The Hidden Fuhrer: Debating The Enigma Of Hitler's Sexuality

A documentary based on the 2001 book "The Hidden Hitler". The book, by German Professor Lothar Machtan, argues that Hitler - who was responsible for one of the worst campaigns of anti-gay persecution in history - may have been homosexsual himself and that his desire to keep it a secret motivated many of his actions. This film details Machtan's theory which most mainstream historians and surviving eyewitnesses dispute. Interviews in the documentary include those with: Lothar Machtan, author of "The Hidden Hitler" Geoffrey Giles, author of a study of gays in the Nazi party Brigitte Hamann, Austrian historian and author Ron Rosenbaum, author of "Explaining Hitler" Ralf Dose, German gay historian and founder of the Magnus Hirschfeld Society.
