Rise of the Nazis: The Downfall
Hitler's Birthday
Season 3 Episode 2 of 3
At the end of March 1945, with the Germany Army depleted and Hitler's circle of trust shrinking, he invites a group of Hitler Youth to the Reich Chancellery to be congratulated. Nazi Germany is on the brink of collapse and with Berlin under daily bombardment, Hitler has permanently retreated to his bunker, a series of 30 cramped rooms under the Reich Chancellery, where night and day merge into one. As his life becomes increasingly bizarre, Hitler and Joseph Goebbels look for signs from German folklore that fate will intervene
