Films for the Humanities and Sciences - The Rise and Fall of Adolf Hitler

The Rise and Fall of Adolf Hitler

This exhaustive biography covers the tumultuous career of the failed Austrian artist who nearly conquered the world: a series of events and people, a chemistry of history and current happenings, a confluence of economic, psychological, and political forces that turned a thousand minor, innocuous events into a huge and murderous whole. There had been wars before, and slave labor, and genocide, and treaties made to be broken, and propagandists who came to believe their own propaganda; what made this experience different is what is documented in this program: its vast scope, its documentation on film, and its central character, Adolf Hitler. (2 hours 30 minutes, b&w/color)
