I liked this one but it could have been much shorter:
Hitler Speaks: Hitler’s Private Movies
http://www.documentarywire.com/hitler-speaks-hitlers-private-movies
On May 1st 1945 allied forces overtook Hitler’s private mountain retreat in Bavaria.
America’s OSS (office of strategic services) looking for evidence of Nazi war crimes uncovered a large archive of Hitlers private home movies.
Without sound they were useless as evidence of war crimes and remained archived for years.
Re-opened recently with the aid of 20th Century technology and skilled lip readers we can now hear what was said.
These videos offer a glimpse into the personal life of one of history’s most despised men.
There is only about 5 minutes of actual dubbed footage. The rest is just an effort to put the footage into historical and psychological context. It could have been done in 10 minutes, not 40.
The public Hitler was all an act carefully crafted. Hitler had a professional magician coaching him to to give speeches.
