Description: In this scene SS Reichsfurer Himmler and his aide Walter Schellenberg discuss what will be the source of the intrigue in the successful television series, a conspiracy of Himmler and other leading Nazis to strike a separate peace with the Americans, lead by future CIA chief Allen Dulles. However, the scene also reminded Russians of a time when they were close allies of the Americans, and resurrected on screen the long denied figure of Joseph Stalin.
