Den huvudsakliga källan beträffande just detta tycks vara William Shirer, amerikansk journalist som var verksam i Tredje Riket, dock inte under de sista krigsåren. Var han i sin tur fått informationen ifrån är än så länge oklart.
I krigets slutskede ansågs det av yttersta vikt att upprätthålla moralen och kampandan. Att visa den här typen av filmer i offentligheten, som snarare riskerar att väcka både obehag och tvivel, känns oerhört kontraproduktivt.
I artikeln jag länkar har du namnet på mannen som påstås ha filmat själva avrättningarna, samt han som filmade rättegången med gaphalsen som dömde dom. I texten finns även hänvisningar till chefen för
The German Resistance Memorial Center, Albert Speer och Hitlers privata adjutant Heinz Linge.
Slutsatsen är att avrättningarna troligen filmades, men detaljer om köttkrokar och pianotrådar har lagts till i efterhand.
The executions of August 8 have probably been recorded on film. The movie must have started with shots of the prisoners in their cells, shortly before the execution after which the hanging themselves were recorded. It is unclear however where the movie is today. The American intelligence agency, the Office of Strategic Services or OSS would probably have received information on the recordings and the method of execution but whether they eventually were in possession of the movies is unlikely. Walter Frenz, one of the best known movie makers in the Third Reich, thought after the war they still existed but Heinz Sasse, who had recorded the movie himself, didn't think so.
The movie allegedly would have been stored in a safe in the Ministry of Propaganda in Berlin on January 17, 1945 but after the war it had disappeared. For the time being, the material has not been recovered yet despite the efforts of TV companies that had searched the East-European archives after they had been opened to the public.
