Hidden Fuhrer: Debating the Enigma of Hitler's Sexuality is a documentary film based on the research of German Professor Lothar Machtan for his 2001 book "The Hidden Fuhrer" that claimed Adolf Hitler was a homosexual.

" (2003), "Gay Hollywood (2003)) and Randy Barbato ("The RuPaul Show" 1996, "101 Rent Boys" (2000), "Out of the Closet, Off the Screen: The Life of William Haines" (2001)) and was produced by Gabriel Rotello.

- Brigitte Hamann, Austrian historian, and author
- Ron Rosenbaum, author of "Explaining Hitler"
- Ralf Dose, Germany gay historian and founder of the Magnus Hirschfeld Society
