Any Pro Hitler Movies?


Of course Hollywood and everyone hates Hitler for the massacre of Jews etc and one can see numerous movies on this issue. My personal favorite is 'Life is beautiful'.
However, to reach to the extent of killing people, ill treating them without showing any mercy, Nazis must had unprecedented anger against Jews. Is there any movie on the rise of hitler, the versai treaty and falling economy of germany post WW I and before WWII ? (Please do not suggest documentaries)

Here's a movie putting Nazis in a good light and show how much more evil the Japanese Empire was: City of War: The Story of John Rabe http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1124377/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1. Regardless of your stance I can only recommend it. It stars Steve Buscemi!

I did some digging. Apparently there ARE documentaries about Hitler's early life (Birth to becoming Führer):

well on Arte there are lots of documentaries about the whole life of Hitler ( Arte is a french-german channel) I saw one in may as every year around the 8th of may they broadcast many stuff about WWII. Imdb is supposed to be "international" but it's mostly US so it will be difficult to found europeans docs.
Also about psychological inside, remember that the book of Hitler " Mein Kampf" is now in public domain (since 2016), so I guess you'll be able to buy the book from your library with explanation: editors republished this book this year but aside from the text of Hitler, lots of explanation of why /how , what happened at the time etc..

I sure that Joseph Goebbels produced many of them. I seriously doubt they will be unbiased however.

These propaganda films aren't my thing, but they are of certain interest to historians. Check your local university library if you want to see them.

Triumph of the Will is a pro-Hitler movie. It's actually a 1930's propaganda film. I can't think of any others.
