Excellent!
22 April 2012 | by neil-arsenalSee all my reviews

Like me, you probably find Hitler and his minions abhorant. However, there is a morbid fascination in many as to how he came to hold the German population in the palm of his hand.

He used fear and intimidation in the extreme but he is shown here to be clever in his use of manipulation.

Most of the movie is in colour (added using modern technology) and the effect is excellent.

Get it.

you won't regret it!

Well worth a watch!
