The Nazis - A Warning From History

[Eric Mc]

This excellent series is being repeated again on BBC 4. The first episode was on last night and i still on iPlayer for the moment.

It does get shown on other channels but on BBC there will be no adverts.

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.
