The Nazi high command at play at the "Eagle's Nest"
This 1987 four-hour documentary was produced for Dutch television and provides a unique perspective on Nazi Germany, choosing to focus on the Bavarian mountaintop retreat to show the leaders of the Third Reich at play. There is a fascinating irony to watching home movies of the Nazis at play, never forgetting for a moment the film we have seen all our lives of the concentration camps and world at war. "Eagle's Nest" also incorporates interviews with survivors of that time and place, but neither distancing device totally detaches us from the horrors of what was happening. Seeing the Nazis at their best, only adds another layer to their evil. The strength of this documentary is that it shows how the evil extended well beyond Hitler (who really did not like to be at this mountain retreat). There are four volumes in this series, each one approximately an hour long. Volume 2, "Europe Falls Before the Reich," traces the ascendancy of Nazi Germany in the early part of World War II.

The Eagle's Nest becomes the last refugee of the Nazis
This 1987 four-hour documentary was produced for Dutch television and provides a unique perspective on Nazi Germany, choosing to focus on the Bavarian mountaintop retreat to show the leaders of the Third Reich at play. There is a fascinating irony to watching home movies of the Nazis at play, never forgetting for a moment the film we have seen all our lives of the concentration camps and world at war. "Eagle's Nest" also incorporates interviews with survivors of that time and place, but neither distancing device totally detaches us from the horrors of what was happening. Seeing the Nazis at their best, only adds another layer to their evil. One final irony: this documentary relates that Hitler did not use his Obersalzberg retreat all that often; he was afraid of being trapped in the elevator that was the only way of reaching the Eagle's Nest. However, that becomes another strength of this documentary: showing how the evil extended well beyond the head of the monster. There are four volumes in this series, each one approximately an hour long. Volume 4, "The End of the Reich," details how the infamous Nazi retreat became the regieme's last refuge as Berlin was about to fall.
