ABOUT ABOUT
Nazi Germany placed large orders for Swedish granite before and during World War II. It was to be used in the building of 'Germania', the new world capital. Substantial deliveries were made but discontinued after 1943 because of how the war was developing. But the Germans still wanted their stone so Swedish quarries continued to cut building stone until the very end of the war. After the war, the 'Hitler Stones' were left in Sweden. So who owned all this granite? Where did it go? Where is it now? How did the socialist stone-cutters feel about cutting stone for Hitler? These are some of the questions the documentary seeks to answer.
