Description:
How could a political party as fundamentally evil and overtly racist as the Nazis come to power? This remains one of the most enigmatic questions of the last century. Acclaimed historian Laurence Rees examines what led a cultured nation at the heart of Europe to commit the atrocities it did. In so doing, he exposes popular myths and encourages understanding of the real forces that led to one of the darkest chapters in modern history. Was it simply the hypnotic power of Hitler's rhetoric? Did the Gestapo really impose themselves by terror on an unwilling population? Through interviews with witnesses and perpetrators, along with archive film and records, this six-part series unveils a more chilling reality.

Preface: Others have covered very well the many positive qualities of this series, so I'm going to focus on just a few points for the sake of brevity.
The Nazis - A Warning from History" sadly suffers from the same faults of most documentaries about the Nazis. It simply looks at the conditions that were prevalent in Germany, acknowledges the inequity of the treaty of Versailles, but fails to give all important perspective. Anti-semitism was not especially prevalent in Germany. France ... Read More

This excellent series should be required viewing for anyone with the slightest concern with what's going on in our country today and what's going to become of us in the future.
Step by step, Adolf Hitler and the Nazi party's rise to power is meticulously documented, along with how and why one of the most liberal and tolerant of all the European nations in history voted him in as Chancellor of Germany.
The descriptions of Hitler's operating methods and his relationships with ... Read More

Another fine production from the BBC. I saw this on Netflix instant play and liked it so much I had to buy it. It's chock full of understanding the many facets of the war as well as the origins.
Never before had I seen such a deep delve into the origins of what occurred in Germany pre-1940 to precipitate the events of WWII.
It is indeed a warning from history and we should not forget lest we repeat the mistakes of the day.

Este documental de la BBC da elementos de comprensión al fenómeno nazi, desde su surgimiento hasta el fin de la guerra. Debe verse como una prevención tomando nota de las manifestaciones sociales y políticas, pero sobre todo no olvidar que sucedió para que jamás vuelva a ocurrir. Deja otra lección para pensar: la responsabilidad compartida, social y política, no decir NO es decir SI, apoyar y colaborar.
Debe ser tenida en cuenta frente a los movimientos neonazis y extremistas de toda índole. ... Read More

I first watched this series of one hour programs when it was on the History Channel. It so moved me that I couldn't wait to buy it when it came out on DVD. But, upon viewing the American DVD I noticed a few mminutes was missing from the show I saw on History Channel. Particularly, about ten minutes dealing with a group of children being locked into a school building, and the building set afire.
I see that the American DVD runs 290 minutes...while the Netherlands DVD runs 300 minutes. Could it be the ... Read More
