This series marks the 70th anniversary of Adolf Hitler's death by looking back at the dictator's rise, the creation of the Nazi Party and its ultimate fall. The episodes begin by examining the state of Europe in the early 20th century, where civil unrest led to the appeal of National Socialism. The hope of a better quality of life motivated Germans to support Nazism, but as the death toll increased during WW2, Hitler's popularity began to wane. The programme features rare archived sources of the events and professional analysis from Sir Richard Evans, professor Martin Kemp and professor Nicholas O'Shaughnessy.
