Film je rozdělen do dvou částí. První, vyprávěná prostřednictvím archivního materiálu, zkoumá pozadí rychlé porážky Francie v roce 1940 a odhaluje všudypřítomný antisemitismus a strach z bolševismu. Záběry z dob okupace dokládají, že velká část společnosti nejen akceptovala, ale i aktivně podporovala nacistické okupanty. Druhá část staví dobové záběry do ostrého protikladu se vzpomínkami pamětníků. Ophüls provokativními otázkami odhaluje šokující lhostejnost, s jakou tito lidé přistupují k důsledkům svých činů, a rozsah, v němž racionalizace a selektivní paměť ospravedlňují kolaboraci.

Když byl tento film poprvé promítán, vyvolal řadu protichůdných názorů. Smyslem tohoto filmu není popisovat dějiny Třetí říše. Pojednává o vztahu Adolfa Hitlera k německému národu, o okolnostech, které Hitlera formovaly a umožnily mu vzestup - i o jeho přívržencích. Kolik lidí jej vlastně podporovalo?

Myths die hard, and the history of the 20th century is no exception to this rule. Even today, we hold popular beliefs that we take for Evangelical truths. Thus, we believe that Hiroshima caused Japan to surrender, that the Marshall Plan saved Europe, that Adolf Hitler was a military genius, or that Mao Zedong was a necessary evil for China’s modernization. Of course, these judgements contain some truth; but, too broad-stroked to be accurate, they contradict the historical reality by denying its complexity. What if the truth was slightly different? Through an exploration of great national or international myths, this full archive documentary collection revisits the key moments of the 20th century with a new perspective in order to provide a new, smarter and more subtle interpretation, bringing elements to light that have been forgotten or sometimes overshadowed.
