ABOUT ME: I came to Los Angeles in 2012 after serving six years in the U.S. Army as a Military Intelligence Officer. I specialize in high concept features and television.

SYNOPSIS:

The Nuremberg trials take place and videos taken by Allied forces show Jews being tortured and killed at various concentration camps. Human suffering is shown at its worse as the assailants—the Nazi leaders—are tried and executed for crimes against humanity.

Adolf Hitler, small and fragile is introduced during an argument with his father about becoming a civil servant. Adolf Hitler just wants the freedom to make his own decisions.

When Germany loses World War I the local economy is upturned causing social unrest. Adolf Hitler begins speaking in the beerhalls to gather support for his cause—the revolt against bolshevism and the Jewish Question.

After months of economic and social unrest, Hitler and his party devises a putsch, or a coup, to take over the German government. The putsch failed and Hitler was jailed but declared a political hero.

After Hitler is released from prison, he returns to speaking at the beerhall circuit but is reinforced with a revamped political party of which he is made the leader. Shortly thereafter, through political maneuvers and mishaps, Hitler becomes Chancellor of Germany.

Hitler and the Nazi party make a trip to the 1936 Olympic games and receive full support from Germany—they’re national heroes. A few years later, Germany invades Poland sparking a World War with Great Britain and France.

After invading Poland, Hitler invades Czechoslovakia and is in position to take over Europe. However, the United States enters the war and Russia begins to launch a counteroffensive to turn the tides of the war. Assassination attempts on Hitler become a common occurrence.

The Russian counteroffensive begins to push German forces back. German Army leaders begin to complain about attrition and consider surrender but Hitler refuses causing a military crisis through the unnecessary sacrifice of lives of his soldiers. Hitlers’ military leaders begin to turn on him.

After losses in the Avranches and the Ardennes, the German Army begins to suffer terrible military losses. Russia takes Poland. Hitler moves all of his activities to a military bunker. As Hitlers army begins to lose the war, his military leaders commit suicide to avoid capture while Hitler considers takin his own life.

All efforts to defeat the Allied forces fade away and Hitler decides to take his life as the Russians get closer to his bunker. Hitler, and his wife Eva Braun, take their own lives to avoid capture by the Russians—their bodies are later cremated.

The remaining German forces surrender their troops and the world celebrates. Photos and videos of the world rejoicing are shown.
