Well put together series using both actors and historical films and stills. This is essential viewing for anyone who doesn't have good knowledge if the atrocities committed by Germany in WWII which should never be forgotten or forgiven. Illustrates just how pathetic virtually all the Nazis are after the war, hardly the master race they liked to think they were.

I'm not Jewish and no one in my family died in the Holocaust, but I feel the sense of horror at what happened and the little bit of relief that it might give the people who were touched by the extraordinary efforts done to capture the people that carried out these heinous crimes.

I've actually watched the series a couple times and simply amazed at the dogged persistence of the people who wanted to try and get justice. It made me go and read further and it even more amazes me how they were able to do what they did.

It is well researched and paced. There's a review that comments about some errors in what people were wearing, and yes like many shows there are some errors but I've found errors in almost every show. I didn't find those here to be overwhelming.

With as much apparent research the producers did into the details of each of these Nazi series of events, you'd think they could get something like military rank insignia correct. They show actors described as key US Army Majors but wearing Captain bars. USA Colonels wearing 2 General stars. US Army NCOs in USMC uniforms.

When a documentary doesn't get the simplest of things correct, I have a hard time taking for granted that the more obscure things are correct. All that research into the Nazis and they didn't do any research into "What insignia would a Major have worn?". Is there nobody on the production staff that's ever been in the military? Nobody who's ever watched the news or an (accurate) movie that might speak up and say "Wait, I don't think that's right".

I hope that's all ten lines required. Seems like a silly requirement.
