France TV - Hitler's Last Secrets (2016)

On November 25, 1945, a French officer got his hands on unique documents in the bunker of the Reich Chancellery. These elements make it possible to shed some light on the circumstances of the death of Adolf Hitler and his companion, Eva Braun. Hour by hour, this documentary retraces the gestures and words of the Fuhrer, before he took his own life during the afternoon of April 30.
Just days before his suicide on April 30, 1945, Hitler was holed up in a bunker in Berlin with Eva Braun and his inner circle. Wavering between despair and rage, the Fuhrer lived his final moments haunted by the treachery of some and the cowardice of others. In this end-of-an-era atmosphere, his twilight – played out behind closed doors – has long been bathing in shadow. Historians thought they had consulted all the existing, accessible archives. Thanks, however, to Commandant Raymond Rose (a French officer, now deceased) and a French collector, new archives, both private and political, have been revealed for the first time. These unique documents give us detailed analysis of the final days of Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun. They deliver an embedded perspective of the sinister countdown: hour by hour, day by day, this documentary will tell us everything the Fuhrer said, wrote, and thought before he shot himself in the head that fateful afternoon of April 30, 1945. These documents are letters, telegrams (between itler and Goering), and transcriptions of conversations inside the bunker. They shed new light on the final throes of the Nazi death machine.
