The film Hitler: A Film from Germany traces the life of Adolf Hitler and the history of Nazism in Germany, from his political rise to the regime's collapse in 1945. Rather than a traditional biography, Syberberg uses a theatrical and experimental approach, combining actors, puppets, projections, and voice overs. It depicts the dictatorship, World War II, and the Holocaust, while exploring the fascination and myth surrounding Hitler in German culture. The film examines Hitler's role in history and collective memory through symbolic tableaux and stylized scenes rather than realistic reenactments.
