Rise Of The Nazis: S02-03 - 2022 - 6/10
Unexpected followup to the first series, which was superb
This one promises well, as S02, “Dictators At War” zeroes in on Hitler and Stalin.
As a result, we receive insights on Stalin, Molotov, and Zhukov.
Producers rush the pace, however, and after two episodes the Soviet Union is barely mentioned.
E03 offers the White Rose resistance as well as Colonel Stauffenberg, no Stalin.
The third season was something of a disappointment.
Talking heads, “experts”, dominated this trio of episodes relating to the downfall.
Key members of Hitler’s inner circle were psychologically analyzed.
Speer, Eva Braun, and Admiral Karl Dönitz receive more due than is customary.
All too often, the presenters voice speculation and second-guessing.
A few come across as judgmental.
Such is their privilege, though one expects more objectivity in a documentary, instead of righteous opinion.
I’d suggest stick with S01, and dispense with later series unless you are a hardcore history buff.
