THE NAZIS: A WARNING FROM HISTORY

Details

• Release Year: 1997
• Genre: Documentary, War
• Plot: How could a political party as fundamentally evil as the Nazis come to power? The Nazis: A Warning from History exposes the popular myths surrounding the rise and fall of the Third Reich. The series explores how the Nazis gained influence, how they ruled, how they treated their occu¬pied territories and, above all, how a cultured nation could be a party to such acts of inhumanity.; Contemporaries recall the true extent of Hitler's power; eyewitnesses de¬scribe the horrors perpetrated on the Eastern Front; specially shot film in Lithuania reveals the development of the 'Final Solution'; and ordinary Germans shed new light on the relationship between the Party and the people. Was the Nazi rise to power simply the result of thi hypnotic power of Hitler's rhetoric? Did the Gestapo really impose themselves by terror on an unwilling population? This six-part series, winner of eight international awards including the Peabody Award, un¬veils a more chilling reality.; ;
