It sux. The production sets, music, actors, many of the commentators, and some totally misplaced archive footage. Youngsters who don't know much about that period of world history, i.e., high school graduates after 1980, might benefit from it.

Agreed, They must have spent more time auditioning the Hitler actors than all the others put together.

OK, so we are sitting around at the office sipping a little bourbon, what with the bourbon Apocalypse and all is cause for concern, discussing this production, which I have not seen. Based on the discussion, I doubt that I will ever see it.

It seemed to be the usual A&E and History Channel production values. Wrong uniforms, wrong weapons, wrong dudes from the Screen Actors Guild reading lines out of Alice in Wonderland. We all agreed that these History Channel dudes could use us - nerds and geeks who actually knew something about uniforms, weapons, history, tactics, and we’d be willing to work cheaply. Our conclusion is that they don’t care. Why spend an extra $500 to make it visually, historically, and tactically accurate when the sponsors will buy their ads no matter how bad the crap is that rolls out of production. Ignorance, incompetence, indifference. Quite a combination. I’m glad that I watched the Royals lose twice to the Astros.

The older Hitler did have the mannerisms down pat during speech delivery. And they did credit him for being able to move the masses with his oratory. I've often wondered what he would have been able to do with that gift had he been a force for good.
