The Man Behind Hitler - 2006 - 7/10

Documentary on Joseph Goebbels, Nazi minster of propaganda.
Kenneth Branagh reads excerpts from Goebbels diary.
Newsreels, still photos try to “put you back” into the moment.
Extremely well done and essential for any WWII buff.

Two points I wondered about.

Keeping any sort of diary strikes me as risky, especially with such pointed entries.
The diaries survived intact!

Another thing. Goebbels was German, Branagh is British.
So what part of this “The American Experience” episode is U S of A related?
