On March 20, 1945, the last film recordings of the German "Führer" Adolf Hitler are made:
In the garden of the Reich Chancellery, Hitler awards Iron Crosses to 20 child soldiers of the so-called "Hitler Youth", who had previously distinguished themselves militarily as the last contingent on the Eastern Front, and allows himself to be filmed for the "Wochenschau"...:
The 55 year old becomes like an 80 year old man!
He can no longer walk upright, but only shuffles slowly, bent over, and saliva runs from the corners of his mouth.
In addition, Hitler is made by his personal physician Theodor Morell...
... extremely dependent on medication (constant combinations of stimulants and tranquilizers) and suffers from an advanced stage of Parkinson's disease.
He can no longer control his left hand - it is shaking so badly that he tries to hide it behind his back and presses it tightly against his body to hide the shaking.
Arthur Axmann, the "Reichsjugendfuhrer" behind Hitler, makes every effort to shield his trembling hand from the camera - but it can still be seen briefly...:
