Hitler's army thundered through Europe from 1939 to 1945 and brought needless death and destruction to the continent. What was it like to serve in this army? What was it like to conduct one of the bloodiest wars in history? What was it like to occupy half of Europe and yet to suffer total defeat?




This five-part portrait provides long-awaited answers to questions such as these and sheds light on the Wehrmacht's complex bonds of loyalty, conscience and honour. It is a thought-provoking story of an army's evolution from defense troops to military force to exterminating power.

  • It is because average young people are lost, without conception, especialy in those times, no TV and such. Then comes Hitler, giving everyone uniforms, weapons, ranks, a world view of YOU as a hero. Who could resist that vision?

  • @quest8899 But seriously, where did you hear that the Russians didn't cry out when wounded? They may have been a hardy people but there weren't superhuman.

  • Excelente documental. Como la historia la escriben los vencedores, nos es dificil encontrar parte de la misma dicha por los vencidos. Este es un documental muy interesante que describe que no todo el ejercito alemán Wehrmacht) y sus generales eran necesariamente nazis (nacionalsocialistas) y que si bien pecaron por omisión es bueno recordar que hubo muchos intentos al interior de la Wehmacht por eliminar a Hitler y que por una u otra razón no se consolidaron
