The Third Reich in Private: Episode 3 – Living with the Horror

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.
