Today we know Adolf Hitler as the epitome of evil. But it wasn't always like that. There was a time when people worshipped him, went to war for him, and were willing to die for him. For the first time, we see Hitler from a different perspective. Through his friends, admirers, and supporters, new light is shed on who he was and how he wielded his power.
Tyrant
In 1933, Adolf Hitler is appointed Chancellor of Germany. He immediately sets about implementing his vision, and within months, freedom of the press is curtailed, his political rivals and critics are imprisoned, and he enforces a decree giving him unlimited political power in the country. But rumors begin to spread about the harsh treatment of prisoners in his new concentration camps.
Fanatic
In the summer of 1940, Hitler is on his way to realizing his dreams of German world domination. His armies have stormed through Europe, invading one country after another. Before he is stopped, his vision has led to the systematic genocide of six million Jews and other innocent people. Adolf Hitler's story shows the risks of giving unlimited power to a dictator.
