Posterity has cast Adolf Hitler as a ruthless warlord and inspired strategist. His blitzkrieg victory over France, Europe's leading military power, stunned the world and completed the Third Reich's conquest of Western Europe. But the Führer may have had the intuition, but he was not the author of the victorious and unprecedented campaign plan.

Hitler was certainly a war leader. But his pride and his mortifying ideology blinded him. In the course of the conflict, the self-proclaimed strategist turned out to be an amateur whose mistakes plunged Germany into the abyss of disaster.

In this episode:
From 1937 color films document everyday life in Hitler's Germany. Eva Braun and Hans Baur, Adolf Hitler’s personal pilot, are among the first amateur filmmakers to expose the new celluloid. This creates unique images of the dictator's public appearances and his private life on Obersalzberg. Scanned in high-resolution HD, the footage of Hitler and his entourage tells a particularly realistic tale.

The first half of the 20th century, the two world wars, the parades in Nuremberg and Moscow, and the appearances of Roosevelt and Churchill: are handed down and remembered by generations in classic black and white. But little known, hidden in film archives and private collections, other images have also survived. Hitler's lover, Eva Braun, and the Führer's pilot Hans Baur, Marlene Dietrich, and Roosevelt's Minister of Finance, soldiers of the Wehrmacht and the cameramen of the OSS had a common passion: they filmed history in color, for private pleasure or to document historical events.

Inside the SS is the full story of the Third Reich’s deadliest paramilitary organization told by the men who served in it.

From its creation, with only 20 young men serving as Hitler’s bodyguards in the 1920’s to 800,000 men spreading terror across Germany and occupied Europe in 1944, the film retraces the construction of Hitler’s fanatical killing machine.

Based on previously unseen interviews and colourised archive footage the film helps us to understand the mechanisms of political radicalisation, and how thousands of men were able to pursue one ideological goal, without constraint or empathy for human kind.

Thanks to a 2 year Europe-wide investigation, Serge de Sampigny's film unmasks more than 20 wartime SS officers still alive today, who have agreed to speak openly about their roles inside the SS. An unprecedented documentary, that leads us on a journey into the depths of their souls and the madness of their actions.
