Adolf Hitler: The Greatest Story Never Told

Hitler. We are taught that there was never a more brutal, genocidal maniac in the history of the world. You risk ridicule by suggesting otherwise but this is exactly what Dennis Wise has done. The Greatest Story Never Told is quite amateurish in some respects. The narration is stilted, the editing could well have been done in a back bedroom and the subject matter tends to lose its way before returning again to its main theme, but that does not stop the film being absolutely compelling. There has always been aspects of WW2 that just don't seem to fit. Why would a monster like Hitler have such a massive following? Why would a monster promote family holidays and car ownership for the working classes, and why risk certain war over territory in Poland? Why would Churchill accept nothing less than total, unconditional surrender when a negotiated peace could have saved lives on all sides? What was propaganda and what is the truth? Churchill is credited with saying that history is written by the victors. Wise offers an alternative to this and allows viewers to review what they think they know about Hitler and perhaps to see things in a different way. A way that has not been entirely written by the victors.

It took me three years of reading and study to put together the true picture of Adolf Hitler you you can learn here in this 6 hr movie. Everything you will see is true and can be verified in primary and secondary sources. You will come to an entirely new understanding and appreciation of this man.

I think this documentary is very convincing. In the past, we all thought that the goal of Germany was to dominate the whole of Europe, but it was not. The reason for the outbreak of the war came from irreconcilable conflicts. In World War II, the most ambitious was Soviet Russia, not Germany. The United Kingdom lost the British Empire after the war because of its persistence in fighting. France thought that it could win against Germany, but it was destroyed in more than a month. Every country has war crimes, the indiscriminate bombing and slaughter of the German people by the Allies was never convicted as a war crime, but the defeated Germany is the only one to blame.

This documentary is all but completely taboo. This film is sure to receive angry review, and some praise. Praise will be labeled as neo nazi or racist, anti-semite, etc. However, to argue that questioning the official report, or having an opinion, or acknowledging positive aspects of a taboo subject should be condemned immediately, should be considered reactionary and emotional in response. This would be the angry review.

As someone who is personally connected to the events documented in this film, I can admit that I was moved emotionally. The music score has a great deal to do with that effect. My father was born in Germany and lived near Dresden when the controversial firebombing of the city occurred. He can describe it in great detail through a child's eyes. For this reason I am personally connected to "my people" who suffered the horrors of WW II, which was created and waged by politicians primarily.

The argument of who suffered, whether it be Jewish people, Germans, British, Russians and Soviets, Ukranian, Polish, French, Japanese or American, is not what should be considered. Accuracy and fairness. This is what true justice is based on. Weighing the facts with blindness to emotion. This needs to be considered if we want to live together as human. Otherwise the wars can continue until we are all dead.

Please look at this objectively. There is material in here that I would consider slander towards Jewish people. It is slight, but it is there. There is also brave argument about Stalin's grip on his Soviet Republic. This, like the argument about American treatment of African American, and Native American people will be and is argued as "trying to steer sight away from the true evil of Nazism". But should it be ignored? Why is Stalin's starvation of his people considered "less evil"? Please look at this objectively. It is an argument of fairness. However, there is a chapter regarding "what if?", and the "what if?" in my opinion is preposterous.

As a half German American, I will always argue that my people and their history is another page in the book of human history. Please do not slander my ancestry. Look at the facts, take the emotion out of it. There is always a moral argument against the Third Reich. It needs to be an objective argument against the Third Reich.

I recommend this film, not to change your opinion of Adolf Hitler and his National Socialist German Workers' Party, but to lessen the hatred that you may possess in yourself. Regardless of your personal opinions, there was humanity in the German people in the 1930s and 40s. You will be much more validated in your opinions if you listen to all the arguments on the subject, from all the angles. If there was not a possibility that history could be more than we have been told, then there would not be a possibility for it to be discussed. To simply dismiss alternative facts, theories, or discussion would be ignorance.

Consider having an open mind. Closed mindedness itself can lead to atrocity. Review our history and see for yourself.

I have seen thousands of movies in my life, but nothing like this. This is the most impactful movie I have ever seen. At first, I started watching on the defensive (Hitler is the devil, right?), but from the first episode this documentary is so well executed and very interesting, addicting. It made me question what we are told in Hollywood and books - made me absolutely shake all my beliefs about World War 2. When I finished watching I was completely amazed and deeply moved by the spectacle - I have never been so touched before in decades and hundreds of movies. From initial hesitation to Best Movie Ever.

The content is really powerful, amazing atmosphere, absolutely brilliant soundtrack. This documentary takes you on a roller-coaster of emotions - it turns everything upside down. It is very deeply researched, and I have confirmed this doing my own research. Dennis Wise puts thousands of hours of investigation into a 6 hour documentary, so you can know everything you need to know in a few small doses of 15-min. And believe me, you don't know one tenth of it.

I am really thankful to Dennis Wise for this epic documentary so eye-opening which changes absolutely everything. Heroes an villains are not the same anymore. It will make you understand a lot better the politics and the world we live in today. Suddenly it all makes sense after and you awake to a new reality after decades of propaganda from the other side, from the people who control the world today. Adolf Hitler: the Most Lied about Man in the last century.

The power of this documentary is that it slaps in your face bigtime with the hard truth. This 6-hour documentary is the antidote to years of Propaganda.
