[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 432654, member: 23"] Last night I began the BBC series[I][SIZE=6] Rise Of The Nazis[/SIZE][/I]: [CENTER] [MEDIA=youtube]v32WQPxa0jY[/MEDIA][/CENTER] As I embarked, I'd thought this was a three hour commitment, but I now realise it's four times this as this is just the first of four series. This is fine, though, because I found it compelling enough to want more. In fact I'd only planned to watch one episode last night but stayed up later to continue into the second. There have, of course, been numerous documentaries about the Second World War era and the Holocaust, but the focus here on the early Thirties and the way the party gained political power is somewhat less well-documented. This is probably the most in-depth overview I've had of the beginnings since history class at secondary school. And fortunately this is far less dry. Watching today, it's difficult not to draw parallels with more contemporary events, as the pendulum swings ever further to the right once again. This looking for similarities is even acknowledged in the documentary itself , but things have changed even since 2019 when this was transmitted and it's even more worrying today to see how quickly and how completely the tide can turn.
