I'm sure the court transcript is mostly fictional here as it likely doesn't exist anymore, but it's based on truth. It's overly provocative and I can't imagine Litton overtly accusing Hitler as much as he does in this TV drama and getting away with it as much as he did here, but the dramatisation overall makes a point. Hitler was challenged by the law in this historical case, so it's symbolic and based on a true story. That's enough for me. A bit better than I expected, well acted and dramatised. A hidden gem, if you can suspend actual legal transcript a bit. Litton was arrested after the Reichstag fire and suffered for 5 years at Dachau before despair finally cost him his life. A sad symbolic story of the fall of the law in Nazi Germany. 9/10.
