Personally, I found more to object to in the styling of the programme itself, featuring actorly "reconstructions" of, say, Adolf with his long coats sweeping slow-mo through the snow. Go to Full Review John Boland Irish Independent 09/09/2019
I thought there was nothing more to be said about Hitler and his Third Reich, but illuminating historical context was provided by the first episode of the three-part Rise of the Nazis. Go to Full Review Christopher Stevens Daily Mail (UK) 09/04/2019

12/07/2020 This accurate examination of the rise of the Nazi Party in 1920s and 30s Germany is compelling. It provides penetrating insight into the emerging fascist dictatorships of today in Europe as well as North and South America. Their dedicated and focused effort must be understood and counteracted if Western democratic institutions are to prevail. This series helps provide such understanding. See more 12/06/2020 Rise of the Nazis is a powerful docu-drama that will ring a lot of bells for those following politics today. The dramatizations blend amazingly well with historical footage.
