Based on the most extensive compilation of archive material today, with almost half of it previously unpublished sources, Hitler's life is shown in detail against the social backdrop of the first half of the 20th century in a contemporary interpretation.

00:00:02:11 - A Ne'er-do-well and a Private (1889 - 1918)

When a young Hitler joins the Bavarian army and becomes a soldier and a patriot, for the first time he feels like he belongs. But when WW1 ends, he loses the only regular life he's known.

00:52:14:04 - A Revolutionary and an Ideologist (1919 - 1925)

Hitler's coup attempt in 1923 fails and he is arrested and jailed for over a year. He spends his time in prison writing Mein Kampf, an outlining of his political views.

01:41:29:02 - A Party Leader and a Mob Orator (1926 - 1932)

Out of prison Hitler establishes the NSDAP to achieve power by legal means. As its sole leader, he develops the party into a movement that soon becomes the strongest force in parliament.

02:30:34:02 - A Murd*rer (1933 - 1934)
