Trivia
The sequence with Sir Derek Jacobi as Adolf Hitler admiring the interiors of the new Chancellery building were achieved by combining Jacobi's movements with original still photographs of the actual building.

Goofs
Fritz Todt is shown wearing a Luftwaffe colonel's uniform the night before his fatal plane crash in 1942. This is an error. At the beginning of the war he was appointed a Major General in the Luftwaffe on the basis of his service as a pilot in WWI. He would either have worn this rank or, more likely, his organization's own uniform.

Inside The Third Reich A Great Movie

Inside The Third Reich is a great movie. Of course the central character of the movie is Hitler played by Sir Derik Jacoby. He does a masterful job of portraying Hitler. From reading a lot about the Third Reich time period and Speer's book, the film is true to the book, and to history.Many people have wondered why Speer was not hanged at Nurenberg. I think I know why the court spared him when the others were hanged. He was one of the few remaining Nazis that could attempt to explaining Hitler from a human point of view. The movie is fast moving and gripping. A great screen occurs at a lavish party when Hitler makes Blythe Danner(Speer' wife)shudder as he kisses her hand and fawns over her. She says to her husband Speer, I may attend parties for him but I will not have him in my house! This is one movie you will want in your house.
