The Nazis, A Warning From History
The Nazis would later try to rewrite history to say that Hitler became Chancellor simply because it was his destiny, but in reality, Hitler had been helped by economic circumstance and the support and miscalculation of others.
As the new century approaches, one historical question more than any other demands an answer.
How could a cultured nation at the heart of Europe be responsible for acts so heinous that they have altered concepts of what man is capable of.
How could the Nazis come to be? This series is the definitive television history of the rise and fall of the Nazis.
Helped Into Power - How was it possible that a cultured nation at the heart of Europe ever allowed Hitler and the Nazi party to come to power?
Chaos and Consent - If the Germans are famous for one quality it is efficiency. Yet the Nazi administration of Germany during the 1930’s was characterized by radical chaos.
The Wrong War - Hitler admired one country more than any other - Great Britain. His favourite film was the Bengal lancers which told the story of the British in India. In Mienkampf he spoke of expanding German territory tot he East. How was it possible then that in 1939 he ended up fighting the one country that he had started out wanting as an ally, Great Britain, and allied to the one country he had intended to take land from, Russia?
The Wild East - Poland was to become the epicentre of Nazi brutality; the place were Nazism achieved its purest and most bestial form. This is the story of the first two years of the Nazi occupation of Poland and the vicious power battles between the Nazi barons.
The Road to Treblinka - How was it possible that the holocaust ever happened? With access to extraordinary new material from Lithuania including an interview with a member of the Nazi killing squads this programme examines how the Nazi could commit acts which have caused estimates of how low human can sink for ever to be altered.
Fighting to the End - In the summer of 1943 the Italians, seeing which way the war was going, voted Mussolini out of office declared the war over. Why couldn't the Germans do the same? Why did it take the near total destruction of their country for them to give in?
to now and all of time I've seen the oldest Commet i have ever seen 12 years of age to rot endlessly
Being able to give any name and remain anonymous has value. But sometimes it is unwise.
Please read The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich by Wm. Shirer for the most comprehensive research regarding WW2, esp. Hitler. Roughly 1250 pages of well cited info. This program is essentially propaganda.
The world owes Germany an apology for all the lies of WW 1 and WW 2. Please view "Adolph Hitler, the greatest story never told", or any video or book by M.S. King, or maybe "Benjamin Freedman 1961 Speech". Wake up world.
Hitler was backed by the Swiss pharaohs who create the problems with their secret societies. Washington D.C, Vatican, and City of London. OBELISKS celebrated in all these cities. City of London never bombed, and the Banking center in neutral Switzerland never bombed. The world is controlled by a satanic cult out too destroy our world.
I'm very familiar with this propaganda piece.
The nazis like the vikings are the very attractive,shining evil. Hitler understood this and ordered that everything German must be attractive.The Bauhous `designers helped.
What was he doing in Liverpool, England after the war? Visiting relatives, like the script reads?
Many horrifying genocides have been committed in war by many nations. To isolate the "Nazi's" as specifically evil is disingenuous. The Communist Soviets, The Turks, The Japanese, the British and French in parts of their empires. Much of the "genocide" was the starvation of Germans who simply had no resources to look after themselves let alone those in concentration camps. Look how skinny they all are, these "holocaust" victims, that is result of starvation, not murder, you think they would let someone get that thin, and then murder them? Clearly they tried to keep them alive as long as possible and that is only reason we have such images of such extreme thin people to look at. Why would they keep them alive if they wanted to genocide them? It makes no sense and is all just the standard media lies to guilt trip a whole race of people, who were inconvenient to the spread of their materialist and capitalist corrupt individualistic practices.
Mainstream media propaganda lies.
Jeff has it totally right.
I just watched: The nazis, a warning. Much appreciated and valued.
Many other present nations should considered themselves warned ... having the dellusion that they are engaging in a crusade. We all know in what state how all crusades end. A word to the wise is sufficient !

Interesting documentary basically only for some new footage and some new testimonials, however here also there is the manipulative manner to distort the facts to serve the zionist beasts. In fact quite curios that it show how Germans discriminated shops belonging to jews (forgetting????) to show that USA jews had declared an economical war on Germany. Also Hitler hated the financial system and for this reason in order to have Germany recover without making the bankers happy a new money was printed. I think Hitler was also manipulated just to serve the Zionist movement to get that so called State Israel. Stickt at the facts of today. The financial system is still in the hands of the jews, the media is mostly run by the jews. They also have influence in the school programming of your children with a distorted rappresentation of history, the jews control also comunications like the web also. You just seem to undersestimate their power, therefore anyone willing to destroy it is welcome today.
This will happen again, in some way or in some degree. It will happen because man doesn't learn from his mistakes.
There is a bit too much paraphrasing on here unfortunately from a couple of people :( Otherwise pretty useful historical source if not just for the interviews conducted with survivors and witnesses. In regards to the quality of the content not my field but seemed fine to me. Recommend the Rise and Fall of the Third Reich the reconstruction of footage into colour is brilliant as is the insight into prewar 30s Germany.
Brilliant Documentary series, about the rise of National socialism, and the horrible path that it led Germany down. I recntly watched the film Downfall as well and would have to class that as the best movie I have seen regarding Hitler and his descent into madness. Unrelated to this documentary I know, but I strongly recommend to anyone who has not yet seen it.
Best docu's ever made for WW 2 and Germany's reality prior to Hitler's rise to power.
Yea it is good. Now I can understand the skepticism what with the same old story being beaten of us time and time again, believe me I had the same thoughts but this is full of new and interesting stuff and like the ad says stuff they couldn't show on tv
i have a question. Is this any good?
isnt it funny how you can be alone on a machine and still get somehow manage to argue with people - i think the internet is a false flag operation.
Those who do not learn the lessons from history are destined to repeat it.
The tea partiers are fake americans they are not for real democracy as is the republicans and the democrats,, Most own factories and some sort of companies that underpay their workers and most invest in overseas companies that take work from (REAL AMERICANS!) They are all the same party.We Argue with these guys while thehighr ups are really stealing and holding the people down with the money they are stealing........... But moving on The nazi's atleast had some good things going for them...Love them or hate'em the nazi's really had some good philosiphies on immigration!!!FACT!!!
tea party is frighting
Just watched the first two parts, pretty good but some major elements are presented too incomplete and I feel the urge to augment some of them.
Firstly the legend of the stab in the back was not simply aimed at the jews but mainly at the democrats and socialists. The second democratic revolution in Germany which lead to the Weimar Republik couldn't have happened without the consent of the military high command - whose head was incidently the later President Hindenburg. It did so for its own reasons since it was believed the Americans under Wilson would be much milder towards a defeated German democracy than to a German monarchy. Furthermore it was a perfect opportunity to spoil democracy from the beginning. To the soldiers and the people it looked like everything went well, the Russians were defeated, so were the Italians and despite major losses in ground the imperial army was still standing deep within French territory. But then Democracy took control and its first act was to surrender while the Emperor conveniently went into exile. This in essence is the legend of the stab in the back, it was created and fed by the high command which thought that after a peace treaty was signed, the people would be quickly fed up with the new system and the emperor could return. It didn't work out that way for the original dictator but immensely helped another one.
The second part of the plan didn't work out either. The Americans held back in the negotiations and the Europeans who had been on the brink of defeat had their say which lead to the Treaty of Versailles. This is another point very poorly made in the documentary. The Treaty of Versailles was a blatant injustice. It blamed solely the German Empire for causing the first world war which is by any means ridiculous but served well in imposing even more ridiculous demands. It meant the loss of one eight of its territory, refounding the state of Poland which hadn't existed for decades, and splitting it by the Polish corridor. Along with it went one tenth of the population, each and every colony and every patent held by any german scientist or scientific organisation. It meant the occupation and successive demilitarisation of the entire rhineland exposing it to the then archenemy France, the complete loss of souvereinty of the german air- and seaspace. Along with it came massive general demilitarisation, an army of 100 000 only infantry, no artillery, no tanks, no planes and a navy that couldn't defend a fish pond. At the beginning of this war the Germans were a proud people, leading in economic, cultural and scientific terms, imagine how humiliated and vulnerable they felt. And in their mind it wasn't the monarchy that stumbeled into WW I like a drunkard into an irish wedding but the new democracy that was to blame for all they felt was lost.
On top of it came the reparations imposed on the new Republic, ridiculous reparations. Had they been paid as planned, the Weimar Republic would have had to pay them until 1988 - 60 years!!!. Since you can't really reach into a nacked man's pocket, what couldn't be payed in cash was taken directly. When the new government refused to continue payment and called upon the population to strike, the French - who had undoubtedly suffered most from the direct effectss of the war - simply marched into the rhineland and took literally everthing. Engines, entire factorys, even telegraph posts were dug out and taken. The only way to finance the strike was to print money which in turn led to the incredible inflation mentioned in the doc. Within weeks every German citizen whithout non monetary posessions lost absolutly everything. A billion marks for a loaf of bread sums it up. In the people's minds it was the Allies who did this to them and the new government wasn't able to defend them at all.
Having said all that I must ad that if the other side had won, I'm pretty sure it wouldn't have been more lenient towards its opponents. The Treaty of Brest-Litovsk is a strong implication in this direction. So I'm writing all this not to assign any guilt to either side but to try giving a deeper inside into the circumstances of the time. There would be much more to say about the European mindsets between 1870 and 1918 and the events that shaped them but if you've come this far, thanks for being interested, I hope it was worth your while.
This is a great show. Very informative.
