So much has been written about Hitler and the Nazis, it's sometimes hard to see beyond the caricatures. He was evil, the devil, inhuman, incomprehensible, mad, insane... yet so often the standard narrative struggles to create the context, explain the circumstances or explore the man and his motives.

This excellent series does just that. Through first hand accounts from those who actually knew him, and by showing translations of his speeches (so often presented without translations, instead just showing his mad rantings) we are given a glimpse into the bizarre, twisted world view of this strange, soulless, narcissistic man and the turbulent times that allowed him to thrive.

The parallels to today's turbulent times, and our own strange, soulless, narcissistic man are obvious and yet all the more frightening given how this series demonstrates how one seemingly small piece of craziness, unchecked and unhindered - encouraged even - when added to more and more small pieces of craziness can end up creating one giant-sized catastrophe.

Wow! The parallels to today's USA politics is frightening. "Make Germany Great Again", "Fake News" and "the press is the enemy of the people" are all quotes translated from some of Hitler's actual speeches. Sound familiar? Then there are the other scary and disturbing similarities to todav's political environment.

This is probably the most intense and frightening short docu-series I've ever seen about the rise and fall of Adolph Hitler and the Nazi party I have ever seen.

This should be required viewing for all schools as early as middle school when the events and consequences can be more fully understood.
