#1 ..Actually, not that undisclosed: check out James O'Donnell's masterpiece The Bunker from 1976. Der Fuhrer could be downright catty.

#5 It's already been done. There is a movie called SWASITKA, they used german lip readers to give dialouge to Hitler's home movies. Isaw it in college back in the seventies.
From IMDB "This feature length documentary will knock your socks off ... if you're ever lucky enough to see it. If you have ever wondered how Hitler and his thugs wooed the Germans? Philippe Mora has assembled an incredible body of film footage here and let the material tell the story ... there is no narration, something Philippe does particularly well (see his next doco, BROTHER CAN YOU SPARE A DIME). He was even able to find Eva Braun's home movies of Hitler, mostly taken at Obersalzburg, and with the help of German lipreaders, bring them to life. Students of history will find it particularly enlightening. It is also horrifying. Most people didn't think Hitler was at all bad. Famous reporter Dick Brinkly singing the praises of Hitler in the mid 30s must be embarrassing. See it if you can. Pray it comes out on DVD one day."
They also say its on DVD in the UK.
