Rise of the Nazis
Powerful and resonant series that looks at how Hitler and the Nazis seized power in Germany and ushered in the death of democracy.
In 1930 Germany was a liberal democracy, but just four years later the country is ruled by a dictator and its government is in the hands of murderers. Rise Of The Nazis is a powerful three-part forensic examination of what happened in those four short years. The series reveals that the Nazification of Germany was as much about ruthless personal ambition and a desire to hold onto power by more moderate politicians as it was about extreme ideology.
The series will also expose the power struggles between prominent Nazis which helped transform Germany into a brutal police state, allowing Hitler to transform himself from Chancellor to all-powerful Führer of the Third Reich.
Along with dramatic reconstruction and archive footage, historians and experts, including Professor Sir Richard Evans, General Sir Mike Jackson, Baroness Helena Kennedy QC, and Ash Sarkar, take viewers inside the heads of the historical characters who were key players, and pick apart the events in the Nazis’ rise to power.
Each episode also reveals one of the many resistance stories, acting as a reminder that there were those who understood what was happening and were prepared to act.
In a political climate that is dominated by concerns about the rise of populism, nationalism and disunity, this series is also a timely look at the fragility of democracy.
