plot synopsis:
This documentary deals with the plan for "Germania", the new capital of the thousand-year-empire. Hitler's megalomania not only affected his war of conquest but also the architecture in his own country. Berlin was supposed to be rebuild, but after the first air-raids of the allies, the work was stopped.
