Has anyone been watched/watched the H2 channel's documentary series "The Last Days of the Nazis"?
Thoroughly recommended - although the title is a little mis-leading.
The series details testimony (given during the run up to the Nuremburg trials) of certain Nazi party members. These are actual words of the Nazis themselves (read by actors and actresses), explaining their role and/or their thoughts on all aspects of the Nazi years from 1933-45 (from the initial Jewbaiting such as Krystallnacht through to the final solution). Of the 8 million + Nazi party members, the series has taken extracts of testimony from a select few. From well known and high ranking Nazis such as Speer and Keitel, through to the thugs slightly lower down the food chain - Seiss-Inquart and Hoess - as well as other 'lesser' Nazis such as one of the active members of the Hitler Youth for Girls.
As usual with this subject, although we all know the story, hearing it again - hearing these $%^& try and justify what they did - (with accompanying footage) is often heart rending and anger creating in equal measure.
An excellent series.
