Not only since Adolf Hitler's death were numerous attempts made to get closer to the man from Braunau in Upper Austria and to explain the "phenomenon" Adolf Hitler. But his biography has never been told like this: In the documentary film WER WAR HITLER, in addition to brief localizations by a narrator, only contemporaries and Hitler himself have their say: no interviews, no re-enactment, no explanatory graphics and technical gimmicks. Statements from diaries, letters, speeches and autobiographies are combined with new, often unpublished archive material. Hitler's life and work is reflected in a unique way in the social image of the years 1889 to 1945.
