Hitler: The Untold Story

The footage and detailed information this 3 disk documentary contains provides the rise and fall of power by Hitler and real horrors of WW2. There is so much information on disk 1 (6 chapters) I found myself reviewing it at least 20x. Disk 3 is also excellent providing detail on the roll the U2 Submarine had in the war

This video was very good because it showed us how a small group of people can convince others to do harm to others. Propaganda is a tool used to convince the masses of people to hurt others without thinking. The same kind of propaganda during Hitler's time is being used today. We must be aware of this. People cannot take what they hear or see on the news at face value. They must do their own research to validate what they are seeing or hearing otherwise, another Hitler will rise at anytime. Today, with all of our nuclear bombs, we must be extremely careful because the world today can be destroyed at the blink of an eye. Hitler is not the only person who wants or wanted to control the world. The same idea is alive and well in America.

The true nature of Hitler has never been told. This is one book that sheds light on it.

As other reviewers have noted, a lot of the info here is not new. If you have seen little previously on Hitler, you will enjoy it, however those that have studied Hitler and the war will find much of it tiresome.My main criticism was with the first disc, which included much footage clearly intended to be archival footage but could not possibly be(eg the 'actual' explosion on 20/7/44 which nearly killed Hitler). A lot of the footage, while genuinely archival has been used out of place, such as vision at the Berghof, which it is implied was shot much later in the war than it was. Also, the segment on the holocaust was way to short considering the enormity of those events(acknowledged even in the segment titles as lasting 11 years).A pet hate of mine was the constant mispronunciation of certain names such as Goering(Gooring), Goebels(Gobels), and in the U-Boat shows, Doenitz(made to sound like a policeman's favourite treat(Donutz).Some of the shows were out of place, especially the Pacific campaign epiosodes, as it had nothing to do with Hitler, and was overly long. While the sacrifices of those involved in the fighting can never be understated, it seemed there was a segment on the battle for every single island in the Pacific.

There are alot of things in this film that i have never seen befour .Loaded with new information .The picture quality is ok and in w-screen.How ever in the lower left of the screen the year allways stays on screen i dont like it really but it is not that bad,THIS doc. gives alot of info on all sides and in great detail mostly film is in b&w. This film gives more detail than most .Like the surender of france to Hitler is more detailed and more footage of it and better explained why Hitler did what he was doing.The disc comes in 3 black papper sleeves with each disc Hitler face is on it. I Would buy now that i have seen it, If you are in to ww2 docs this would be a must have. Not a bad price for 12 hours.ohh and the commentary is done by an englishmen, I hope this was helpful to you.

I DO LIKE HISTORY AND ALTHOUGH THIS IS JUST RECENT HISTORY (1935-1945), IT WAS IN THE BEGINNING OF MY LIFETIME. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN CURIOUS ABOUT HITLER AND WHAT MADE HIM TICK. I DO NOT THINK I KNOW HIM ANY BETTER, BUT I STILL HAVE A PROBLEM UNDERSTANDING HOW THIS MAN COULD GET AWAY WITH THE THINGS HE DID; BY A COUNTRY WHO WERE JUST TRYING TO SURVIVE. THE GENERALS UNDER HIM HAD A LOT TO ANSWER FOR ALSO AND MOST ALL OF THEM DID PRISON TIME BUT NOT AS MUCH AS THEY SHOULD HAVE. THIS MAN HAS BASICALLY GOTTEN AWAY WITH MURDER OF OVER 6 MILLION JEWS, NOT TO MENTION THE MILLIONS OF GERMAN SOLDIERS, AND THE ENEMY SOLDIERS. HE WAS TOO MUCH OF A COWARD TO FACE HIS ACCUSERS OR THE WRATH OF THE JEWISH NATION, OR EVEN THE GERMAN PEOPLE. THE MAKERS OF THIS DVD DESERVES A LOT OF CREDIT FOR THEY HANDLED A DIFFICULT SUBJECT WITH DIGNITY AND GRACE. I HAVE BEEN INDEPENDANTLY STUDYING THE CIVIL WAR AND WWII, MAINLY THRU TAPES AND DVDs, AND A FEW BOOKS. THIS IS ONE DVD THAT I WILL LOOK AT AGAIN AND AGAIN....YOU ALWAYS LEARN SOMETHING NEW WITH EACH VIEWING.

I like this video mostly dfpr the reference of the compositoon of gernany's leaders and people.. what they looked like uniforms expressions clothing weapons a fine souurce of reference

another good one on the subject of wwII and the mindset of a country and a man who, like others before and after him wanted total control. sorry people, standard of an Aries man!!!
