- 1. Gradual BeginningsAfter WWI Adolf Hitler attends the meetings of the German Workers Party, a far right political party centred around racism and anti-Semitism; the natural home for Adolf Hitler’s political beliefs. He rapidly works his way up and builds a loyal following of the most brutal men in Germany. Capitalising from the broken state of Germany post WWI Hitler sets about his revolution. The infamous Beer Hall Putsch of 1923 was superficially a failure which saw Hitler arrested, imprisoned and silenced from speaking. But this was only the beginning of a reign of terror.TV-14CC44minApr 13, 2015
- 2. The Implementation of TerrorTwo key events of the late 1920’s see the foundations of the National Socialist Party firmly cemented in nations psyche: The ban on Hitler’s public speaking was lifted and Wall Street crashed. The devastating mix of propaganda and unbridled terror caused the German nation to fall under his spell, seemingly oblivious to the racial hatred being doled. WWII loomed, the manufacture of weapons meant unemployment was a thing of the past and the economy bloomed and so Nazi popularity would soar.TV-14CC44minApr 20, 2015

With a defiant Russia on the East and the American & British on the West the Nazis look to the Jewish population to vent their anger. With the war all but lost and with the German population left in an acute state of shock Hitler and the Nazi Party would carry out one more act of terror and then die but their legacy would live on...TV-14CC44minApr 27, 2015
