Despite the proclamation of "total war" by Joseph Goebbels in February 1943, the psychological consequences of the defeat at Stalingrad are devastating.
The Third Reich lasted for 12 years, 3 months and 9 days. It began with great hopes and unprecedented jubilation and ended after a world war in which 50 million people were killed and Germany was destroyed.
This documentary series embarks on a unique journey through the bleakest chapter of German history, tracing the story of the Third Reich and painting a picture of Nazi dictatorship behind the propaganda by utilizing what in some cases is previously unpublished footage.
