Interesting facts

The Nazi Plan is a 1945 documentary film, compiled from extensive footage of captured Nazi propaganda and newsreel image and sound recordings. It was produced and presented as evidence at the Nuremberg Trials for Hermann Göring and twenty other Nazi leaders.

Background

The Nazi Plan was shown as evidence at the International Military Tribunal (IMT) in Nuremberg on December 11, 1945. It was compiled by Budd Schulberg and other military personnel, under the supervision of Navy Commander James B. Donovan. The compilers took pains to use only German source material, including official newsreels and other German films (1919–45).

In the course of this work, Budd Schulberg apprehended Leni Riefenstahl at her country home in Kitzbühl, Austria, as a material witness, and took her to the Nuremberg editing room, so she could help Budd identify Nazi figures in her films and in other German film material his unit had captured.
