Germany 1933-1934: Hitler’s Rise to Power I SLICE HISTORY

In November 1945, a French officer entered the ruins of Hitler’s Chancellery and recovered documents scattered inside the underground bunker. Kept private for decades, these political and personal archives shed new light on the final days of the Third Reich. Through letters, telegrams and eyewitness accounts, the film reconstructs life inside the Führerbunker as Soviet forces closed in on Berlin. The documents reveal Eva Braun’s decision to remain with Hitler, the moment the couple resolved to die, Hermann Göring’s attempt to assume power and Hitler’s final orders before his suicide on April 30, 1945. They also expose how Stalin’s silence over the discovery of Hitler’s body helped fuel decades of escape theories.

In May 1940, Germany’s invasion of the Netherlands and Belgium drew the strongest British and French forces north. The real blow then came through the Ardennes, where German armored divisions broke through, reached the Channel coast, and trapped the Allied armies against the sea.

Under constant air attack, nearly 338,000 British, French and Belgian troops escaped, while thousands of others fought, died or were captured buying them time.

World War II transformed the lives of women across Britain and Germany. Amateur films and personal testimony reveal how war changed work, family life, relationships and expectations, as women entered factories, farms, hospitals and military service in unprecedented numbers. In Britain, women faced conscription, bombing and long separations from husbands and children. In Nazi Germany, women were shaped by propaganda, racial ideology and the demands of total war, while others endured persecution, deportation and Auschwitz. Through rare home movies and eyewitness accounts, the film captures how women experienced the conflict from 1939 to 1945 and how profoundly it altered their lives.

The War in the Pacific was born from a growing struggle between Japan and the United States for influence and control in East Asia. Japan’s rapid industrialisation, lack of natural resources and expansionist ambitions brought it into direct conflict with the American and British colonial powers. As tensions escalated, the American trade embargo left Japan facing a stark choice: accept American demands or go to war. The result was the attack on Pearl Harbor and the opening of a vast conflict across the Pacific and Southeast Asia. The final stages of the war brought another decisive moment: the use of the atomic bomb and Japan’s eventual surrender. But victory did not bring stability. The struggle over who would control the region helped shape the political conflicts that would lead to the Korean, Vietnam and Cambodian wars.

In 1979, religion returned to the center of global politics. From the Islamic Revolution in Iran and the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan to the rise of Ronald Reagan, the election of Pope John Paul II, and the growing symbolic weight of Jerusalem, a new era began to take shape. Across East and West alike, political leaders, militants, and regimes started using faith not as private belief, but as a force of history. This documentary traces the moment when religion reentered the geopolitical battlefield and began to reshape alliances, revolutions, and wars. As old Cold War ideologies lost their monopoly, a new political language emerged, one that would transform the Middle East, unsettle the global balance of power, and leave a lasting mark on the decades that followed.
