LatestJanuary 1944: The German army is crumbling on every front. As they flee, the German soldiers destroy the evidence of their heinous crimes. It is not enough to conceal the macabre reality of the death camps to the Red Army advancing in Reich territory. At the Berghof, the Führer’s inner circle is too busy celebrating the wedding of Eva Braun’s sister to see the Allied landing coming, surprising all German predictions.
Summer 1943: Hitler engages in a decisive battle in Kursk to win the war in the East. This is without counting on the pugnacity of the Red Army and the Allied intervention in the West. Month after month, the noose tightens on the Nazi tyrant who refuses to admit defeat and precipitates his country in its fall.

The directors previously made 'Apocalypse: World War II' — this narrower focus on Hitler's psychology replaces epic scope with claustrophobic inevitability.
