Unlike the German version of The Nazi Plan, the English version contains film material from non-German sources. Scenes of American soldiers on the newly-liberated streets of Germany switches to a close-up of film reels. The voiceover indicates that teams of researchers looking for enemy film followed close on the heels of the American forces and that caches of film were found all over Germany. The scene changes to show the defendants in the dock at the Nuremberg International Military Tribunal. Various footage plays as the narrator lists the crimes of which the defendants were accused. The footage includes: Jodl, Keitel, Mussolini and Hitler consulting a map; a high-ranking German officer being forced into a barracks at a concentration camp, human remains in ovens and in a mass grave. The narrator states that in addition to traditional evidence, a film was shown "which sought to establish the manner in which the Nazis obtained totalitarian control in Germany." Shots of judges and prosecutors in the courtroom and Justice Robert Jackson, followed by Kellogg's affidavit testifying that the film to follow is exclusively from German sources. From this point the film follows the original shown in the courtroom at Nuremberg, except for the English voiceover translations and some of the titling, until the last few scenes. Some sequences are shorter in the English version. "Part 1 The rise of the NSDAP, 1921 - 1933." "Alfred Rosenberg describes the early Nazi struggle for power."
