all of the info you kept quiet would have made you look very bad! Eye rolling my way through this interview.

There is a good film that talks about this topic

This love story made me cry.

Because it doesn't fit in with your narrow worldview? Lol

Give her a break…She was dealing with people who could murder her at any time with no consequences. What could a 23 year old do against such power? Most people would silently do the same through fear.

Incredibly fascinating story. Such frankness and honesty is astounding. This woman admits to her youthful human frailties in clear and precise language. She also reveals that even the most powerful in the Nazi reality could succumb to their own passions and desires. The wife tattling to Hitler was also incredibly human. She had a huge brood to care for and was probably in a state of complete internal panic about her fate. If I could, I would give this woman a huge hug, as you can still see the pain all of this caused her all these years later. Fleeing for one’s life is a very traumatic event. Thank you so much for finding this dear soul and interviewing her. Liked and subscribed.

I should like to say that I appreciate (belatedly) your comment about this woman's spellbinding story. So many comments here I find surprising in their assertions that she "knew exactly what she was doing." I agree that she was undoubtedly responsible for engaging in flirtation and basking in admiration, but most young women (and men) do this, if given the chance, because it is a natural part of being young and eager to experience life. It is difficult to believe that anyone judging her as "bad" has never done something egocentrically foolish in youth. It just happens that her youthful folly was within the context of extremely significant historical persons and events. At 41:40 she admits that tolerating Goebbels was "probably not right," but if she had not tolerated him, what might have happened then?

She lost most of her film career as a result but I'm not sure she told us the full story. She wasn't as naive as she is suggesting she was. She was living with an actor . She has glossed over any intimate details. Almost as if the r/ship wasn't intimate physically. But it was....' What does he want from me' is a bit comical. He wanted what men want!!! She knew that. As long as she left her life was safe. Btw, Magda Goebbels actually wanted a divorce!!! As she was in love with someone else herself. A member of Goebbels staff. All this infuriated Hitler. They were ALL misbehaving. As acting First Family. the Goebbels could NOT be divorced in Nazi Germany.

Let's not forget that everything happened before the war. During the war she lived in Prague and after the war she was imprisoned for 1.5 years, even though she helped so many people and nothing was proved against her. Her mother died during post-war interrogation, her father became a cripple when he tried to rescue her from prison. Her sister was booted out of the theater after the war and committed suicide. The family villa was half stolen by the communists after the 1948 coup and then completely stolen years later.

Can you imagine being in the room with an angrier than usual Hitler and he points to you and says, “this bitch has gotta go!” And I believe her. Tf could she do about him being so smitten?! She definitely had to play that carefully cuz had he gotten offended…..

It's interesting that she left out the part where in 1945, she left Prague for Germany again. And on the way, she was arrested by the American Military Police, then imprisoned in Munich, and later extradited back to Czechoslovakia. She didn't seem too upset after the facts later came out detailing how murderous animals they all were, including Goebbel's wife, who took her children into Hitler's bunker and killed them, then herself.

As with many women, more so of the time, but still today, they will sleep with powerful men, to further their career.....You can't blame her for that.... Marilyn Monroe, Amanda Holden.... (Not quite in the same league,, though). I'm not saying having an affair is the right or good thing to do..... but both parties consented....that's up to them. She did say it was Goebbels, that did the chasing.... so to speak. If she had any part in, the work the Germans were doing, wouldn't she have been on trial, at Nuremberg? (If she was and got away with it by batting her eyelids... im sorry...I didn't know.... I'm only going on what I see in the video). Maybe Patricia, you could enlighten me ...us.... more as to what exactly went on. I have to say.....

Mr. Right, Adolph Eichmann was the architect of the Nazi's Final Solution that exterminated the Jews. 2 out of every 3 European Jews were killed. Only in the last decade has world Jewry reached pre WW2 numbers. Films of his trial are readily available and The Holocaust Museum's Archives are a treasure trove. I grew up the only shiksa in a predominantly Jewish neighborhood where sleeves on blouses and shirts riding up arms revealed tattoos from the camps. Shalom and best wishes for your success and good health. Pat
