fascists always end up falsifying the material because fascists tend to be just stupid, at least insofar as their fascism is concerned

This film seems to have little to do with reality. I think I'll just go dig out the recently declassified OSS psychoananysis of Hitler, which looks at his formative years in some detail.

If it isn't too much trouble, can you post some information on where these recently declassified documents might be accessed?

There was book that came out many years ago called "The Psychopathic God" (can't remember the author who I think was a psychologist) in which the author tried to claim that all of Hitler's crimes could be traced to his childhood and pre-adult years. According to the author supposedly Hitler witnessed so many horrendous things as a child that it influenced his later evil. My own view is that that notion is a crock and that Hitler did evil things because he was intrinsically evil.
