Highlights Of Hitler's War
Hitler's War is a very fast paced documentary which specifically looks at Hitler's strategy and actions from 1940 to his bitter end in 1945. The film consists of mostly real war footage with narration. This is a no-nonsense and at times, confusing coverage of six years of war in less than two hours. It mainly looks at Hitler's plan for war with Russia and its resulting failure. The Russian weather and T34 tank apparently had a big role in holding back Hitler.

Those of you looking for a complete documentary of the war, or who are fairly new to the subject should only use this film as a supplement to other films. It's fast paced look at Hitler's actions may very well go over most peoples heads who are trying to understand the war itself. This somewhat reduces it's emotional impact. There just isn't enough time to contemplate what you have just seen as the next segment comes about.

Most of this film is real war footage. Something I can always appreciate given my disdain for History-Channel style re-enactments.

This film is in two distinct parts. Make sure to come back to the main DVD screen and watch part two when finished with part one.

Hitler's War
A correct account of Hitler's raise to power and fall to disgrace
Most of the stock footage I have seen before but there's only so much film to go around. The dialog was eloquent and flawless.
There was rare footage that was excellent that I have not seen before.
I watch Hitler's War every week and see and hear new accounts of the Wars.
I definately have a new view on Hitler and the Nazi's after watching this gripping documentary.
It gets to the heart of Hitlers chronic inability to comprehend the realities of war
Hitler's use of past Germanic War History did not help him when the reality of Barbarossa fell on its Head. Hitler's use of time and space lost the war that he had already won. Thank God for that.

Hitler's War is very well-made
Hitler's War is a very informative documentary. I had seen some of these clips before, but not as good in picture quality as you will see here. You see footage of Hitler giving speeches with English subtitles, which is always interesting to see. Although I disagree with his actions, his bravery and dedication to improving Germany held good intentions (unfortunately, he chose a path of slaughter to reach his goals). Great archival footage of soldiers fighting, planes dropping bombs, Hitler leading his followers, buildings burning, and hostages being shipped away (never to be seen again).
