The home movies Hitler never wanted you to see.
The film shows newsreel items from the 1920s on through World War 2, and the Nuremberg trials for people considered responsible for war crimes, and crimes against humanity.

The courtroom trials serve as a parade in which each person is identified by name, and occasionally to his sentence of responsibility denial.
