On January 30, 1933, Adolf Hitler was appointed Chancellor of the Reich. This was followed by the Reichstag fire, the Enabling Act, and the so-called "Röhm Putsch."
The initial phase of Nazi rule was primarily focused on power consolidation and coordination. The Third Reich lasted for 12 years, three months and nine days.
It began with great hopes and jubilation and ended after a world war in which 50 million people were killed and Germany was destroyed.
This documentary series embarks on a unique journey through the bleakest chapter of German history, tracing the story of the Third Reich and painting a picture of Nazi dictatorship behind the propaganda by utilizing what in some cases is previously unpublished footage.
