Last Secrets of the Third Reich
2011Seasons & Episode
Hitler's private life was amongst the Third Reich's best-kept secrets. The public only found out about his wife posthumously, and Eva Braun was far from the only woman in Hitler's life. Previous lovers, influential admirers, wealthy sponsors... somehow Hitler had a hold over all of them. What could have motivated these women to flock to Adolf Hitler?
Albert Speer, Hitler's architect, master builder, and armaments minister, laid the backdrop for Nazi ideology in stone and concrete. He was the man in charge of Germany's extensive armaments, and yet Speer somehow managed to retain his reputation as 'the good Nazi'. Speer's carefully cultivated image of the innocent bystander is revealed for what it is: a construct of lies and deceit.
