Hitler's SS: Portrait in Evil 1985 Directed by Jim Goddard

Brother is pitted against brother under the shadow of the Third Reich.

The two-part TV movie Hitler's SS: Portrait in Evil crystallizes that evil by concentrating on two Berlin brothers.

At the same time, his younger brother Karl, a top athlete and idealist, becomes a chauffeur for the "S.A.".
