Alexander Scourby narrates this documentary showing the rise and fall of Adolf Hitler. Produced by Henry Salomon and Richard Hanser. Musical score by Robert Russell Bennett. NBC news bulletins with Wilson Hall interrupts programming, stating that "President Eisenhower has broken off U.S. relations with Castro's Cuba." This program originally aired on March 14, 1956. NOTE: This was the second of over 30 different NBC PROJECT XX documentaries made for television (1954-1970). This broadcast depicts a chronicle of the rise and fall of Adolf Hitler, dictator of Germany. The story begins with scenes of Hitler as a shabby street-corner orator in Munich Germany. It shows his rise to a position of supreme power in his homeland and eventually in much of Europe. High Nazi officials are seen strutting about at the height of their success. Goering, Goebbels, Himmler and Hess are among the figures seen in addition to Adolph Hitler. Aside from newsreel shots of concentration camps there are reconstructed scenes of Nazi victims being prepared for extermination. There are scenes of mass Nazi rallies. As Nazi power begins to fail, there are scenes of Germans fleeing for shelter from "Allied bomb s. From a recent German movie comes re-enacted details of the abortive bomb lot against Hitler's life on July 20, 1944. Newsreels show Der Fuhrer being congratulated on his escape from death. But in fact his health is broken. While he broods in his bunker, Berlin falls in ruins above him. As the Russians advance on the doomed capitol Hitler takes his own life. An exceptional original music score is composed by Robert Russell Bennett to compliment and give impact to the visuals, and the narrative by Alexander Scourby is superb. He would continue to narrate over half of all Project XX events during its 16 year television cycle.

Order1968-02-27, NBC, 3 min.
October 29, 1956 - July 31, 1970 News report segment excerpt. CHET HUNTLEY: "American military headquarters in Saigon today imposed a battle censorship. From now on casualty figures on rounds which hit bases and their material would not be given up. The Objective is to keep the enemy from learning how effective attacks have been. Other military officials have said American bombing raids on North Viet Nam will be intensified in the next two months, and our rejection of peace efforts was given as the reason. In the Mekong Delta Southwest of Saigon, the Viet Cong struck an American artillery post yesterday, inflicting heavy casualties. Here is a report form NBC News correspondent, Wilson Hall." WILSON HALL: "At least five hundred well armed Viet Cong attacked the Ninth Division of Bravo Company. It was first a rein of mortars. Then the enemy charged the barbed wire perimeter. They had rockets. Rockets knocked out nine armored personnel carriers. One howitzer, and some trucks. Specialist fourth class Ralph Hirschler of Lamar Colorado was manning a 50 caliber machine gun on one tract that was damaged, but not badly." RALPH HIRSCHLER: "We were laid down and heard some sniper fire and looked up and then all just broke loose. We were wondering what to do. My guide behind his 50 got hurt, so I jumped behind my 50 and started putting out some lead and Charlie, he's behind a tank over here and I can't see him moving and kept putting lead out, about a thousand rounds. And, every time I looked around there were more Charly's everywhere, just coming right at us." WILSON HALL: "Were you scared?" RALPH HIRSCHLER: "You ain't kidding. I was really scared. But, I learned to not let it get the best of you. Just keep doing something to keep it from getting the best of you. So, I just kept firing my 50 to keep from getting more scared." WILSON HALL: "The Viet Cong got through the barbed wire in one place. They blew up one US bunker. Specialist fourth class John Ashby of Ventura California was on another armored carrier in the battle." JOHN ASHBY: "I was scared. I didn't realize they were right up to us. I don't know why they stopped, really, because they had us." WILSON HALL: "It was a bitter two-hour battle. Before the Viet Cong withdrew dragging all of their wounded, and many of their dead, there was still 94 enemy bodies on or just beyond the barbed wire. They left behind enumerable new and powerful weapons. The American's paid for their brave stand. Twenty were killed. Seventy one wounded.
