GDR and Hitler's Secret Bunker

Movies
This Spiegel TV documentary reconstructs the dramatic events of Adolf Hitler’s final 10 days in his bunker installed deep below the Berlin Chancellery of the Reich and tries to answer several questions: whether at this point Hitler was in a mental wreck, waiting for the arrival of troops that no longer existed? Did he shoot himself or did his loyal servant give him a poison capsule? Did Magda Goebbels put her children to death herself, or did a physician perform this terrible act on her behalf? Director Michael Kloft interviews here the last remaining contemporaries of the day, including former Wehrmacht adjutant Bernd Freytag von Loringhoven and former Hitler Youth member Armin D. Lehmann, and he assesses and evaluates numerous interviews with eye witnesses since deceased. He also reviews the available documentation and consults experts.
