The Man Who Crossed Hitler is a 2011 BBC film set in Berlin in the summer of 1931, dramatising the true story in which a lawyer, Hans Litten, subpoenaed Adolf Hitler as a witness in the trial of some Nazi thugs. Hitler has formally renounced the use of political violence and the young lawyer sees a chance to expose the Nazi leader's deceptions to the German establishment, thereby discrediting Hitler and the Nazi Party.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] The film was given an alternative title Hitler on Trial which was used when the Public Broadcasting Service in the United States aired the work.[9] [10]
