Rommel
In November 1943 Hitler moves Rommel and his Army Group B headquarters to Normandy. The task is the defense of the French coast against the long-anticipated Allied invasion. In Normandy, Rommel notices the incomplete state of the defensive fortifications, the slow pace of constructing the Atlantic Wall, and the lack of preparedness of the defending units mostly comprised of poorly-trained conscripts. Appalled by this Rommel urges his troops to hasten the pace of the Atlantic Wall construction and he begs the German High Command to place more veteran battle-hardened divisions under his command. He especially wishes to have panzer divisions and SS divisions at his disposal for a powerful counter-attack against Allied landings. Hitler refuses to release the vital panzer divisions to Rommel's command and to make matters worse, Rommel gets wind of a possible assassination plot against Hitler.

Satan Wants You
Michelle Smith and her therapist Dr. Lawrence Pazder wrote the best selling non-fiction book "Michelle Remembers" in 1980 about he using repressed memory therapy to uncover that she, in her pre-school age years in the mid-1950s, had been abused by a satanic cult partly at the hands of her mother. Purportedly, the cult not only abused her, but used sacrifice of human babies as part of their rituals. The role of the book in the explosion of what is called the "Satanic Panic" of the 1980s is presented, some referring to the book as the proverbial "patient zero" of the issue. The issue is the extraordinary number of a cases of child abuse purported to be at the hands of satanic cults, and often, like MIchelle's, discovered through repressed memory therapy, these subsequent cases referring back to items discussed in "Michelle Remembers" as proof of what happened. This documentary also discusses the lives of Smith and Pazder themselves and the veracity of the claims in the book, which becomes even more questionable in what is seen as the highly inappropriate relationship between the two, both in and out of therapy, the latter in that they, both married to others at the time, subsequently marrying each other. Also adding to the questioning of the veracity and their motives is that they both became famous and lived the high life on the speaking circuit, including on talk shows, as supposed experts on the issue of the effect of satanic cults on adult survivors of such.
