The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich

This fascinating 1968 documentary recounts the events that led to the rise of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi party. A painstakingly compiled pictorial record of Adolf Hitler's twelve-year reign of terror. Included are interviews with many of Hitler's closest associates. Here is the incredible story of how an Austrian paper-hanger rose from total obscurity to become the absolute master of the German people - the definitive pictorial record of the Nazi demagogue who unleashed his private madness on the world. Based on William L. Shirer's monumental best-seller, this award-winning program exposes the blackest chapter in the history of mankind.

The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich: Season 1 - 3 Episode s

1x1 - Part 1
March 6, 1968
Originally shown over three nights on March 6, 7, and 9, 1968, David L. Wolper’s small-screen précis of William L. Shirer’s magisterial true-crime book, The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, is a portal not just into theretofore unseen Nazi footage but also to an age, unimaginable now, when a stern black-and-white documentary, neither slicked up nor dumbed down, could be allotted copious prime-time space on a major television network (well, on ABC—then a very weak sister to the big boy powerhouses of NBC and CBS). It is a riveting work, a cinematic history lesson that belongs on the select list of required viewing on the topic that has spawned more archival ruminations than any other event in twentieth-century history.
