SBS has secured Australian broadcast rights for two new factual series: Hitler’s Secret Sex Life and How the Nazis Lost the War.
The two series, produced by EQ Media and distributed by Abacus Media Rights are currently in the final stages of production and are expected to air on SBS later this year.
Hitler’s Secret Sex Life (4×60’): The psychology of Adolf Hitler – and the whole Nazi movement – is a topic that’s generated great debate, endless academic research and speculation. Hitler’s Secret Sex Life distils the latest theories and insights. Each episode is vividly illustrated with archive from the Nazi era, some of it relatively rare, accompanied by in-depth interviews with historians, psychologists, and sociologists.
How the Nazis Lost the War (6×60’): World War II military documentaries are largely told through the eyes of the conquerors. There is no end to stories of the valiant Allies fighting against the odds to bring the evil Nazis to heel and rid the world of their tyranny. But there is another story to be told. In this series we examine the poor decision-making, hubris, and badly executed plans that belied the myth of Nazi war machine and doomed them to their ultimate failure.
In addition to Australia, the two series have been sold internationally to A+E Networks® UK channels, Sky HISTORY in the UK and HISTORY® in Sweden, Poland and Benelux in 2020.
Brendan Dahill, General Manager for EQ Media said:
“We are delighted to be working again with our partners at Abacus Media Rights, SBS Australia and A+E Networks® to create two series that offer fresh perspective and insight. As the world becomes ever more insular it is good to remind ourselves of the sins of the past.”
