Hitler's Secret Sex Life

This could have been a great documentary. For some reason, the producers decided to spread 90 minutes (max) of content over 4 episodes. The result is a painfully repetitive series with a bit of new info in each episode diluted in a pool of repeat images and info. The title is also misleading. While the issue of Hitler's odd sexual preferences is addressed, this is not the central theme. There is his use of drugs, his manipulative and oppressive relationships with women and childhood traumas. It is important to know more about such an important figure in history who caused so much harm to humanity. Unfortunately, this poorly produced series squandered its opportunity.

There are 4 episodes but they can be reduced to one episode. They basically repeat the stories and lines in every episode so much that I thought i have loaded the wrong episode. There is no logic accesseion to the episodes but just a wok of stir-fry placed on 4 plates. The documentary runs on mostly rumors and spoon feeds viewers with soap opera stories abt Hitler.

This is a poorly made, dull documentary that offers zero interesting insight into his life.

The secret sex life they talk about basically includes a) info that has been widely known for ages and b) a wild and unsubstantiated claim he liked being urinated on.

Most of the talking heads on the show offer zero interesting takes beyond the fact he had a rubbish and abusive childhood.

What a true waste of time and energy.

It's an educational and interesting approach to explain Hitler's character. It's a new approach to analyze his actions and the question of nature vs nurture. What I found disturbing were some of the allegations to his sexuality but its up to the viewers discretion. You might like it or hate it.

This 4 part series could have been condensed to 1 episode, and would still have been mediocre. A few interesting points were made, but the documentary was largely speculative and based on very limited source material.
