Hitler's Circle of Evil

I've seen a lot of bad critics here and I wanna say something.This is not a documentary that focuses on WWII.Its mostly about the personalities of the people that Hitler had in his circle.Also it kind of showing you how it all started,and as repetitive as it is,cause it is,its very educational and actually did some great work and dig.You dont have to criticize everything that you see,like the costumes,if the buttons were untied,who cares.This is a great show and I highly recommend it to anyone that gets interested on how some people in nazi circle acted, rised up or how it all kind of started.Good work

I just read Erik Larson's book "In the garden of beasts". The book tells you the story of William E. Dodd, american ambassador in Berlin from 1933 to 1937. Recommended! Combined with this series, it gives you a great view on what happened in Germany during that period, and we can only wonder why USA, GB and France didn't do something about it much earlier. They absolutely underestimated the situation. Hitler just wanted time to build his army.

William E. Dodd foresaw all this, and allthough he was criticized by many during that time because of what he said and wrote about what he thought would happen, he was later seen as a prophet they all should have listened to.

"Hitler's circle of evil" is an excellent documentary!

Lovely presentation of historic facts. Beautifuly filmed. A source of knowledge of Second World War. Better understanding of the roles of these terrible protagonists is the War

I have seen a number of documentaries about German history through the two World Wars, but this is the first one that actually reveals the intricate interpersonal relationships among a group of deranged individuals that lead a political party from relative obscurity into the driving force behind a national and global tragedy. The group comprising Hitler's 'inner circle' were all psychologically unbalanced and fanatical individuals. It is interesting to see how they were able to use the socio-economic circumstances of Germany to convince a substantial portion of the German population to adopt their arrogant and wicked philosophy. Bravo to the producers of this documentary for showing an original perspective on the events of history!

This is an excellent doc on the inner workings of the Nazi top tier of characters. The re-enactments are well done, some of the actors don't look anything like their real life counter-parts but I guess they took what actors they could. Tons of little seen and rare footage. The historians give a balanced account of these horrible men in-the-making rather than the standard they are totally evil repugnant creatures stance seen in more unbiased documentaries that only serve to distance and turn-off the viewer and possibly taint the lessons needed to be learned by the Nazi era. This doc could easily have been named "Absolute Power corrupts..."
