Private Notes
Historical documentary telling the definitive story of Hitler's final hours as told by the people who were there. The programme features exclusive interviews originally filmed in 1948 - only recently rediscovered after 65 years and never before seen in the UK - with the inner circle who were trapped with Hitler in his bunker as the Russians fought to take Berlin. Parts of the bunker are rebuilt according to this eyewitness testimony in order to forensically chart the last hours, days and minutes of the Fuhrer's life.
In the summer of 1953, Britain’s renowned wartime leader is two years into his second term as Prime Minister. After he suffers a life-threatening stroke, news of his condition is kept a secret from the public, and he is taken to the family home of Chartwell to recuperate. As his wife Clemmie begs him to give up on politics and the cabinet schemes for his replacement, Churchill fights for his health and his position in government.
