Hitler is sort of making a comeback these days with the woke army fighting their unpopular and lonely war, so I thought I would give this a look. I have been a student of history all my life, though with military history it has been more the American Civil War than the World Wars, but a lot of the details told here were very familiar to me. The original color footage was not mesmerizing despite it being the main focus here and the history was old news, so to speak, so I found the most interesting parts to be some of the quotes and excerpts from journals, letters and speeches. It presents a more human and therefore more disappointing picture. The extra footage, presented without comments, was even less interesting it me, though you may disagree. Interesting how until his dying day, Hitler thought he had always been right, always would have succeeded if not for the treachery of others, and a huge success even after his humiliating and total defeat causing the deaths of millions of his own people. Sounds familiar.
