Hitler: A Career
1977, German. Directed by Joachim Fest & Christian Herrendoerfer.
A career unparalleled in history
A keen chronicle of the unlikely rise to power of Adolf Hitler (1889-1945) and a dissection of the Third Reich (1933-1945), but also an analysis of mass psychology and how the desperate crowd can be deceived and shepherded to the slaughterhouse.
