Just watched the documentation and confirm in the most points/facts with the creator. He did a good work and I am sure he invested a lot of time. The documentation and many other information is still blocked or censored by German government and German law.
If you go to school in Germany and "learn" about history the WW2 is a big part, but it is shown in another way (the bad guy theory). So if you talk about this, everyone who did not research by his own has the same knowledge. I was looking for information about the (whole) truth since 10 years and started all discussions about the 3rd Reich with: I am sorry, but to understand my point of view and talk about it you have to invest hundreds of hours in German history research." Now I can say, watch the documentation and then we can talk about WW2.
In my opinion there is also some Nazi Propaganda and I can not believe the full 100% at all. But it takes you a big step nearby the truth and show both sides of the medalian of the political Leaders in WW2. No one is innocent of them and A.H. is not the pure devil he was stigmated from the allies.
Thanks for this. Great work and many success for further projects

This documentary does a great job in balancing the narrative of World War 2. The film portrays the rise of Hitler, the National Socialists and the lead-up to WW2 from the German perspective. It could thus be said to be biased in favour of the National Socialists, but not more so than the average Western mainstream documentary whitewashes the Allies' war effort.
This is certainly the best and most informative WW2 documentary I've seen, which is all the more fascinating given the low-budget production.
This documentary ought to be compulsory viewing in all public schools worldwide. If it were, the US would never get away with invading small counties in the Middle East on false pretenses.
A must see!

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 think this documentary is very convincing. In the past, we all thought that the goal of Germany was to dominate the whole of Europe, but it was not. The reason for the outbreak of the war came from irreconcilable conflicts. In World War II, the most ambitious was Soviet Russia, not Germany. The United Kingdom lost the British Empire after the war because of its persistence in fighting. France thought that it could win against Germany, but it was destroyed in more than a month. Every country has war crimes, the indiscriminate bombing and slaughter of the German people by the Allies was never convicted as a war crime,
but the defeated Germany is the only one to blame.

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.
