Title: good film footage ruined
Product review: There is some interesting film footage here, but it is ruined by over-the-top commentary that comes across like an (anti-) Nazi propaganda film, rather than true historical commentary. I'm no Nazi apologist, it was a terrible regime responsible for horrendous crimes, but this depiction is cartoonish - except for the film footage. Short on facts, long on hyperbole, and with some distracting cinematographic techniques that ruin what could have been an excellent summary of this period from a German perspective. History Channel has done some good bits, but this isn't one of them. Earns two stars because of the rare footage, but the presentation doesn't even rate one star.
