| User ReviewBrad MWith the "Trump is Hitler" sentiment that is rampant in today's social and political commentary, I thought I would watch a documentary on the real Hitler to see if I could draw any parallels before Hitler rose to power and became a genocidal egomaniac warmonger. This is a very well done documentary, but one of the most surprising things I found out from this was that the story of how Hitler was killed leaves a lot of question marks. Hitler's body was never really able to be identified, Russian soldiers found charred remains and the narrative was that it was Hitler. I googled it, and found out that in 2009 the bone fragments from the body that was claimed to be Hitler's were analyzed, and they turned out to be from a female. So Hitler may not actually have been killed in German at the end of the war like we've all been told. He was born in 1889, so I don't think we have to worry that he's still alive now - but Hitler could have lived for a very long time after the war and we would not have known it. Does this matter? Probably not. Is it interesting? You tell me. |
| User ReviewDaniel BNot the best documentary but sill watchable. not long enough for a start and the title is awful i would not exactly say Hitler had a career. |
| User ReviewIan RIt's informative but not enough. I wanted to know why Hitler was so evil and it doesn't touch on his motives at all. It's really just a documentary about his actions and speculation about how he might have been feeling at the time. |
