Living with Hitler
Adolf Hitler's Nazi regime made a more damaging, more enduring, and more controversial mark on history than almost any other. Millions of Germans participated in rallies, waved at their leader as he paraded through the streets, and hung Swastika flags from their windows. For millions more, Living With Hitler meant death. Germany was defined by “one blood” and those who would pollute the blood had to go, one way or another. Over three one-hour episodes, we follow the story of how Germans and the people of the occupied countries lived through the Nazi era from 1933 to 1945.
