Recording Evil is a groundbreaking series that transforms our understanding of the Holocaust and World War II through the previously unseen transcripts of secret recordings of German soldiers and officers from one of the British Army’s largest ever covert surveillance operations. It lays bare the mechanics of mass murder—as told in the candid words of those who orchestrated it.

During World War II, the British Army planted hidden microphones among their German POWs. Although the original plan was to gather Hitler’s military secrets, the casual conversations between prisoners revealed so much more.

Buried for decades, the shocking revelations in this premium three-part documentary are weaved together with cinematic visuals and gripping storytelling to shatter long-standing myths about the Nazi war machine. At the same time, it uncovers the heartbreaking story of the ‘secret listeners’ whose work was never made public. That is, until now.
