More than any other historical documents, It is the personal private letters written by a people to "their" dictator that provide the most intimate glimpses of the history of the Third Reich. A treasure of more than 100,000 such letters were recently found, hidden in a secret Russian archive. The uncensored letters reveal the true feelings of the German people - their hopes, longings and fears; also love letters, declarations of loyalty, birthday wishes and the occasional word of protest. Like a seismograph, it mirrors the change in mood in Nazi Germany, providing a reflection of the German spirit in the years from 1932 to 1945. A.K.A. Dear Uncle Adolf.

Hitler occupies a central place in the documentary.
The Second World War. Spring 1944. Salamander, an old diplomat and a young commando Marek are parachuted into Nazi-occupied Poland. Salamander presents Churchill’s proposal to the leaders of the Polish underground: An agreement with the Soviets that will give Russia half of the territory of pre-war Poland, inhabited by ethnic minorities – Ukrainians, Belarusians and Latvians – but will allow the truncated country to maintain its independence. However, the diplomat is considered a traitor, poisoned and, as a result, paralyzed. What’s worse, betrayal is lurking everywhere – even Marek’s fiancée turns out to be a Soviet agent… Desperate Marek saves Salamander, taking him by plane to London along with the German V-2 rocket (captured by Polish intelligence). However, due to the delay, they reach Churchill too late. The Red Army has already entered Poland and a communist puppet government is established, completely subordinated to the Soviets.

Sergei Govorukhin, son of well known Soviet and Russian film director Stanislav Govorukhin, was a Russian scriptwriter and war correspondent. This is his first and only documentary, dealing with his feelings about the first war he covered - the first Chechen war - as well as his very cynical view of Russian society during this time. These feelings and opinions were shared by many other war correspondents and cameramen at the time. The author used heavily contrasting footage and sound to illustrate his point of the indifference of 90's/early 2000's Russian society towards the conflicts it found itself in after the Second World War.
