How did Hitler enthrall the German people? Telling the story of the rise and fall of Nazi Germany through newsreels and home movies (many in color) and readings from diaries and memoirs, this riveting documentary evokes life on the German home front. As viewers hear from both admirers and critics of Hitler, awareness dawns of the techniques used to win the consent of the governed, and how the more brutally critics were crushed, the fewer spoke out, and the louder the crowds shouted "Heil!" Warning: Includes brief nudity, atrocity footage, and naked corpses. Mature students. Closed captioned. Color and black-and-white. 180 minutes. History. ©2010.
