The Nazis - A Warning From History

A superb series together with "Auschwitz: The Nazis and the 'Final Solution" (2005) - I have watched many times.
Samuel West's narration (both series) is chilling and very moving at the same time.
His pitch/tone is perfect for the subject matter.
Totally agree, I think these two will be as well considered as 'The World at War' as the years pass. Both brilliant in dealing with very difficult times in the 20th Century. Samuel West's narration (both series) is chilling and very moving at the same time.

Indeed a very well produced programme. I like the way that they give the 'average' German a voice to demonstrate that nothing was inevitable in the rise of the Nazis, things were fluid and given a few things going against them, all the horrors that followed might not have happened.
Still, I kept on muttering 'b
ds' under my breath at the screen.

I like it mainly because it blew away a lot of myths about how the Nazi Party operated in Germany and the occupied countries. The main thrust of history was that people followed the dictats of the party out of blind belief in propaganda or out of fear.
The reality was quite different. Fear was a factor - but not the only one. Indeed, it wasn't even the main one.
