The decline of Hitler’s empire from the inside out by exploring the decline of the Nazis through the perspective of Hitler's bumbling generals and a paranoid Fuhrer.
As World War II loomed, Germany needed Allies - or at least short term sham friendships. Germany's choice of strange bedfellows would come back to haunt them and they would pay a high price.
As Germany became overstretched during WWII, Hitler and Goebels promoted Wonder Weapons as the path to ultimate victory. All they needed were designs that were simple and cost effective.
A God complex rarely ends well and for the Nazi's this delusion would ensure their defeat. Hitler's messianic belief that the German people were the master race, ruled the Nazi party's thinking.
This episode examines what part Hitler's almost daily injection of opioids and methamphetamine played in his murderous regime. Did his heavy drug use fuel an already delusional personality?
This episode explores Hitler's inner circle and the backstabbing and betrayals that came to characterise the regime. Nepotism, corruption and fear were rife.
Early victories in WWII gave Hitler a delusional over-confidence but when the mistakes started they came thick and fast and in the end hubris and self-interest led to ultimate defeat.

In 1945, during the final months of the Second World War, a group of soldiers perform for the Royal Artillery concert party, with comic acts and musical numbers for others prior to their departure for the frontlines. The party avoids partaking in combat duty; thus, the soldiers love being part of the outfit. Some even daydream of becoming world-famous actors when they leave the army.
Island at War is a British television series that tells the story of the German Occupation of the Channel Islands. It primarily focuses on three local families: the upper class Dorrs, the middle class Mahys and the working class Jonases, and four German officers. The fictional island of St. Gregory serves as a stand-in for the real-life islands Jersey and Guernsey, and the story is compiled from the events on both islands. Produced by Granada Television in Manchester, Island at War had an estimated budget of £9,000,000 and was filmed on location in the Isle of Man from August 2003 to October 2003. When the series was shown in the UK, it appeared in six 70-minute episodes.
Over the past 60 years Britain's Special Air Service regiment has carried out a wide variety of clandestine missions - from deep-penetration raiding to hostage release operations - which have made it respected and feared for its professionalism and daring. The SAS prides itself on doing its work in the shadows, never allowing any publicity and never claiming credit for any of its extraordinary achievements. But, over the years, sufficient information has emerged for a picture of the regiment's exploits to be clear. This series uses interviews with former members of the SAS; detailed and painstaking reconstructions; and cutting edge 3-D graphics to recreate seven great missions which show why the SAS is today regarded as the world's leading special forces unit.
