This 1943 U.S. Army Air Forces training film demonstrates psychological approaches, methods and interrogation techniques employed by air intelligence officers in extracting military information from captured enemy airmen during World War 2. The film shows interviews with captured German, Italian and Japanese pilots to illustrate the importance of pre-knowledge of the prisoner's history, culture, customs, ideology, superstitions and language. We can see how each interrogator's approach is modified for the typical national characteristics of captured pilots and aircrew, while still being aware of each individual's personality and how it could be exploited. The film emphasizes the importance of preparing for the interview by examining the intelligence reports and the prisoner's personal belongings.
HISTORICAL BACKGROUND / CONTEXT
Intelligence-gathering is by its very nature secretive. It involves putting together pieces of a puzzle that don’t always fit. In fact, it quite often involves putting together pieces of a puzzle that are not meant to fit. Sometimes the information is naive, other times deliberately misleading; sometimes the information is insufficient, other times so abundant it becomes contradictory. Perhaps most frustratingly of all, the intelligence officer never knows what the story is supposed to look like. He has only his instinct and training to predict just what it is exactly that the enemy is planning.
But if intelligence is the meal, then interrogation is the after-meal drink. It is a world of shady characters with hazy experiences. The information gathered from a captured enemy is always suspect: how does the interrogator know when the prisoner is telling the truth? How does the interrogator know when the enemy is truly devoid of information? When he is spitting out half-truths? Even if he is sincere and forthright about his knowledge, is he correct? Is his information accurate? Interrogation is incurably untrustworthy-but it is still vital.
There is an added degree of difficulty for the interrogator operating in wartime. He is forced to work with an additional sense of urgency he is unburdened with in a peaceful environment. He must supply his superior with the necessary information in a timely manner. His effectiveness can often quite literally mean the difference between life and death for his fellow soldiers-and he knows it. Quickly providing his military commander with clear and accurate information can-and indeed has-influenced the outcome of decisive battles.
There are three classifications that methods used in interrogation fall into: psychological, physical and mental coercion, and torture. Psychological interrogation is completely legal under international law and is widely accepted and practiced in the international community. It refers to attempts to gather information by simply talking to the prisoner. The interrogator may outsmart and deceive the prisoner but there is never any physical contact involved and the prisoner is never in any pain.
In the Atlantic Monthly last year, journalist Mark Bowden listed the methods involved in mental and physical coercion, a category that is informally referred to as ‘torture-lite’. “These include sleep deprivation, exposure to heat or cold, the use of drugs to cause confusion, rough treatment (slapping, shoving or shaking), forcing a prisoner to stand for days at a time or to sit in uncomfortable positions, and playing on fears of himself and his family”, he wrote. The distinction between torture and mental/physical coercion, Bowden felt, was that “although excruciating for the victim, these tactics generally leave no permanent marks and do no physical harm”. The Geneva Conventions, he added, make no such distinction. Both the 1929 Conventions and their expanded 1949 counterpart explicitly prohibit any type of interrogation more intense than the psychological approach outlined above.

They forgot to show how to drown suspicious in foreign bases - in Poland there was a base with special small bar solitude wide only for one human. In case you came here how to learn how to be interrogated - then do not respond to any question, trick them with showing youre hungry or thirsty, eat when given and try to look ill and weak
"Now the Italian soldier is a bit different than a German or a Japanese one. With these fellas, you'll have to tell them to stop talking or you won't have time to get to the rest of your interrogations."
"With the Italian soldier, to get them to stop talking, all you have to do is grab their hands"
"I killed my Tommie for God, King and Country. I'm well out of it now." Italian soldier captured at El Alamein. Seems reasonable to me.
I like Italian food . Therefore, I would have started getting their mother's recipes as soon as possible ! Then, it would be off the kitchen for them .
Exactly why they quarantined that Italian Officer.
3 days without anyone to converse to is probably as hell to him as starving him for 3 days.
How did you come out with this bs you a wee nerdo, the food reflects high quality of life and ok to make a joke about it, don't forget the weapons and the manufacturer made in Italy, wee keyboard warrior
"What if the prisoner just doesn't say anything?"
"Well that's in another video, called 'Advanced Interrogation Techniques.' Unfortunately it's classified from the general public"
Advanced Interrogation Techniques are the best way to get the prisoner to start lying and telling bs.
Fingernail torture
@@underarmbowlingincidentof1981 True. Pain doesn't work worth a shit, and you've lost the game the instant you make the prisoner angry. The trick is to keep him scared and curious at the same time.
I was a US army Interrogator. I interrogated Taliban and other captured combatants and suspected combatants. Many of the technics taught here remains the same. Although many no longer apply. Especially about not feeding them. Not feeding them will get you into whole lotta trouble. Also like it teaches here; there are many different methods of getting intel. But in my experience; the most reliable and efficient method was by treating them like a human being and kindness. Most Taliban and other fighters are told that Americans will torture them. Because of this they are surprised of the humane treatment we provide and realizes that they have bean lied to so generally they become willing to talk. Other times we play up their fear. Most of them are afraid of never seeing their family and getting sent to Guantanamo, Cuba. They call it the devils island where no one returns from.
Thank you very much, and may God be with you and your comrades. I too would go, but I was born unable to walk.
see Sherwood F Moran 1943 memo re Jpn PoWs adumbrating exactly what you say
I was in the corp back in the day, I just remember the 5 "S" and T segregation, silence, safe guard, speed, something else and tag the prisoners, funny how after all these years the stuff's still the same
@Mike Smith
Yeah, that is the whole happy fun sadistic fantasy, that such an approach, apart from its effect on gleeful you, gets you anything useful or reliable. Would you take such intel as actionable? Why?
@Mike Smith
Ooh, this is so exciting! anal too! I bet you are typing with one hand.
Please, do go on. It is not every day that authorities get a murder confession on youtube, I bet. Tell all! Including more about yourself.
"I'll send you to the Poles" is actually a pretty spectacular threat for a Nazi POW
Russians could have been better.
What could be more scary than being lead to the russians...in 1943...
Yeah specifically an SS one
Why is that
@@Haddley333 In 1939, Germany invaded Poland. Now Germany invaded a lot of places of course, but the Poles received especially bitter treatment. Hitler gave a speech in which he said his troops had "orders to kill without pity or mercy all men, women, and children of Polish descent or language."
Worse, they made a secret deal with the Soviets called the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, which mean Poland got invaded from both the East and West. Poland was ready to mobilize their troops to defend themselves, but France pressured for diplomacy, not understanding the situation. Poland was also brutally underequipped for this era of warfare, deploying cavalry units when the Germans had tanks.
The result was devastating. A country with a population of about 35 million in 1939 had as few as 24 million in 1946 (due to deaths, but also relocation and shifting borders). It took decades for Poland to recover.
Hope this helps.
@jakebrooks7481 not a whole lot of those cuz the ss were so bad maths Allies just shot them when they were captured
I burst out laughing about how he differently he interrogated the Bavarian vs the Prussian.
My wife's uncle ran the recording equipment in the interrogations of POWs and high level German war criminals from D-Day to the fall of Germany and part of the occupation. He told me it was chilling to listen to the hardcore Nazis talk about the extermination of the Jews and others. My uncle was an Italian from the Bronx and he was often used to interrogate Italian prisoners in Africa and Sicily. He told me he was interrogating some Italian POWs and found out that one of them was his cousin.
that's a come to jesus moment
After he died, I found out my Italian Bronx Uncle a also in the OSS interrogation unit. He needed to convince the men that he was from the same region or town. He stayed in touch with some who remained in the CIA after the war. He also went to a ten year anniversary of his unit. Wish he left details. Your wife isn’t Elizebeth?
@@EdwardCaffrey22 Nope. I wish I was smart enough to have recorded some of those old guys...
Vivid imagination on him.
You just need to get the prisoner past the "name, rank, serial number" stage. Something to bear in mind if you are the one being interrogated
see SF Moran memo linked above
I like this kind of training films.
Now these are the dialogues I always wanted to see in a war movie. So natural and serious. Awesome!!
See a WWII training film called "Resisting Enemy Interrogation." It is a training film done in the style of a Florid Thriller.
As I was watching this, I recognized one of the actors, the man playing Capt. Schwartz, the interrogator in Northern Ireland, Roman Bohnen. I recognized him from the film "The Best Years of Our Lives", a great film about veterans readjusting to civilian life. He played the father of Fred Derry, who was played by Dana Andrews.
Fantastic movie, one of the best about vets adjusting to life after war.
The value of study for no reason other than learning is demonstrated well here. Knowing things before they are needed means you can take advantage of opportunities that require that knowledge later on. If you didn’t know those things, you would not be able to take advantage. You never know when an odd piece of information you’ve learned becomes critical to success.
18:32 the poles put a lot of fear in to him
Sure, we do.
Well nothing puts more fear to an oppressor than the idea that the tables could be reversed one day. Just look how much the autocracy feared the common people.
And that was earlier explained by the evidence found of his "brutal treatment of the poles".
Kind of great video
Its weird seeing cartoons depicting Germans and Japanese as stereotypes, but here they're saying that these men were actual human beings before the war
+Jewmeat01 It sort of makes sense, it would behoove someone in this field to know how his enemy acts. The overblown stereotypes would not help in the context of this film.
Propaganda films are aimed at the public, who are often morons. Training films need to be as accurate as possible or they are useless.
Then again there are the SNAFU films that are made to poked at stereotypes.
it's almost as if cartoons generally aren't meant to be ultra realistic depictions of the world at large, but rather, often gross and crude exaggerations that play upon common knowledge, universal themes, cultural humour, prejudice, etc.
When you’re face to face with your enemy after the fighting is done, you see yourself staring back at you with different color eyes, different shaped eyes, or much shorter or taller than you. In the end you can see a young man the same as you who has been called to fight for their greater cause and even conscription where they never wanted to fight but did so to save their brothers and themselves.
Peter va Eyck makes an early film acting debut at 15:03. Peter was a fantastic actor, appearing in some true classics such as the brilliant "The Wages of Fear", one of the greatest films ever made in my opinion. From Germany originally he moved out years before WW2, became a US citizen and was enlisted in 1943... so this might be his first film role.
That's also Gary Merrill at 1:38 -- then later when he supposedly bungles his mock interview with a POW.
"The FBI Our secret police "
"Like the Gestapo? "
Man guess the feds weren't well liked even back then. Brutally honest.
Well, it actually plays on how for the Axis powers, their national secret police/LEO programs were notorious for how brutal they could be. Granted, the FBI hasn't exactly had a spotless record, but it's easier to convince such a POW that their friends/family in America could be subject to the same "enhanced interrogation", even if it wouldn't actually happen.
"Not exactly"
"Well no, but also yes."
The japanese interrogators must've been bored during the entire war.
*curb your war crimes*
Must be easy to coerce the Japanese without violating the Geneva convention. All you have to do is threaten to let people back home know they're safe.
I'll remember this at my next job interview.
‘The f*ck I’m going to work for you. This interview is over’.
1:35 "A singer who studied in Italy" sure looks like actor Gary Merrill.
Yes Gary Merrill, that's what I thought too!
It was Gary Merrill.
Men carried themselves so differently back in this time. I would do anything to go back just for a week or so and meet people like this. They seem so refined. Even if they struggled with demons, they presented well. It’s both fascinating and depressing to watch, because we’ve lost so much.
These guys are like the actors that produce sales training videos. Not saying the sales videos are worthless but most customers are not as cooperative as the sales video would have you believe
What have we lost?
Its scripted
Everything@@lopenash
@@lopenashdecorum, pride, work ethic, community...off the top of my head.
18:33 i send you to The Poles ! - oh shit ill tell you everything :D
I think the interrogator could've skipped all the other interrogation techniques _(being friendly, assuring the prisoner's side is losing, etc.)_ and threatened to send him to the Poles for questioning right at the start.
@@hmartinspliff lol
im surprised how many of these techniques are still used to not and not just in war, but also forensic psychology
A friend of mine was a Chef (chef, not chief) in the navy. He had to attend a mandatory course on being interrogated as a pow….. he said that with very little encouragement he would give up every recipe he knows.
Funny how even back then in training videos they alluded to a familiarity with each other in interrogation
Now the big question is: how'd they get a Japanese soldier to surrender😂😂😂
Well it wasn't a soldier it was a pilot, so they probably found him and captured him.
Same way you get a German to surrender. There are always fanatics but there are also normal people. Try to de montage the propaganda that keeps them from surrendering. Despite traditions and propaganda you may still have a certain success rate.
find the smart ones
xcalibrx They gave them a Grasshopper.
Drop an Atomic Bomb on him
He won't break. We've tried everything! Do you want me to bring out the Leroy Nieman paintings?
He desperately avoided postings to Russia?
He'll talk or he's off to a POW Camp in Canada.
The man asking a question at 5:38 is Robert Foulk, a supporting actor occasionally in movies and all over television in the 1950s into the 1970s, often in westerns.
Nice shout out. Quick what's your favorite movie from the 50s
@@InnerCityX Forbidden Planet, with The Day the Earth Stood Still a respectable second. What's yours?
@@melindayoung5133 whoa!! See I'm 25 so I was fully expecting to not know your references and I was looking forward to seeing them if you replied. However, bless my father for being really into movies as I've seen both of those! Not since I was very young but I knew them from the names alone and when I looked em up I totally recognized them. Super awesome movies!!
I don't have a favorite per say but from that realm I remember really really liking Brother From Another Planet because it was pretty tasteful and a self aware concept (a black man in the 60s(?) Is an alien crashed on earth right into Harlem NY)
But before I recognized your movies I was gonna say I really really like Greed in The Sun, it's a 50/60s Italian trucking movie set in the middle eastern desert and there's some cool drama to it. A pretty slow and long movie but what I love about it is how they made the audience feel like these trucks weren't just movie trucks, they were getting pushed to their limits. Multiple repairs, violence, racing, its pretty damn cool.
Sorry if im rambling but I like this this stuff haha!
"I'm not asking you to betray military secrets" when that's precisely what he's trying to do!😂🤣
pretty sure that guy at 1:20 wasn't a politician.
Paradox xodarap 1:19 he wasnt a philosopo
"...hospital, quarantine station, diner party...these aren't the only locales for indirect interrogation, you may dream up of better ones..." My, how times have changed. They should show this to those people at gitmo
I love these obscure training films,.... Thank you.
Who else instantly knew the second guy would be a "tough nut to crack"? I about died when the narrator said it after the fact!!
Goddamn the actors are good.
I almost felt pitty for the Italian.
This destroyed my initial concept of war POW interrogation is like.
4:42
Priceless
Missed that the first time around 😂
"The first I.O. couldn't even get to first base" Oh, my! 26:30
14:10 "Quiet!" would be "Sei still!" or "Ruhe!". What the interrogator said would be more fittingly translated to a very harsh and insulting "Shut up" lol.
Quiet sounds too nice for HALTS MAUL
Excellent video!
"It's Not good to Lose your Temper that Way..."
Imagine being a US interrogator just having learned the german language and you get a deeply bavarian prisoner or a swab. xD
this is amazing!
This stuff is gold !!!!!
Even the CIA proved that torture will give you 0% of good information. Use trickery and negociation ;)
Torture can work for a very short term objective like an impending attack that you're sure the prisoner knows all the details. Since the attack is scheduled for a certain time, it's easy to describe a set of escalating tortures leading to death within a certain time period if he doesn't talk. By starting with the lowest level torture, like a beating or some type of electric shock, you can convince the prisoner you're not kidding, and he'll undergo a series of gruesome torture until he's killed at the same time the attack is scheduled if he doesn't answer questions right.
As a typical interrogation method, you're right. It's worse than worthless since torture often leads to false actionable information that puts your forces more at risk than if the prisoner was never tortured to begin with. I think a lot of torture happens just because those doing it rather enjoy it instead of any military utility.
@Sar Jim It seems like this would only work if you convinced the prisoner you could quickly check his information. I could see it working to get someone to reveal a computer password that can be instantly checked. I could also see it working if you know the answers to many questions that the prisoner doesn't know you know. Every time he lies and you know it, you torture him. Then for future questions he doesn't know if you already know the answer. It also gives him the idea you know so much, so there's no point in lying. But if he figures out you don't know almost anything or if he knows which things you do not know, he can just tell you what you're most likely to believe.
I think this is moot, though, because there is value in being seen as "the good guys" and following humane rules. It may not convince a prisoner to change sides, but over the long-run being seen as human and just is powerful.
Re torture, retired 4-star general and former US Defense Secretary Jim Mattis was quoted as saying “I can get more information out of a guy with a pack of cigarettes and a couple of beers.”
Depends on the person. Sometimes just pulling a pair of pliers out and setting them on the desk will make a worm sing.
@@moncorp1What year from the Middle Ages do people comment from? Hasn’t anybody heard of scopolamine? 🙄
Occasionally you will have to resort to the breaking of uncooked pasta, and the screams will chill any prisoner that hears it
1:20 Lmao they picked this guy for "He could have been a politician".
I have seen that guy in 1:36, the "singer who studied in Italy," in a film noir movie, but I can't name him.
Another comment says Gary Merrill👍
Yes, it was Gary Merrill.
I love these training film's
15:20 "We do not treat our prisoners that way," says the German.
proabably meant war prisoners from allied military
He probably believed it too.
Not every soldier knows about everything their side is doing. Almost all soldiers think they're the good guys.
Think of Guantanamo Bay.

@MichaelKingsfordGray there is no reason to be upset
I had the same impression with the spoken Italian. I could follow along, but it sounded a bit different than what I am used to. It felt very old timey and weird.
This is so good
I love films like this.
Two Germans in a London bar:
- "Two martinis, please."
- (Bartender) "Dry?"
- "Nein! Zwei!"
Gib mir fümf! 😂
I know a Vietnam vet that was an interrogator. He claims that he would have pics of his family behind him, and when he noticed the prisoner looking at the pic frames, that was when the door was open. The interrogator would then say something like, “do you have family, a wife , son? “ etc. Then entice prisoner to reveal information for potential to see family.
I don’t think Soviet interrogators used such subtle methods! But, I bet they got some pretty rapid results.
13:49 it’s weird to imagine that’s how they would salute American military personnel like that too if they got captured
sign of respect. the americans did the same when they got captured.
Also, you can throw a lot of contempt into a salute. Flipping a captor off means the 'Cooler'...or worse.
It seems to me that many of these lessons remain in practice today, but refined. That is, if anybody even bothers to interrogate prisoners anymore.
Try googling an obscure place called "Guantanamo".
@@keithklassen5320 oh boy is duck in for a treat
*Of course they still interrogate prisoners.* _Human intelligence is of a different type than electronic and photographic intelligence and can help round out the picture giving an indication about the morale and feelings of the general enemy combatant._

That sounds kind of great.
00:56 "They can be made to talk not by violence..."

Define ‘violence’.
I forget how Prussians and Bavarians were still pretty separate
its still like this
It was a different time. Prussian are good at war while Bavarians good at yodelling

The way things were divided up after WWI was part of the reason for WWII. Even extended into the Yugoslav wars in the 90s.
When he said “the poles” I paused and whisper screamed. Why am I so invested in this? 💀
That’s trippy, at 7:17, that guy looks exactly like the Canadian head junior male gymnastics coach, Markos Baikas
Better to use the "Stalag 17" method: throw in a guy who speaks their language fluently and looks like one of them, as a fake POW. More likely to get them to talk freely.
Yeah then he gets thrown out at night with tin cans tied to his leg.....
Bro, he came down hard on Corporal Schloss and then straight up punked the pilot with that Blackout Girls advertisement at 17:10 That Skindles club in London must have been swinging.
"I don't suppose they give you these figures."
10:42
Ah yes Willi Schmidt.
The guy who slapped Kris Roch.
The best type of movie
I wonder how these interrogations really played out in real life
I think they were similar but maybe took more time. POWs are fairly resolute, at first. On the other hand, most of them didn't realize they were giving away information because the interrogators offered it up first, or at least something along the lines of what they got back.
Astonishing
fascinating
Well they might want to start with putting Hamburg to its actual location in the map at 2:41. It is supposed to be way more to the west and a bit to the north.
I noted that too! I'm not German but I love Hamburg 😊

Il sergente italiano parla con una dizione italiana perfetta; dizione che gli italani attuali hanno purtroppo dimenticato
Very interesting film! Thanks for uploading! I'm sure that it wouldn't have been this easy to get info out of all of their POWs. Isn't the indirect method of interrogation with the pretending to be a German officer against the law?
I believe it is only illegal to wear an enemy uniform on the battlefield
No, there's nothing in the Geneva Conventions that prohibit interrogations that involve lying including pretending to be an enemy solider. One of the reasons the first person shown, who was apparently a member of the German Army in WWI, was so valuable is that he could pretend to be another captured German soldier. His language skill and familiarity with German Army nomenclature and procedures would help him keep his persona tight. There was nothing short of physical or psychological torture that can't be used in trying to obtain information from an enemy soldier.
Honestly because there's no impartial party that monitors war crimes; you have to really push out before you get in trouble. Or loose the war of course.
@@benconrad5127 shoot, if its your side prosecuting you, you'll probably get off really light, just look at that guy who ordered the Mai Lai Massacre, I dont think he ever spent any time in a real prison.

During a training exercise. 105 F or 44C outside in the shade. "Come on don't be childish, you can have this ice cream!"
13:47 Now, THERE, is an interrogator!
27:41 anyone else notice the glasses? Specifically how the host barely drank any but filled the prisoners empty cup all the way?
The quality of instructional videos nowadays pales in comparison to these. Most instructional videos nowadays feel boring and makes using items or software (or any product) a DIY.
“Get them to talk not by violence” 😂😂 yeah right!
You get better information that way, violence just gets the prisoner to agree to anything the interrogator believes whether its right or wrong.
15:04 Holy cow! That's Peter van Eyck!
No fucking way any He-117 pilot would claim it was amazing.
3:50 point ...International treaties EVEN then required feeding POWs. That can not be used as a "softening up" technique.
Apparently Eisenhower was not familiar with this treaties so he let starve and die of exposure thousands of prisoner German soldiers. And this is History, not hearsay.
How quickly do you have to feed someone after capture?
@@topheavykoolaidMethinks its probably a good idea to keep them alive if you want intel from them. 🤔
I’m 100% sure that the captors were/are keeping the international treaties on their desks, consulting them whilst having a chat with the prisoner.
@@claudiamanta1943 yes. Duh. I meant do they have to be fed immediately after capture, a few hours, and how frequently do they need to be fed? I mean in terms of Geneva conventions and rules of war.

I can’t imagine how annoying it’d be to interrogate a Japanese POW..
"Please, have a seat and tell me your name."
"Kill me now"
Brit interrogating a Japanese- ‘Tea?…’
The first interrogation was a good example of an enemy prisoner feeding the American officer disinformation: He called the He 177, "Wonderful." They didn't call the thing "Grief" for nothing.
It was called ‘Greif’ for Griffin not grief but the point is not far from the truth. That bomber had far too many new technologies to make it work well
So Good but There are so many ways and Techniques of Good Interrogations.
12:30, especially thanks to the copilots simplicity - do things really work out that easy?
Calling your enemy impotent? About as dumb as calling for unconditional surrender.
It depends. If used intelligently, it can be effective at destabilising them emotionally. Then you can push them over.
They got the German 3 hand signal correct here
6:59 He allowed His anger to escalate. Every prisoner is supposed to (S)urvive, ( E)vade, (R)esist, (E)scape. This is more than a game, it is life in War, but one must play this game, and not blame a soldier for being as such, especially when one is the same. Smile at the lier, and know he loves life. Now He’s a potential “friend”. Now y’all have something In Common. Anger, always indicates a loss of control and is a sign of fear. You, as an interrogator have NOTHING to fear. So, why be angry?
He was not angry, he pretended to be angry as method of intimidation. It’s a crap way to control, though, unless you are willing to go further. Squashing someone psychologically to a pulp is not that difficult. The problem with that is that you will get unreliable intel because they will be just a resonance chamber, telling you more or less random things only to please you.
You'd had to be a crap politician not to rig your way out of a draft.
The Japanese soldiers were never taught to resist interrogation, because they were exited to die, or unalive themselves before that point of time. They usually gave information away without although because of that fact.
22:13 la vostra Gestapo 😂
21:19 and he would too!!! Providence is full of Italians, G-d bless them!
