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.
