As the Third Reich crumbles in the spring of 1945, this film follows the collapse from Hitler's underground command post in Berlin to the courtroom in Nuremberg where the survivors of his regime were made to answer for it. It traces the manhunt that followed the fall of the bunker, tracking Heinrich Himmler and Hermann Goring as each tries to slip out of Allied hands, one through disguise and false papers, the other into custody he hoped would spare him. Archival footage and expert interviews reconstruct the chaos of the last days in Berlin alongside the more deliberate, procedural drama of the Allies building a legal case against an entire regime rather than a single man. The film treats the Nuremberg Trials as the hinge of the story, the moment an international tribunal had to invent a way to prosecute crimes on a scale no court had faced before. It closes on the uneasy work of a continent trying to rebuild after the Holocaust.
