Hitler's Rise to Power

S1 E1: 1945. In Berlin, which lies in ruins, the Red Army is fighting its last battles. Berlin, which was once one of the most open cities in the world, before Hitler and the Nazis rose to power and decided to take control of Europe. In 1939 the Fuhrer allies himself with Stalin before invading Poland. France and Great Britain are left without any choice but to declare war against Germany, which does not stop the Germans and Soviets from calmly carving up Poland. Persecutions of Jews and Gypsies begin. To the West, the phoney war has started a period of waiting, uncertainty, and also hope. Remembering the suffering they endured during WWI, the French and British still hope to avoid the war. Meanwhile, Hitler is preparing his invasion of France, which is risky but formidable. Will the Allies fall into the trap?
