Brutalität in Stein (1961)

English title: Brutality in Stone.

Synopsis and Appraisal: The Nazi party's headquarters in Nuremberg are shown; excerpts of Hitler's speeches are heard ("only narrow minds see our revolution as bringing only destruction; I see it as a gigantic reconstruction"); excerpts of the Auschwitz commander's memoirs are read; Hitler's housing plans for the bombing victims are explained ("a hole in the ground with a wooden plank for a lid"). It anticipates Undergångens arkitektur (1989).
