Plot

This is a look at Adolf Hitler through the eyes of color cameras while listening to the words of others; friends, soldiers, collaborators and victims.

Pros

Most documentaries on Hitler and WWII are black & white; seeing it in color does lead to a different perspective. The rallies have a completely different look and feel when you see all the red flags. Brian Cox was an excellent choice as narrator.

Cons

At 80 minutes in length, don't expect a lot; this would equate to a cliffs notes version of a more detailed documentary. And don't adjust your TV; this is what color video looked like over 60 years ago.

Extras

  • A Ten-Minute Colour Archive Montage of the Immediate Aftermath of the War
  • An Interactive Map of the Main Nazi Concentration Camps
  • An Interactive Timeline of the Third Reich
  • A Nazi Propaganda Poster Gallery
  • Biographies of Leading Nazis

Recommendation

There are many documentaries out there that are far more educational/detailed on Hitler. I found this for $5 and it was worth the time to see things in a different perspective.
