Adolf Hitler: The Greatest Story Never Told

First, so many of these reviews are 10/10, it seems almost unbelievable. No, we are NOT Neo-nazis or Nazi sympathizers. No we are are not having all our friends stuff the ballot box to write these reviews. (Well, I can't speak for everyone - but I'm not part of either of those 2 mentioned groups).

Second, I almost feel bad clicking 'No' when asked "Does this review contain spoilers?". You bet there's spoilers - not within my review, but easily found within the undeniable FACTS and PROOF put forth in this very well made documentary. This film is NOT designed to make you feel the Germans were saints, not by any means - but it does explain some things that you've always wondered about learning in your History lessons (and why it's actually illegal to discuss many parts of the war in Europe). Did you know it's illegal to be a holocaust denier in many European countries - why would that be? Other than the fact that they don't have the 1st Amendment that Americans have enjoyed over the centuries (and we are - for some stupid reason - doing our best to make that illegal, should we somehow offend someone??)

Finally, if the Allies were the 'good-guys' then why were the USA and the USSR seconds away from nuking each other, during the Cuban missile crisis, just 20 years after being our best friends in WWII? And for many decades involved in the 'Cold War'.

We've all found certain 'facts' of WWII history which just doesn't make rational sense, but they must be facts, since they're in a textbook. Right?? Have an open mind, listen, as if you were a jury - weighing the facts of the case against the hearsay - I promise you... even the best historian will walk away with at least 1 new idea to either accept, or do further research on.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND WATCHING!!!

I have never seen such an amazing perspective to a documentary, about the 'Greatest Story Never Told'! It included rare historical footage, which is quite stunning. The content was extremely easy to understand and very informative. The footage is presented with a background Soundtrack that is not horrific or dark like every other documentary, but very calm and suitable, so that you find yourself in the past watching the history pass in front of you. The movie was separated in several chapters, which is helpful for the viewer to understand every single detail about the content. This documentary is not manipulating me to hate someone, who I never met in my life before. This is the main reason I liked this movie. I was able to see another human being in front of me. I can only thank for the eye opening experience that completely changed my view towards history and the world… I know now, that people need to learn their history themselves, and only themselves. You are free to search, so use this opportunity. We people are scared to search,or speak out the truth. It's simply 'forbidden'. It's the same thing as someone holding his hands in front of our eyes, and we are afraid to say something. Something is supposed to change in our minds...

I have seen thousands of movies in my life, but nothing like this. This is the most impactful movie I have ever seen. At first, I started watching on the defensive (Hitler is the devil, right?), but from the first episode this documentary is so well executed and very interesting, addicting. It made me question what we are told in Hollywood and books - made me absolutely shake all my beliefs about World War 2. When I finished watching I was completely amazed and deeply moved by the spectacle - I have never been so touched before in decades and hundreds of movies. From initial hesitation to Best Movie Ever.

The content is really powerful, amazing atmosphere, absolutely brilliant soundtrack. This documentary takes you on a roller-coaster of emotions - it turns everything upside down. It is very deeply researched, and I have confirmed this doing my own research. Dennis Wise puts thousands of hours of investigation into a 6 hour documentary, so you can know everything you need to know in a few small doses of 15-min. And believe me, you don't know one tenth of it.

I am really thankful to Dennis Wise for this epic documentary so eye-opening which changes absolutely everything. Heroes an villains are not the same anymore. It will make you understand a lot better the politics and the world we live in today. Suddenly it all makes sense after and you awake to a new reality after decades of propaganda from the other side, from the people who control the world today. Adolf Hitler: the Most Lied about Man in the last century.

The power of this documentary is that it slaps in your face bigtime with the hard truth. This 6-hour documentary is the antidote to years of Propaganda.

I felt guilty buying this and almost fearful watching it as if doing something wrong. I feel sad at the story but more angry than anything at the guff we have been fed about this period of time, this country and this man. More than angry, disgusted. This sort of cover up of truth eventually comes out and turns people against the con artists. We should all be able to judge for ourselves. I feel a great weight has been lifted. So glad something ( maybe the increasing dishonesty of politics?) Drew me to idly wonder about this. I wonder what else is being spun and covered up? this documentary has plenty of footage, facts etc that were new to me although I have a major degree in history, including ww2. Did I just not dig deep enough? Were our approved texts biased? Did my lecturers steer us away from unapproved sources? We really can't move forward properly until we have our past truthfully viewed. All this talk of history from the bottom up should be applied here. In all, harrowing, hard but enlightening and ultimately, beneficial to know all this.

Hitler. We are taught that there was never a more brutal, genocidal maniac in the history of the world. You risk ridicule by suggesting otherwise but this is exactly what Dennis Wise has done. The Greatest Story Never Told is quite amateurish in some respects. The narration is stilted, the editing could well have been done in a back bedroom and the subject matter tends to lose its way before returning again to its main theme, but that does not stop the film being absolutely compelling. There has always been aspects of WW2 that just don't seem to fit. Why would a monster like Hitler have such a massive following? Why would a monster promote family holidays and car ownership for the working classes, and why risk certain war over territory in Poland? Why would Churchill accept nothing less than total, unconditional surrender when a negotiated peace could have saved lives on all sides? What was propaganda and what is the truth? Churchill is credited with saying that history is written by the victors. Wise offers an alternative to this and allows viewers to review what they think they know about Hitler and perhaps to see things in a different way. A way that has not been entirely written by the victors.
