The Man Who Crossed Hitler SYNOPSIS

One-off drama that tells the little-known story of a Jewish lawyer who put Adolf Hitler in the witness box. In the summer of 1931, audacious prosecutor Hans Litten (Ed Stoppard) summons rising politician Hitler (Ian Hart) to testify in the trial of a group of Nazi thugs, despite the risk to his own safety and against the advice of those close to him.

He aimed to expose the fascist party leader`s true character and politics - but it was an ordeal that could not be forgotten and for which Litten paid the ultimate price. Bill Paterson, Anton Lesser, Sarah Smart and Ruth McCabe also star
