The Third Reich in Private: Episode 1 – The Rise of Hitler

They lived in seclusion from their subjects, guarded around the clock by the security service. For a long time, little was known about the private lives of the Nazi leaders. It was only after the fall of the Third Reich that more and more details came to light: film footage and photos showing the everyday lives of Adolf Hitler, Eva Braun and Hermann Göring.

After the end of the Second World War, many legends persist about the life of Adolf Hitler. The dictator’s surviving accomplices claim that Hitler alone was responsible for the war and genocide. But what is there to the speculation that he was a psychopath, a mental patient or a pervert? Is it true that he was incapable of human emotions, friendships or even romantic relationships? In fact, the dictator maintained a large number of close contacts and friendships – especially with women. In this episode, we examine Hitler’s relationships with a succession of younger women.
