Archival footage and interviews enliven this gripping documentary narrated by Richard Basehart that traces the evolution of Adolf Hitler's Germany. Beginning with Hitler's birth in a remote Bavarian inn and ending in the Berlin chancellery where the fuhrer perished in flames, the film examines the origins of the Nazi reign of terror, which plunged the world into its most devastating war. This is the international theatrical version of the US television documentary based on William. Shirer's monumental, best-selling book.
