Germany’s Fascist Story

Season 11 Episode 1104 | 26m 16sVideo has Closed Captions

Traveling across Germany, we trace the roots of Nazism in the aftermath of World War I.

Traveling across Germany, we learn how fascism rose and then fell, taking millions of people with it. Visiting actual locations — from Munich to Nürnberg to Berlin — we trace the roots of Nazism in the aftermath of World War I, when masses of angry people were enchanted by Hitler. We explore the totalitarian society Hitler built, and see the consequences: genocide and total war.
