How the Nazis Lost the War
How did the Nazis, the most feared military machine in the world, make so many mistakes and bring their country to its knees by the early 1940s? For the first time a magnifying glass is applied to the hubris, poor management, and high hypocrisy of Hitler’s Third Reich. Led by the narcissistic drug-addled Führer, the series explodes the far-right myths of the Nazis and shows that the men responsible for the biggest crime of the 20th century were little more than sycophants pursuing their own petty interests, and when the pressure of war was applied, they failed miserably.
