Hitler's Rise and Fall | FULL DOCUMENTARY 

I thought i had watched all WW2 videos until i watched this documentary. Extremely rare footage, superb narration, epic photography, top-notch music, perfect editing....i rate this documentary a 10/10

This is quite frankly the best documentary channel on any format I’ve come across, Please continue to educate me.

18:22 "Its the world's first genocidal war." Ah, no its not. The first one documented but definitely NOT the first.

not once have i been so captivated by a documentary like this. good stuff.

How can Hitler have had NO military training when he was a front line soldier in WW1 and won the German Iron Cross?

What brought down Hitler was his pride in my opinion. He thought he was unstoppable. Starting war with Russia AND America was just foolish and he clearly completely underestimated them both. Germany was TINY in comparison. They never had a chance.

The best documentary channel I've ever seen. Where do you find this footages?

great doc, also just finished the 2 part SS documentary you made! Great work.

Timely reminder. Great video documentary. Macabre topic well explained

You missed the part where the nazis were all hopped up on meth. No ordinary soldier was able to stay up for three days.

How can you say that Hilter was never a soldier when he was quite famously known for being a soldier in WW1???

Crazy that he had some of the greatest generals yet listened to none.

This is 1 of the best docs I have seen so far. Why are r censoring some of the pictures?

In short it could be summarised to the same mistake that dictators through history seem to have made: underestimate your enemy, overestimate your own chances/capabilities. Had Hitler listened to the advice of his generals and actually acted according to their advice especially when it came to Eastern front, the war could have ended differently. Hitler wasted so much manpower and equipment into such useless things like siege of Leningrad and assaulting and keeping Stalingrad that by avoiding these two mistakes as well as not trying to take Moscow agaisnt the winter, he could have saved hundreds of thousands soldiers

Nice work. thx.

How could I not subscribe after the SS doc!? Looking forward to watching this one.

I really admire that you produce such high quality documentaries and they are available for free! Thank you!!

Pretty good documentary, however one issue that arises from using existing documentaries that contain errors as source material is the perpetuation of those errors. Manstein did not single-handedly create the 'sickle-stroke' invasion plan - he had the idea for it in basic form, but worked out its fine details with Guderian. Manstein was never a tank commander and he needed Guderian to shape the plan into something feasible for tanks. Furthermore, having Guderian sign off on the plan increased its validity as a real option with the OKW. That famous sequence of the Panzer 1 driving through the river is footage from a training exercise, not the battle. There is some footage here purportedly showing motorized divisions moving toward France during the first stages of the invasion, however in fact that footage is Ewald von Kleist's motorized divisions in the Soviet Union during the battle of the Sea of Azov.

1:43-1:50 "... and the United Kingdom hasn't been conquered for nine hundred years". No wonder. The United Kingdom was created in 1801. Even Great Britain has not been in existence for 900 years because was established in 1707. Perhaps the bloke is making confusion between England, Great Britain and the United Kingdom. Lots of people don't know the diference. However, "the British Isles were invaded multiple times in recorded history - twice by Romans, once by Anglo-Saxons and Jutes, and at least twice by Scandinavians/Vikings (three times if you count William I as a viking). England had been also invaded by French and Dutch. Ireland had been invaded by both Vikings and English." "England had been conquered by Romans, Anglo-Saxons, and large parts were conquered by Vikings. The final conquest was by William I - a descendant of Rollo, first Viking King of Normandy. Northern Ireland was conquered by the British." (Anton Sachs, in Quora)

Literally the best ww2 or documentary ive seen ever, it properly delivers the best ending showing how devastating the end of the war was for all sides.

Excellent documentary and music

Wow! Amazing document. Thank You. ❤

Interesting !

this footage is newly released from security vaults? I have seen lots and lots of footage in documents but it tends to be quite repetitive and out of sequence. The footage here I have never seen this is very interesting I am amazed

It remains a mystery why Hitler didnt take on the British Expeditionary Forces that were trying to escape via the Dunkirk sea route. This could be a fatal error of judgement on the part of the German military high command.

I read panzer leader by guderian a long time ago.Now gotta watch how it played out.Thank you very much. Keep it up.

Excellent documentary!

Very informative video.

What separates this documentary with others is the tempo of voice over. Calm & confident while majority of nowadays documentary talks like fast train, with no interval & punctuation. They seem afraid not to be heard or left by audience.

Great documentary 👌

Can you do one on the Bolshevics.?

Great documentary very informative thanks for uploading it

The French and British got their ass kicked. If it werent for the Soviet Union and United States, France and Britain would not exist. They started the war, they must deal with the consequence of their actions.. Germany humiliated them!!

The team making these awesome documentaries deserve an Oscar.

More documentaries about this time period than any other I'm guessing.

Nice persepective with new footage.

Europe the battle ground of the world, they’ve been fighting there since the beginning of our civilization.

Please do a docu on the ”winter war” where USSR tried to invade Finland

this is a perfect example of not trusting what you see in front of you. and not trusting the voice of your generals who have seen what is happening on the ground. When you think you know it all, you are destined to fall

The power of crystal meth

Why should the Wehrmacht have had such doubt about Hitler’s military abilities? He HAD had personal military training plus he had earned a special military award for his performance in WWI. Not to mention all of the quick victories he recently had.

The videography in this documentary is Excellent!

Wonder how large a role Pervitin played in the french downfall

There's is an amprehencive expression on Rommal if footage is Correct..

who filmed all that footage

The madness brought him down. Fascism is the root of all our ills.

Great documentary

Greed has no limits, keep that in mind when ur time comes

It was rundstet that stopped the tanks not hitler he said that the order was from hitler so it would be obeyed

Very good documentary

By talking about Germany now how is it that they are the biggest arm supplier to Isra'el committing genocide.

The war would have had a different outcome if the generals were running the war and not a politician..

Auf einem der Fotos sehe ich chrupa nur mit dem Alter klappt das nicht.Ein Verwanter ?

Great narration! It clearly stands out amongst the hundreds other documentaries of the kind.

Hitler was a runner in ww1 and had to constantly badger his commander for a iron cross

this is actually horrific, my grandma was alive, still is, in the times of Hitler, she was a child yet got traumatized for life. She saw and lived through her friends getting murdered, she had to hide, people she knew were being sent to Siberia, few years back she told me all about it, her life is pretty insane and sad. Her father died in the war as she told. TW: She also told me this one thing I can't get off my mind, she was clear about the details, snow was always as high as her knees, it was extremely cold, she was walking with a few other kids she used to know, they found something shiny in or on the snow I don't recall, she wanted to go for a toilet break, obviously they were in a forest so there was nowhere to go, so she went further and hid behind the trees, while her friends I guess, were looking at the thing, little did they know it was a bomb, I have no idea of how it worked or what it was, but after they picked it up or triggered it somehow, they blew up. She came back, lucky to be alive, after hearing the blow just to find pieces of her friends bodies that were left, she told me more details about the body parts and gore but I'm not gonna talk about it. Honestly she's really strong and not even my related grandma, but since I live with her I count her as one, her life is horrifying, but all she says is that it's real.

It could have ended differently if they haven't have invaded so many countries so quickly and stretched their forces so far and left the UK alone. The Soviet Union was a bridge too far, albeit it was obviously a requirement for them to defeat the communists and Stalin already saw the threat at the time. Hitler should have held off for another year at least before that operation to build further, regroup and attack after the winter. Though with the wests support for the Sovs they still may have been defeated, but they may have held it if the USA had not have gotten involved via the UK plea. Merely my thoughts.

Makes me want to watch Enemy at the Gates

Great narrator

Exulted eh? Let's see how exulted they feel when they get to... STALINGRAD!

This documentary was produce by ARTE CHANEL I watched it in French a year ago . they translate it to English.

I love when the documentary says “He attacks, conquers “ but doesn’t say why

At 2:17 Hitler telling his generals you think you know more than me.

Prestigious Vienna of Fine Arts Academy accepted all applicants after WW II 😀

Finally a documentary explains how they can go through the ardennes that there were some French pilots whe reported the tank columns. All these years I was saying to myself somebody somewhere had to se 65 divisions crossing many miles of territory and reported it.

One has to wonder how much of this documentary is true given that the victors always get to write the history.

The nazis were able to take the oil fields of the Caucasus but had no hope of transporting the oil to a place where it could be used. Losing the 6th army at Stalingrad was the was also a death blow to German advances.

There were any rumor connected what is and how is polland after france

10:17 Guderian was so cunning lol

His dog Blondie seems like she is afraid of him.

30:33 😮

Love your documentaries and style

Europa The Last Battle

This would have been an excellent WWII documentary if not for the censorship blurring multiple images. So I never finished watching.

To be fair the campaign in Russia was mostly given over to the OKW but the high command didn’t fully understand what giving up space to buy time meant in a country so large because in Central Europe just a day or 2 meant the enemy was at your capital city. They also thought wiping out a standing army meant victory not understanding how a nation so large can use that time to literally rebuild a whole army and multiply it by 5.

Why you didn't talk about time before the war, or occupation of Denmark, Norway, Poland?

Reading the comments, I'm not sure why the audience watched this given their apparent military genius. They think the emotional words are bad etc...maybe they should make their own doc.

Great documentary but Hitler went after Stalingrad more for its name. You guys YOURSELF covered this in the SS Documentary you made. Capturing the oil fields first was of essence.

Never gets old.

What makes this so magnetic to watch is that it seems unreal but it's real and not that long ago really. I was born 40 yrs after the war was over.

29:27

Master mind

This should be at least 90 minutes long.

Even his dog didn't want to come near him. Dogs are excellent judges of character.

I am here now.

To the guy who couldn't believe that Hitler had no strategy because he was a corporal...Dude, you don't seem to get that corporals don't get strategy. It's way above their pay grade.

Was Hitler a officer with knowledge about how to plan a operation for war or just a private with not notion at all

He got the iron cross because he was a shrapnel catcher.

Thought I had watched all WW2 documentairies. Hitler's video of his Russia mistake is unbelievable

He never once told Eva Braun he loved her…..did he ??

Sure was a tough way to learn the warning “Beware the False Messiah”! 45:26

I dont think he wouldve agreed with 23&me

I've watched my share of ww2 doc

first video recorder was invented discovered in 1888 obviously camera's were lost destroyed and abandoned even still my point is there was plenty of cameras. there must be so much unreleased footage

Watch Europa the last battle for knowing the truth

The stupidity that Hitler was mad is ridiculous...look at the crowds , You wouldn't get that adulation for a mad man.

Hitler tripped on acid and decided to speed run to the most powerful position in modern history.

Looks so clean, but Germany lost around 50k soldiers conquering France.

Why is the Champs Ellysse lined with trees? So the German could march in the shade

Hitler did not pursue further in Dunkirk not because of a mistake. He did not pursue to massacre the trapped allies because he was a national socialist who considered Brits and French as his brother Aryans. Hitler hoped that Britain would come to reason and stop the war if he showed mercy in Dunkirk, but to no avail. We must remember that it was Britain and France who declared war on Germany and started WW2. Hitler never wanted war, only to liberate the German people which were trapped inside Poland and Czech Republic, after Versailles Treaty had given German terrotories to other countries, leaving thus millions of Germans trapped under regimes oppressive and hostile to German minorities, with numerous racially motivated attacks against ethnic Germans.
