Summary
SWASTIKA is the most controversial documentary about Hitler ever made. From producers Sanford Lieberson (Lisztomania, Jabberwocky), David Puttnam (Chariots of Fire) and director Philippe Mora (Mad Dog Morgan), the film utilizes intimate home movie footage shot by Eva Braun to present the private life of a dictator, going on picnics and joking with friends, displaying an affable face to the man labeled as pure evil by history. As the opening credits state, "If Hitler is dehumanized and shown only as a devil, any future Hitler may not be recognized, simply because he is a human being."
