Hitler's Niece

The fact that Hitler's niece, Geli Raubal, was found dead in his apartment in 1931 has remained a little-known footnote in the Fuhrers long and bloody legacy. The investigation, carried out in haste and then quickly resolved, concluded that she had committed suicide using her uncle's revolver. But many people have placed doubt on the official verdict, claiming that the truth was covered up by the Nazi party itself. This episode explores the strange and sometimes disturbing relationship between Hitler and Geli. While through dramatic reconstructions, expert interviews and original police files, it investigates whether Geli died at her own hands or was the tragic victim of Hitler's overbearing affections.
