In a superb, BAFTA-winning performance, supported by a cast of over 100, Frank Finlay takes on the title role in this disturbingly authentic portrayal of Hitler's final days in the Berlin Bunker - from his birthday on April 20th to his suicide ten days later. Pre-dating later dramatisations of the subject by more than ten years, The Death of Adolf Hitler was written by Vincent Tilsley and also features Carole Mortimer as Eva Braun, Tony Steedman as General Jodl and Michael Sheard as Heinrich Himmler.
Berlin, April 1945: with his 'thousand year Reich' in ruins and Allied forces advancing on the devastated capital, Adolf Hitler spends the last ten days of his life with the most trusted members of his inner circle and his loyal mistress, Eva Braun, in the confines of his private bunker. While the delusion of victory continues to animate him, his limitless hatred and rage are turned towards his generals, and all those who, he believes, have betrayed him.
