The story of how and why the German people did what they did in their own words.

Third Reich - The Rise 1/6

Its particularly horrifying to anyone who pays real attention to the America of today.

Is that the doc that uses all the home movie footage and stuff like that? We watched one like that and it was excellent, fascinating really.

One part that really struck me was a diary entry from a 14 year old Austrian girl about the day the Germans “invaded” Austria. She wrote about how the day before the Austria flag had been on the various buildings, etc. but immediately it was replaced by the Nazi flag and also the people had the nazi flag on their houses and they were waving little one in the streets.

Where did they get all those flags so quickly, she wondered. They must have had them prepared for the purpose.

Of course she was right, but I wonder how many adults thought about that.
