During the tumultuous years of the 1930s and 1940s, as the world was embroiled in two world wars and political parades unfolded in Nuremberg and Moscow, some individuals were quietly capturing life’s moments in a medium largely overshadowed by classic black and white. Among these unheralded pioneers were notable figures like Eva Braun, Adolf Hitler’s companion, and Hans Baur, the Führer’s personal pilot. In their pursuit of personal pleasure or the documentation of significant historical events, they wielded the relatively new technology of color film, offering a unique perspective on a world in turmoil.

Their celluloid creations, now meticulously scanned in high-resolution HD, reveal an intimate and realistic glimpse into the public appearances and private life of the dictator at Obersalzberg. As we look back on the 20th century, these forgotten reels, tucked away in film archives and private collections, emerge as a testament to a shared passion. Whether it was Marlene Dietrich, Roosevelt’s Minister of Finance, soldiers of the Wehrmacht, or the cameramen of the OSS, they all played a role in painting history in vivid color, immortalizing moments that have endured through the generations.
