With the plethora of WWII documentaries available these days a DVD needs to offer something really special to separate itself from the pack. This History Channel show does it by avoiding the usual suspects who caused the war and focuses its cameras instead on the ordinary German people as they ride the tide of nationalism to great heights on the first disc, then skips forward to show how far they dropped in the eyes of the world (and of each other) when the war was over. It’s absolutely fascinating.
