A NEWSREEL HISTORY OF THE THIRD REICH - HITLER'S RISE TO POWER - THE EARLY YEARS TO 1935
Description:
DOCUMENTARY
This educational and thought provoking series comprises German newsreel recordings and includes unique footage plundered by Russians troops. Directed and orchestrated under the influence of Goebbels’s Ministry of Propaganda, it is by no means an accurate historical depiction but a fascinating insight into how the period leading up to and including World War Two was portrayed to the German people. This episode deals with the early years including the Great War to the emergence of Hitler as German Chancellor. It covers the collapse of the German economy and subsequent poverty; the SA implementing the anti-Jewish campaigns; the death of Hindenburg and the turbulent elections and re-building of Germany under the new chancellor.
