Hitler’s Rise: The Colour Films - 2013 - 7/10

Two part documentary detailing events from the final year of World War I to Kristallnacht.
Covers the leader’s growing oratory skills, deft manipulation of others, and incredible energy.
Weimar economics are covered, as well as street clashes between the Red Front and the SA.
Some visuals are soft (to be expected). Digitized color, which I usually disdain, is restrained and well done.
Solidly presented timeline, and quite accessible (this not limited to Hist buffs).
Modern day Cassandras should respond to the line, "Hitler provoked disorder, while at the same time, claiming to be the only man capable of stopping it.”
