Reichsführer SS“ Heinrich Himmler im Rathaus von Posen im deutsch besetzten Polen eine mehr als dreistündige Geheimrede vor fast 1. Führern (Generälen) der SS. In Karmakars Film liest der Schauspieler Manfred Zapatka die Rede mit allen Versprechern, die Karmakar aus der Aufnahme der Rede herausgearbeitet hat. Himmler stellt zunächst die Lage für das Deutsche Reich im fünften Kriegsjahr aus seiner Sicht dar. Dabei propagiert er die baldige Erschöpfung der Kriegsgegner Deutschlands; das Auseinanderbrechen der Anti- Hitler- Koalition sei absehbar und ein deutscher Sieg stehe für ihn außer Frage. Es folgt eine Darstellung der internen Organisation und Moral der SS. Himmlers gesamter Redetext ist durchzogen von der NS- Rassenideologie, er ist insbesondere von der Minderwertigkeit des slawischen Untermenschen überzeugt und schwört seine hochrangigen Mitwisser und Mittäter des Holocaust auf die Notwendigkeit der Vernichtung des Judentums ein. Zapatka spricht den Text ohne erkennbare Emotion, ohne Kostüm, vor einer grauen Wand sitzend. Die Abschrift der Rede wurde bei mehreren NS- Prozessen nach dem Kriege als Beweismaterial verwendet.
