The American Führer

They still exist: Unknown stories from the time of National Socialism. The story of the fascist imposter, Fritz Julius Kuhn, is one of those.

A German emigrant who stylized himself as Hitler's deputy in America in the 1930s, marching his troops through American cities and filling Madison Square Garden with supporters. Neither Hitler nor the FBI can stop him. In the end, a love affair brings him down. With the help of Kuhn's distinctive propaganda and the overwhelming press response, the documentary tells the unusual story of propaganda in the USA.
