A History Channel documentary on an unpublished sequel to Mein Kampf airs on Sunday February 27th 2005 at 8 PM

Hitler’s Lost Plan, a documentary by Veriscope Pictures tells the little known story of Adolf Hitler’s unpublished sequel to Mein Kampf. For years historians and others have wondered what Hitler’s true intentions were. Did his territorial ambitions end in Europe? Did he truly believe his rhetoric, or was he simply an opportunist whose only true goal was power?

Hitler’s Lost Plan lays helps answer these questions by revealing the significance of a unedited secret book Hitler wrote in 1928 but locked in a safe and never published. Athough he was far from power, Hitler laid out his foreign policy intentions and his justification for all that will follow. It is his clearest statement of why history demanded that he begin a series of never ending wars. It reveals why Hitler’s concience was clear, why he believed that no atrocity was too great in pursuit of his goals. And it reveals why eleven years before the war began, Hitler already intended to attack America. The documentary offers a remarkable look into Hitler’s mind and the true nature of Nazi ideology.

The documentary features of the work of the world renown scholar Gerhard Weinberg who first discovered the manuscript in 1958 among German captured war documents. Dr. Weinberg is the editor " Hitler’s Second Book," the first reliable English-language translation of the manuscript. He is also the author of "The World at Arms" and numerous books on German foreign policy. The film also includes interviews with historians Omer Bartov, Norman Goda, Dennis Showalter, and Claudia Koonz.
