Unsolved History: Inside Hitler's Bunker (2004)

Documentary. The most comprehensive analysis of Hitler's bunker's construction and his last days yet, if still unsatisfyingly vague and inconclusive on key details. A sonar and lidar survey of the largely sealed site of Hitler's final bunker -- now covered by a parking lot -- enabled a digital reconstruction of the entire complex, frequently with the aid of testimony from two surviving staff members (a driver and a courier). This program presents the deepest penetration I have yet seen of the bunker's secrets and Hitler's last days, though what is not known is still big enough to fill the bunker that Germany would like to forget. 4 stars.
