Original subtitles

May 2nd, 1945, the Soviet Army's red flag flies over Berlin.

Helmuth Weidling, the German general responsible for defending the city, surrenders.

The Russians interrogate him and he recounts Hitler's final moments,

even imitating him. He was an utter mess.

He was sitting on his chair, completely crushed.

His hands were shaking like this on the mat.

He spoke in a barely audible voice, and from time to time,

spittle came out of his mouth.

He was a ravaged man.

One year earlier, early 1944, in his chalet, the Berghof,

Hitler struggles to regain strength.

His companion, Eva Braun, continues to film him.

We see her here, on the bottom right, in the reflection with her camera.

She later comments: "I criticized him for standing so hunched over."

He replied: "It's because I'm carrying around a bag full of worries."

For Hitler, the main threat is the Red Army and Marshal Zhukov.

The Germans did not expect the huge defeats they suffered in Ukraine.

Let our enemies not forget that our great Soviet people

are united around Comrade Stalin as never before.

So begins the fall of Hitler.

APOCALYPSE THE FALL OF HITLER

Stalin's tanks move forward, but are still far from the Reich.

When Hitler returns to his headquarters at the Wolf's Lair,

he is furious with the army generals, whom he blames for these successive defeats.

The generals, on the other hand, are more and more intent

on overthrowing the Führer, who is leading Germany to disaster.

How will Hitler face the final act of his tragedy?

2/2 THE FINAL ACT

All across the front, the German army is on the defensive.

The troops retreat to Ukraine after their terrible defeat at Cherkasy.

Since January 44, six Wehrmacht divisions are surrounded, as in Stalingrad.

The Germans are equipped for winter this time,

but the Russians outnumber them, three to one.

All desperate attempts to help them fail, due to the mud,

the snow, and the cold.

Half of the besieged managed to escape, leaving behind 30,000 dead,

wounded, or captive, and all the equipment of an army.

But German propaganda transforms this defeat into victory.

Hitler has himself filmed with the survivor of the Battle of Cherkasy,

Belgian SS officer Leon Degrelle, who must take part

in a wide-scale recruitment campaign in Belgium

to combat the Russian guerrilla fighters.

Hitler claims: "In recent months, banditry in the East

has assumed intolerable proportions."

Hitler organizes Degrelle's triumphant return to Belgium,

which inspires thousands of volunteers to enlist.

The Nazis are short of men, and this army,

recruited in a hurry throughout Europe in the name of the crusade against Bolshevism,

lacks combat skills and falls short of the criteria for the Aryan race,

as defined by SS chief Heinrich Himmler.

In the spring of 1944, 100,000 people from the Baltic states,

50,000 Romanians,

and 30,000 Serbs join the Hungarian,

Dutch, Italian, and Norwegian SS,

as well as the 7,000 French soldiers of the Charlemagne Division,

disturbing images of Frenchmen in German uniforms

who salute the unknown soldier fallen during World War I, fighting against Germany.

Most of these SS troops are sent to Russia, where medals come quickly

and death even quicker.

They combat the Russian resistance fighters, the partisans.

These men are often Soviet soldiers who escape from the encirclements

and hid behind German lines.

The SS comb the forests and destroy the villages,

but despite their brutality and cruelty,

they can't slow the tide of the Soviet guerrilla warfare,

which spreads, paralyzing communications.

Three years after Barbarossa, the German invasion,

240,000 clandestine Soviet partisans are waging war in Russia's forests.

The Soviet January Thunder Offensive has liberated Leningrad,

under siege since 1941.

The Red Army advances toward the Baltic states.

Hitler tries to stop it by building a line of blockhouses in the east.

In the west, he constructs the Atlantic Wall to prevent an Allied landing.

Cannons, fortifications, and armies

require millions of tons of steel, manganese, coal, and wheat.

Hitler wants no more retreating and decides to set an example.

Field Marshal Erich von Manstein, one of the Reich's greatest warlords,

is blamed by Hitler for abandoning territories

he considers essential to the German economy.

Hitler relieves him of his command.

He wants to be blindly obeyed. He becomes the leader again, the Führer.

On April 20, 1944, the propaganda services are mobilized on the Munich Autobahn

to mark his 55th birthday and to show off brand new, ultra-modern equipment.

And to all the Nazi leaders who obsequiously congratulate him, he says:

"I know what I want, and I shall fight for it."

After the habitual birthday concert at the Berlin Opera House,

propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels appeals to the German people.

We have devoted ourselves for a whole year to the Führer's work,

with our diligence and bravery.

On his birthday, we want to express our gratitude with words

that come from the depths of our hearts.

He must constantly know that he can count on his people.

Even in this fight to the death, he is and will remain

what he has always been to us, our Hitler.

Berlin is in ruins, but Goebbels has this birthday celebrated here

to show that Allied bombings had not weakened the Führer's resolve.

The Hitler Youth must cover the ruins with swastikas and slogans like:

"Our walls are broken, but not our hearts."

Goering, the bloated Reich Marshal, head of the Air Force,

drives through the disaster zone in a convertible,

even though he had solemnly sworn that no enemy planes could ever fly over the Reich.

However, in the spring of 1944,

Germany is attacked by American bombers by day and the British by night.

Their losses are terrible. Nearly 50 bombers, each with 10 crewmen,

are shot down in each raid, like this Boeing B-17.

Over the course of the war, 100,000 Allied airmen are killed.

When they are lucky enough to be able to parachute down,

German propaganda repeatedly shows them being captured.

27,000 German fighter pilots die

without being able to prevent their country's terrible punishment.

Hitler in a chalet seems in a stupor.

What does his entourage think when he starts to say:

"If the German people is to be conquered in the struggle,

then it has been too weak to face the test of history and is fit only for destruction."

For the inner circle at the Berghof, Hitler has always had Providence on his side.

Everyone relishes the present and their privileged status,

even if Hitler's dull monologues go on until two in the morning.

Maria von Below, his aide-de-camp's wife, says:

"There were boring moments, but how could anyone forget how happy we were?"

Hitler dwells on his glory days. He recalls:

"It was in the majestic calm of the mountains that I made my best decisions."

"I feel as if I am soaring above the misery, above the ordeals of my people."

"That is where I can hatch the brilliant concepts that change our world

and transcend human limits."

Hitler knows he's in trouble, but he does not deviate from his grand plan

to annihilate the Jewish people.

Himmler presents Hitler with a report by his deputy,

SS Adolf Eichmann, which states:

"In our various camps, some four million Jews have already been killed."

Edith Bruch, a Hungarian deportee and one of the Holocaust's greatest voices,

testifies about her time in the barracks of Auschwitz:

"Every minute of every hour of every day, people died, one by selection,

one during roll call, one from starvation, one from disease, and another by suicide,

electrocuted on the barbed wire, hanging there forever,

like Jesus Christ on the cross."

One of the secretaries, Christa Schroeder, writes:

"Hitler thought it was normal for the ashes of the deportees

burned in the crematoria to be used as fertilizer for the SS vegetable gardens."

Far from all these horrors, Eva Braun surrounds herself with the children

that Hitler did not want.

But she is anxious to please her Fuhrer.

She imposes a fitness regime, a diet, and purgatives on herself,

but they make her sick and worry Hitler.

Christa Schroeder recalls:

"He stroked her arm endlessly, saying: "My little rabbit"."

He has a passion for the cinema, so she tries to resemble the stars of the films

and shows intended to raise the morale of the Germans,

who ventured between two alerts in theaters still standing.

Hitler also acts for Eva Braun's camera.

Here, in this shot, he perpetuates a legend, but those who meet him are not fooled.

These famous pilots, lucky enough to return from the Russian hell,

have just been decorated by the Fuhrer.

One of them recalls having the feeling of facing a madman

when he heard Hitler hammer home:

"Germany will either be a world power or will not be at all."

But on April 22, 1944, when he meets with Mussolini, Hitler is more pessimistic.

He doesn't lie about the catastrophic situation in the East

and the failure of the submarines in the Atlantic.

Mussolini later writes: "We are all on the same sinking ship."

Hitler complains that the war in Italy monopolizes divisions

that should be in Russia.

But what can Mussolini do with the last of his fascist soldiers

being harassed by the Italian partisans?

After landing in southern Italy, the Allies are blocked by the Germans,

firmly retrenched around Montecassino.

This rocky peak, topped by a monastery, was first demolished by Allied aircraft.

German paratroopers occupy the ruins, turning them into a fortress.

Allied troops take five months to capture Montecassino

with the help of the French Expeditionary Corps soldiers

who penetrate the German defense line.

General de Gaulle, one of Hitler's fiercest opponents

and the leader of the French Resistance, wants to show everyone

that his country is back in the war.

With these soldiers from France's North African colonies,

equipped with American or British equipment, weapons, and uniforms.

De Gaulle bestows the military medal, the highest decoration,

upon the future president of independent Algeria, Ahmed Ben Bella,

for saving his wounded officer under enemy fire.

At the time, Ben Bella is a staff sergeant.

General de Gaulle tells him: "And now you shall liberate France."

This army, also composed of free Frenchmen, pied-noir's, and troops from Africa,

trains in Algeria before landing in the south of France in the summer of 1944.

In England, another army of nearly 2 million men and women from America

and the British Empire get ready.

200,000 will embark for D-Day.

What does Hitler know? He is confident.

For him, the Atlantic wall should prevent the Allies from landing.

He says: "They have 80 divisions poised for invasion."

"We need more flamethrowers, especially in defense."

"The flamethrower is one of the most terrifying things."

"It will scare the hell out of the enemy infantry before hand-to-hand combat."

"They will lose their nerve when they see they are surrounded by flamethrowers."

"There must be flamethrowers everywhere."

But on the agenda for June 3, 1944, 72 hours before the Allied landing,

is the wedding of Eva Braun's sister, Gretl, to SS General Hermann Fegelein.

Fegelein is responsible for the massacre of Jews on the Eastern Front.

Wounded in the repression of the partisans,

he has become Himmler's liaison officer to Hitler,

an opportunist. He seduces Gretl Braun.

Himmler, the most feared man in Germany, celebrates the wedding

by offering the bride and groom wine, bread, and salt,

according to old Germanic pagan tradition.

Himmler favors this union, which will allow him to monitor Hitler closely.

Eva Braun is also pleased about this marriage, which feels a bit like her own.

She dreams of becoming Mrs. Adolf Hitler.

Everyone celebrates on top of the mountain, overlooking the Berchtesgaden Valley,

a few miles from the Berghof.

One must travel along a private road and through six tunnels

to reach the foot of Hitler's mountain residence, the Eagle's Nest.

Building this structure required 3,500 renowned stonemasons, mainly Italian,

who toiled for two years.

This feat cost the equivalent of 150 million euros.

For the last 400-yard climb, an elevator has been drilled into the rock.

Its speed gives Hitler palpitations.

Pride stops him from going often, only to impress visiting heads of state.

When Hitler is not around, Eva Braun and Gretl go up to the Eagle's Nest

with their friends to smoke and sunbathe.

Things usually forbidden by the Führer, he doesn't like tanned skin.

Eva Braun often invites her parents, Franziska and Friedrich Braun,

a Catholic teacher, who would have preferred Eva to be married,

but reaps the benefits from the situation.

Back to June 3, 1944.

Gretl is queen of the day.

Himmler, a witness at her wedding, pampers her.

Everyone crowds into the big elevator.

Do these people realize that their world is about to disappear?

That this is the last party?

Hitler has stayed at the Berghof.

He isn't around to forbid serving alcohol.

And he hates parties. He can't dance.

The SS provides the orchestra.

Eva Braun opens a ball with a man who is now her brother-in-law.

The party lasts three days.

And on the morning of the third day, at 6.30 a.m. on June 6, 1944,

the Allies land in France.

As usual, Hitler has gone to bed very late.

Nobody dares wake him to tell him this crucial news.

On this fateful day, Hitler wakes up late morning.

Everyone is on overdrive. Goering immediately shows him what he calls the invasion.

The Normandy Landing.

General Jodl, the chief of staff, details the zones where fighting is going on.

Five beaches between Caen and Cherbourg.

Hitler is convinced this is a diversion.

The real landing will take place in the Pas-de-Calais,

the northernmost part of France, where he maintains his troops.

He is confident. He says:

"The news could not be better. As long as they were in England,

we could not get to them. Now, at last, they are within our reach."

The same Hitler-like arrogance appears in Die Deutsche Wochenschau,

the German newsreel.

The commentary declares: "A date that will go down in history."

"Under pressure from Moscow, the British and the Americans have begun the invasion."

"We have long been waiting for."

"They are met with German troops on high alert."

"The British warships, time has come."

"The battle between the coastal batteries and the naval artillery is underway."

"The landing ships and their crews have been swiftly destroyed or captured."

For several days, the German newsreels continue to show destroyed Allied equipment

and American prisoners,

the ruins of Normandy and the plight of the French.

But Hitler, who now only shows his face at the funerals of his heroes fallen in combat,

is forced to admit that the Americans are advancing almost 20 miles per day.

So, one week after the Normandy landing, on June 13, 1944,

the Fuhrer unveils his first secret weapon.

The V-1 flying bomb, a small, unmanned aircraft

carrying almost 1,800 pounds of explosives from the Pas-de-Calais to London,

causing considerable damage.

June 22, 1944.

At the same time, in coordination with the Allies,

the Russians launch their biggest offensive ever.

24,000 cannons and an unprecedented concentration of artillery

demolish the German lines.

Two million Russian soldiers with 4,000 tanks smash through the front.

Hitler then gives a new scorched-earth order.

He says: "I want the complete destruction of all railroad equipment,

locomotives, pumps, everything."

Hitler adds: "This should give us time

and significally hinder the adversary's operations."

Now begins the retreat of the glorious Wehrmacht.

400,000 of Hitler's soldiers are killed, wounded or taken prisoner.

This is the greatest defeat in the history of the German army.

Will the Fuhrer continue fighting?

The front is getting dangerously close to the Wolf's Lair,

Hitler's advanced headquarters.

On July 20, 1944, Hitler and his generals are in a meeting room,

taking stock of the difficult situation.

A bomb explodes. One of the officers present,

Colonel von Stauffenberg, planted plastic explosives,

killing or wounding 20 people.

But not Hitler.

Yet this is the worst of the seven attacks and ten attempts against him.

Only a few hours later, under the rain and the cape that hides his wounds,

he greets Mussolini. Hitler is happy to see him again, alive.

He tells him: "They just unleash the hellish machine against me."

Hitler records a speech.

He, who is against religions, thanks the heavens.

I am unharmed. I take this as confirmation of Providence's mandate

to pursue my life's mission, as I have always done.

Mussolini has come to ask Hitler, whom he calls my old friend,

for more military help. This is their 17th and final meeting.

Hitler has himself filmed with a wounded.

Even he is in shock. His eardrums are perforated.

And x-rays show the presence of blood in his ears.

He cannot use his right arm and has violent stomach spasms

and jaundice, which Dr. Morell diagnoses

as psychologically induced gastric reflux by spasm.

The conspirators have tried in the kangaroo court.

Hitler says: "At last I've got the bastards who have been sabotaging my work for years."

"Now I know why my great plans for Russia failed."

"Without these traitors, we would have won long ago."

On Hitler's orders, the main accused, after being copiously tortured,

are hung from butcher's hooks with electrical wire to prolong the agony of strangulation.

Late August 1944, Hitler watches the latest newsreels

showing General de Gaulle in liberated Paris.

The commentary underlines the anarchy that reigns in the wake of the Germans' departure.

Hitler had given the order to destroy the city.

He is irate. He shouts: "Is Paris burning?"

Choltitz, the German military governor, didn't carry out this order

because he didn't have the means to do so.

In September 1944, Hitler locks himself up in the gigantic bunkers

he had built in each of his headquarters, like here at the Wolf's Lair.

His secretary, Christa Schroeder, writes:

"In this room's heavy atmosphere, his imagination flourished

like a poisonous plant, with the conviction that he could still win the war."

Hitler ponders an autumn offensive in the west.

His generals would prefer to use their last forces

to defend themselves in the East against the Russians.

But does anyone still dare challenge the Fuhrer?

Hitler's objective is to take the port of Antwerp

and cut off the British forces to the north and the Americans to the south.

He will cross the Ardennes forest like he did in 1940,

which brought him victory over France.

On November 20, 1944, Hitler goes up to the Eagle's Nest

to tap into the spirit of this victory and find perspective.

This is the twilight of the gods for the Third Reich,

fighting on five fronts with the entire world as its enemy.

The Fuhrer's entourage helplessly witnesses his nervous decay.

Yet his confidence remained, a secretary wrote:

"He was possessed by the conviction that he could achieve his goals through will alone."

On December 16, 1944, Hitler launches his last armored divisions in fighting condition.

The troops are increasingly young.

This is a last chance offensive led by loyalists like SS General Sepp Dietrich,

who remains quite skeptical. He says:

"I only had four days to prepare the offensive instead of four weeks."

"The terrain chosen is the worst kind for our tanks."

The news of this unexpected German strike creates panic from Brussels to Paris,

liberated four months earlier.

The exodus begins again with this phrase repeated everywhere.

They're coming back. They're coming back.

As Germans rapidly advance through Belgium, they take many American prisoners

who thought the war was won and are preparing for the holiday season.

Goebbels' propaganda machine films them with a racist emphasis.

In Malmedy, the day after the attack, 84 American prisoners are shot by SS men

who have already committed crimes on the Eastern Front.

But the Germans won't get much further.

Having suffered 80,000 losses, blocked by the lack of fuel,

the Allied Air Force fighters and the tanks, artillery,

and determination of General Patton's men.

On December 28th, after only 10 days of fighting, Hitler faces reality.

The Battle of the Bulge is lost.

It has cost him 100,000 men dead, wounded, captured.

In the east, moving through Poland,

the Red Army launches an assault on Berlin, 300 miles away.

Rokossovsky, Zhukov, and Konev's tanks approach the border of the Reich.

The Russians meet with desperate German resistance.

Women are the first victims of the men's brutality.

How many German women were raped by the Russians?

Two million dared to report it.

250,000 committed suicide.

The German news interviews women to rally resistance.

They didn't even spare my 60-year-old mother. They raped her, like animals.

"And you too?", asks a reporter.

Yes, and my sister and mother were abused in a bestial animal manner.

Since the beginning of their offensive, the Russians have liberated the Nazi death camps.

Children in this camp have managed to survive, hidden in an underground cache.

They are surrounded by thousands of corpses.

In the face of the Soviet advance, Himmler has ordered the destruction

of all evidence of extermination.

But he wants to hold on to the slave labor

and transfers the deportees to camps inside Germany.

This is to be the death march that Edith Bruch lived through.

She writes: "The endless march continued, sowing corpses along the way."

"As soon as the locals saw us, they fled as though we had the plague."

"We were left to feed on garbage and tree bark."

On January 16, 1945, Hitler returns to Berlin.

The sight before him is indescribable.

The city has been devastated by bombings, leaving one million people homeless.

Hitler hides out in his bunker, buried under the gardens

and ballroom of the new chancellery.

The entrance is marked by two ventilation towers connected to generators.

The first wing, on the right, houses the guards and staff.

The left wing, reserved for Hitler, is the Führerbunker, with 20 small rooms.

The staircase leads 30 yards underground, to a hallway

with shared toilets and showers.

Smoking is, of course, forbidden.

Then there is a kitchen, storage rooms for food and weapons,

and lodgings for the guards, with emergency oxygen everywhere.

Perfected communications are installed next to the doctor's office,

where the infamous Dr. Morell continues to inject Hitler

with whatever medication he can still find.

He now treats the Führer for what he considers to be Parkinson's disease.

Goebbels and his wife Magda sleep with their six children,

whom they will kill on the last day, before committing suicide themselves.

There is a hallway for generals and dignitaries

waiting to enter a small meeting room, where Hitler strategizes

with phantom divisions and dead armies.

The office of the indispensable Bormann is next to Hitler's living room,

with the famous portrait of Frederick the Great.

Gerda Christian, the secretary, says of this painting:

"It always felt like he was judging you harshly with his huge eyes."

Hitler hung his portrait there as a historical example

because he saved Prussia at the very last moment.

Hitler's room, where his dog Blondie sleeps next to him,

with a small statuette of Eva Braun, who won't join him until April.

She will have her own room and walk-in closet,

but will suffer from the suffocating stench of the toilets, sweat, boots, gasoline,

and tobacco, now authorized by Hitler, along with liquor.

Right next door is the dormitory of the secretaries,

who must remain at the Fuhrer's disposal night and day,

despite the bombings regularly felt, even underground.

One of these secretaries, Traudl Junge, recalls:

"Every time a bomb fell, the bunker shook and the electric light flickered."

Hitler would say: "This time the bomb could have hit us."

His face was pale, his expression tense. Hitler was afraid.

Early March 1945, the Allies crossed the Rhine and the Russians crossed the Oder.

The threat to Berlin is increasingly real.

The country's young men are dead, so the Nazis must organize

a wide-scale recruitment of older people and teenagers to defend the Reich's capital.

They call this army the Volkssturm, the people's storm.

They must swear allegiance to the Fuhrer, and Goebbels tries to rally them.

But he doesn't even have a uniform to give them, just a numerical weapon,

the Panzerfaust, a single-shot disposable bazooka.

You have to stand no more than 90 feet away

to have a chance of hitting a huge Russian tank.

It's suicidal.

Soon after, the Nazis throw the young fanatics of the Hitlerjugend,

the Hitler Youth, into the fire as well.

Hitler leaves the bunker on March 20, 1945, to decorate child soldiers.

He takes this risk between two alerts to show the world that he's still alive.

Hitler asks: "Have you ever been wounded, my boy?"

Filmed for the newsreels, his shaking hand is edited out.

Fleeing from the freezing east, German refugees now number in the millions.

The last of the German resistance still holds out, day after day.

On April 20, 1945, Hitler is 56 years old.

Despite the danger, he returns to the Chancellery

where some of his followers urge him to leave the city while there's still time.

He replies: "I will never leave Berlin."

"Never. The end is here."

"I can go no further. Only death remains."

On April 23, where Zhukov's and Konev's armies advance through the capital,

Eva Braun manages to get a last letter to her sister Gretl.

She writes: "Every day, every hour, we wait for the end,

but we refuse to fall into enemy hands alive."

Where could Hitler be hiding?

On April 25, 1945, his mountain retreats are bombed by Allied planes.

The Berghof, the Fuhrer's beloved Berghof, is now in ruins.

The great bay from which he dominated the world is in American hands.

The French soldiers of the 2nd Armored Division occupy the Eagle's Nest.

Still, on April 25, Hitler's final blow comes

when Russian and American forces converge.

The war correspondents are delighted, like Lee Miller,

special correspondent for American fashion magazine Vogue,

overwhelmed by the Soviet female soldiers.

Another famous Red Army reporter, Roman Karmen, films Berlin,

completely surrounded, with the Russians advancing.

The inescapable countdown continues. On April 28, 1945,

Hitler learns of his friend Mussolini's violent death in northern Italy.

Executed by partisans, his body was trampled by the crowd, then hung by his feet.

Hitler says: "I didn't want to fall into enemy hands, dead or alive."

"After my death, my body must be burned and remain hidden forever."

In Berlin, during the night of April 28,

Hitler has a terrified city official dragged to his bunker

to officiate his marriage to Eva Braun.

She has finally gotten what she always wanted.

During a rare lull in the gunfire, on April 29, 1945,

Hitler leaves the bunker for a few moments.

He has just learned that the man he considered closest to him, Himmler,

is trying to negotiate with the Allies.

Concerned that Himmler might try to hand him over alive as a bargaining chip,

Hitler takes it out on his representative, SS General Hermann Fegelein,

whom he had married a year earlier to Gretl Braun. He has Fegelein shot.

Hitler still has his power, even though the Russians

are only 100 yards from the bunker.

Hitler is suspicious of the cyanide Himmler has given him.

Maybe it won't work.

He tests it on his dog Blondie, whom he has buried in a shell hole.

Then, at 2 a.m., he dictates his will to his secretary, Traudl Junge.

He proclaims: "I die with a happy heart."

"I charge the leaders of the nation to pursue the merciless opposition

to international Jewry."

On April 30, 1945, the Russians are at the Brandenburg Gate.

General Weidling tells Hitler there is no more hope.

Hitler gives the final order of his life to those still with him.

He says: "Try to leave the bunker. Continue the fight in the woods."

At 3.30 p.m., Hitler shoots himself in the head.

Eva Braun chooses cyanide. She says to a secretary:

"I prefer poison. I want to be a pretty corpse."

In front of the entrance to the bunker, the Russians discover

the jerry cans of gasoline that were used to burn the bodies of Hitler and Eva Braun,

and partially those of the Goebbels, identified by SS Linge, Hitler's valet.

There wasn't enough gasoline to burn the bodies of the Goebbels' six children,

murdered by their parents.

For some time during the Cold War, Stalin would spread the rumor that Hitler had escaped.

But the latest analyses prove, beyond a shadow of a doubt,

that he was indeed dead, as was Goebbels.

The Russians descended into the bunker, ransacked by the SS Guards before their escape.

Hitler gave them orders:

"Everything must be burned immediately. Everything in my steel cabinets."

"Destroy everything. You hear me? Everything."

On May 1, 1945, German radio broadcasts this statement.

Our Fuhrer, Adolf Hitler, has fallen, fighting to the last breath against Bolshevism.

A new mission for the children of the Reich.

On May 3, 1945, Hitler's victor, Soviet Marshal Georgy Zhukov,

prepares for a momentous event.

He's about to enter the Reich's chancellery.

In Hitler's office, he discovers the globe

that Chaplin had parodied in his film "The Great Dictator".

Hitler caused 60 million deaths.

What became of Hitler's accomplices, like the executioners of Babi Yar or Smolensk,

sentenced to death by hanging?

Himmler, the head of the SS, committed suicide.

Goering, head of the Air Force, committed suicide

to avoid being hanged at the Nuremberg trial.

Ribbentrop, the foreign minister, sentenced to death by hanging.

Keitel, chief of staff, hanged.

His deputy, Jodl, hanged.

Speer, minister of armament, 20 years in prison.

Field Marshal von Manstein, 18 years in prison.

Sepp Dietrich, SS general, life imprisonment, but soon released.

Leon Degrelle, the Belgian SS, died in exile in Malaga at almost 90.

Eva Braun's parents and her sister Gretl died in their beds,

like Hitler's secretaries.

And Morel, Hitler's doctor, died of a heart attack in 1948.
