- Who'll love it
- A natural pick for anyone who loves an underdog and history and war-film fans. You don't need to know the game to feel the big moments. Shelve it next to They Shall Not Grow Old or For Sama. It puts you in the middle of the fighting, and doesn't let you forget the cost.
- The mood
- Intense, eye-opening.
- The pace
- Well paced for a documentary, at 1 hr 36 min.
- What might put you off
- Made in 1974: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you want made-up drama tonight.
Comprised of footage shot during the Nazi regime, including propaganda, newsreels, broadcasts and even some of Eva Braun's colorized personal home movies, we explore the way in which the Third Reich infiltrated the lives of the German population, from 1933 to 1945.
