The path to Hitler started a long time before 1932. Germany had wanted their "Place in the Sun" for several generations prior to WWI. The ending of the war, the ruinous "peace" treaty imposed on Germany, the incompetence of the Wiemar Republic all had more to to with Hitler's rise than the stock market crash and the depression. Germany was well on the road to depression before 1929-30. Hitler was canny enough to appeal to German pride and ego to build his power base.

One interesting bit from the first episode was how Hitler used his Stimulus Bill to revive the economy. Makes you wonder...

If so, did you like it better than the standard def? Also, what do you think of Lanzman's "Shoah?"
Some people here warned against the BR version, to me that obviously was not a concern as I don't have a player. The standard definition one has more than acceptable quality, as most of the screen time it is old documentary footage you are watching.

Both Hitler and Roosevelt adopted Keynesian economic principles to revive their respective economies. Max Webber studied Keynes extensively and was an early economic adviser to Hitler. Guns or butter; the same economic principles but vastly different outcomes.
