The Nazis seized power when Adolf Hitler was appointed Reich Chancellor on 30 January 1933. What began with great jubilation ended after a world war in which 50 million people were killed. This series takes a unique journey through the bleakest chapter of German history. It traces the story of the Third Reich, painting a picture of Nazi dictatorship behind the propaganda by utilising what in some cases is previously unpublished footage.
