Hitler's bodyguard

Nugas, Philip, television director2008English
How did Adolf Hitler manage to survive more than 40 assassination attempts - some by his own generals? Using captured SS documents and eyewitness interviews, this documentary series reveals the secrets of the elite bodyguards who swore loyalty oaths to the Führer himself. It explains how Hitler cultivated rivalries among his security services to ensure his safety, and how his purposefully unpredictable behavior saved his life several times. Carefully assembled archival footage offers rare glimpses inside Hitler's infamous strongholds - the Berghof, the Wolf's Lair, and the Berlin bunker. Computer-generated graphics detail the security measures used in his trains, planes, and touring cars. And meticulous re-enactments bring lost incidents to life. In 13 riveting episodes, this Military Channel favorite brings fresh, fascinating context to the 20th century's most evil and destructive tyrant.
