Program 1 - Hitler’s War
Rare archival footage illustrates the chilling account of
Hitler’s ruthless aspirations and savage victories as his armies blitz their
way through Northern Europe and fatefully invade the Soviet Union. We also examine
the disappointment and defeat that followed the collapse of his “Russian
adventure” and the Allies closing in on the German capital of Berlin.
Program 2 - Eva Braun
A side of Hitler that only his inner circle saw is
revealed using home movies that he shot with his mistress Eva Braun at Berghof,
his mountain retreat. Is this urbane man smiling out at us the same person who ordered
such inhumane acts of savagery? A macabre record of Eva Braun’s years at the
center of Hitler’s inner circle is uncovered in this fascinating program.
Program 3 - Killing Hitler
The true story of the Valkyrie Plot. Driven by hatred
towards Hitler, courageous co-conspirators set an intricate plan in motion to
bring the Fuhrer to his demise. The most famous attempt to assassinate Hitler came
in July 1944. A bomb planted in a suitcase and left in a meeting room explodes
and creates great devastation, but as if by a miracle, Hitler escapes with
minor injuries. The plotters paid a terrible price for their failure. Almost
5,000 were executed in the wake of Hitler’s wrath.
DVD 2: Nazi
Terror
Program 1 - Waffen SS
Hitler’s elite fighting force. The sinister black-clad
figures of nightmare, the Fuhrer’s Waffen SS hold a unique and dark place in
German military history. Their code demanded a lethal combination of bravery
and savagery and they must be held to account for many of the most hideous crimes
of the Nazi period.
Program 2 - Gestapo
Hitler’s secret police. Hermann Goering created a
clandestine state police force tasked to arrest and torture confessions and
information from supposed enemies of the Reich. All the powers of the judiciary
were taken into its hands and the courts were rendered superfluous. A
compelling account of one of the true horror stories of the 20th century.
Program 3 - Hitler’s Secret Weapons
Hitler asked his industrial quarter for armaments to
reinforce his plan for a mighty new German Army. The finest planes, artillery
and tanks and even submarines and battleships were churned out to blitz through
most of Europe and the Atlantic. His designers never stopped working. As the
Allies gathered their strength and resources for the invasion of mainland
Europe, the V1 & V2 – Hitler’s flying bomb and deadly long-range rocket –
rained death and havoc on an already devastated London.
Program 4 - Divide and Conquer
Starting in 1939, as the world stood by in awe and
horror, Hitler’s armies stormed through one European country after another as
they fell like dominoes: Poland, Denmark, Norway, Belgium, the Netherlands, and
France. This film uses Allied and German film footage to illustrate the
machinelike precision of Blitzkrieg – Hitler’s “Lightning War.”
DVD 3: The Ultimate Evil
The Occult History of the Third Reich - The murderous
deeds of Hitler’s Third Reich are still widely recalled today, but what is less
well known is the strange concoction of beliefs that underpinned the Nazi
regime. Adolf Hitler was enamored with Germanic mythology and ancient legends
and these were combined with cutting-edge theories of genetic science. With
this new philosophy, Hitler established the Germans as the “Master Race”.
Racial purity demanded that all inferior races should be Nazi underlings. The
Nazis created a new belief system of arcane rituals and potent symbols such as
the swastika. Hitler evolved an entirely new faith, complete with holy book,
venerated relics and a priestly elite in the form of Himmler’s SS. Hitler
himself was viewed as the ultimate leader in Messianic terms. This powerful and
disturbing series uses rare original footage to tell a story that is as bizarre
as it is horrific, and casts a new light on a national movement that came to
see evil as a sacred task. 1. The Enigma
of the Swastika. 2. The SS: Blood and Soil. 3. Himmler the Mystic. 4.
Adolf Hitler.
