This BBC documentary examines the reality behind the seemingly well-structured and ordered Nazi party in government. Despite the regimented displays and the image of the dictator Führer, the government was actually more chaotic. It covers the elimination of Röhm and the bureaucratic setups and rivalries within the main government building. It analyzes how ideas and policies often arose through rival party officials vying for influence and favor with Hitler and formulating policies based on what they thought he wanted and on vague ideas or statements from Hitler. It also considers how the Gestapo could not have worked so effectively without the support or information from the population, and it analyzes many surviving examples of letters sent to the authorities denouncing neighbors or relatives, including an interview with a woman who wrote such a letter. It also analyzes how the policy of official euthanasia for children and adults with mental or physical disabilities and attitudes toward anyone who was 'different' in some way arose.
