Did you know? In an eerie nod to alternate history, the film’s “Day of Thanksgiving” is celebrated with a ritual burning of Allied flags, but the holiday’s date is the same as the real-world anniversary of the Nuremberg Trials’ opening.
Why Watch: Forget everything you think you know about WWII history—*Verily Hitler Is Dead* delivers a chilling, mind-bending alternate reality where the Nazis won and Europeans are forced to atone for the "crimes" of victory. This thought-provoking film masterfully blends dark satire with haunting drama, turning a twisted Thanksgiving holiday into an unforgettable critique of guilt, morality, and memory. If you crave bold, provocative cinema that challenges the very foundations of history, this is a must-watch.
On the shores of the Baltic Sea in a unified Europe, a nation marks Thanksgiving Day—the most sacred holiday since the denazification reforms of the late 1960s, enacted nearly twenty years after World War II ended in a Nazi victory. Having condemned the atrocities of the regime, Europeans now carry the weight of the victors’ guilt.
