Plot

This documentary triple feature covers Adolf Hitler's rise to power and rape of Poland, the criminal trials of many notorious Nazis including Goebbels, Goring and Himmler, and a bizarre look at the life of Der Fuhrer and what made him tick.

After Mein Kampf
1940
Produced in war-time England, this is the first actual documentary produced outside of Germany to depict the rise in power of Adolf Hitler and his plans for world domination. The feature uses actual film footage and dramatic reconstructions to present the rape of Poland, the seizure of the Low Countries, and the attacks on Great Britain. This documentary was obviously meant as war-time propaganda, but it is still remarkable for its content.
Director: Norman Lee
Starring: Peter Ustinov, Robert Beatty, Herbert Lom
Run Time: 54 minutes

Nuremberg Trials
1947
This Russian documentary takes to inside the Nuremberg trials where some of Nazi Germany's most notorious war criminals were forced to face justice for their actions prior to and during World War II. The footage includes excerpts from the actual trials of many notorious Nazis including Goebbels, Goring and Himmler. Since the making of this documentary was coinciding with the actual trials themselves, the fate of the defendants was not known at the time of the filming.
Director: C. Svilov
Starring: Josef Goebbels, Hermann Goring
Run Time: 57 minutes

The Secret Life of Adolf Hitler
1945
We get a bizarre look at the life of Adolf Hitler, including interviews with Adolf's sister and the loyal Nazis who were there during his last days in the Berlin bunker. Also included in this documentary is an interview with Eva Braun, who discusses her relationship with Der Fuhrer. Archival footage of Hitler shows him doing leisure activities, including footage of Eva Braun in a bathing suit doing gymnastics, since Hitler couldn't stand fat people, according to the narrator.
Starring: Adolf Hitler, Eva Braun
Run Time: 53 minutes
