Last Days of the Nazis

In 1945, the Allies begin to interrogate Nazi war criminals, party officials, and even minor figures, including Julius Streicher, Albert Speer, Rudolph Hoess and Karl Gephardt, whose testimony illustrates the early days of the regime.

As post-war Germany lies in physical and moral ruin, Julius Streicher tries to rationalize his part in the Final Solution; Hitler Youth members Melita Maschmann and Armin Lehman recall Kristallnacht (the Night of Broken Glass).

Allied interrogators try to find the truth behind the crimes of the Third Reich; War Gen. Wilhelm Keitel insists German soldiers acted honorably; a chemist tries to make executions easier on the executioners.

Allies are horrified to uncover evidence of unprecedented Nazi brutality and send interrogators to Auschwitz to ferret out the truth.

SS Gen. Von Dem Bach-Zelewski provides details of the Warsaw Uprising; Albert Speer claims he turned against Hitler and plotted treason; Melita Maschmann continues to defend the Nazis.
