The Nazis: A Warning from History (2-DVD)

A six-part series that originally aired on British television, THE NAZIS: A WARNING FROM HISTORY is a chilling reminder of one of the darkest chapters in human history. Looking at how the Nazi's came to power, Laurence Rees offers valuable insight into how the German public were swayed by the powerful words and actions of Adolf Hitler and his party, leading to the election of a terrifying regime that tormented the world, and ultimately lead to the events of World War II. People who lived through the regime offer their thoughts on camera, while some vintage footage helps flesh out Rees's theories. An absorbing, moving, and sometimes harrowing portrayal of the events that lead to Hitler's inexorable rise, this is a thoughtful overview of the Nazi rule that terrified the world.
