Last Days of the Nazis – Season 1
Episodes
Dark Beginning
Smoke, Blood, and Mirrors
After World War II ends, every German adult is subject to Allied questioning. Albert Speer, Hitler’s architect and Armaments Minister, presents a confounding portrait of an educated, likeable man seduced by his own ambitions. Former BDM leader Melita Maschmann explains how the Nazis cultivated racial hatred among young Germans. Occultist Karl Maria Wiligut explains the Nazi obsession with mysticism and ritual. The Nazis use spectacle and circus to obscure their dark agenda at the 1934 Nuremburg Party Rally and the 1936 Berlin Olympics. And propagandist Julius Streicher repulses his captors and meets a grisly and surprising end.
War of Conquest
The Executioners
Nazi party members recall Hitler's Final Solution, the Night of Broken Glass, the country's euthanasia program, mass exterminations at Auschwitz and Treblinka, military encounters with the Red Army and officers who challenged the Fuhrer.
Death Factory
When the allies uncover evidence of Nazi brutality after the war, they send interrogators in to interview Nazis that held important positions in the death camps.
