Cover Up: Norway's Nazi Secret

Sixty years ago, Norway’s Nazi invaders saw a perfect opportunity to further Himmler’s “Lebensborn” program, by encouraging their soldiers to have affairs with Norwegian women, often with Aryan features, and breed “racially superior children.” After the war the women children were sent to prisons and asylums.

Directed by Tom Sheahan, Cover Up: Norway's Nazi Secret leans on a strong ensemble — Shaun Austin-Olsen, Anni-Frid Lyngstad, Mark Halliley — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2002.
