Philippe Mora – Swastika (1973)

“Man or monster? That’s one of the most frequent questions film-makers dealing with the rise of Hitler have had to ask themselves. Humanise him and you risk serving up a trite explanation for the horrors he committed against the world. Treating him like the Devil risks transforming him into a symbol that undermines mankind’s sickening capacity for evil. When the documentary Swastika was first screened at the Cannes film festival in 1973 it caused such outrage that the screening had to be stopped. The reason? It was made up of archive footage of Hitler engaging in banal, normal, everyday activities such as playing with children on a holiday retreat – footage that showed a human side difficult to reconcile with his unspeakable crimes.”“Produced by David Puttnam (Chariots of Fire, Bugsy Malone, The Killing Fields), Swastika is the most controversial documentary about Hitler and the Nazis ever made. Using propaganda footage and colour home movies made by Hitler’s fiancée Eva Braun, Swastika portrays the human side of Adolf Hitler. That a man can orchestrate the Holocaust and yet still enjoy passing the time on a sun lounger makes Hitler more real, and more chilling. Told exclusively through archive footage Swastika leaves you to draw your own conclusions about Hitler…”
