World War: The Deaths of Franz Ferdinand and Adolf Hitler

One bullet sparked World War I and indirectly led to the rise of Nazism in the war’s aftermath. Another bullet, fired 31 years later, ended Nazi rule and World War II in Europe. This riveting, highly realistic program cinematically dramatizes each stage of the grim events surrounding the assassination of Franz Ferdinand and the suicide of Adolf Hitler—from the start of the Archduke’s ill-fated car trip through Sarajevo to the Führer’s final hours in his Berlin bunker as Soviet forces raced to fly a red flag from the roof of the Reich Chancellery, the seat of Nazi power. Original BBCW broadcast title: The Assassination of Archduke Ferdinand and the Death of Hitler. (52 minutes)
