If you watch about 4:23 mins into this video, after the Germans invaded Poland, the narrator says, now Hitler ordered a " fundamental reordering of Poland " where have we heard those words before ?
Also in that video, Hitler ordered a ethnic cleansing..

The chilling words of Lord Olivier at the very beginning set the stage:

Down this road on a summer day in 1944, the soldiers came.
Nobody lives here now. They stayed only a few hours. When they had
gone, the community, which had lived for a thousand years, was
dead. This is Oradour-sur-Glane, in France. The day the soldiers
came, the people were gathered together. The men were taken to
garages and barns, the women and children were led down this road,
and they were driven into this church. Here, they heard the firing
as their men were shot. Then they were killed too. A few weeks
later, many of those who had done the killing were themselves dead,
in battle. They never rebuilt Oradour. Its ruins are a memorial.
Its martyrdom stands for thousands upon thousands of other
martyrdoms in Poland, in Russia, in Burma, China, in a World at
War...

This may be called “The World at War” but it isn’t the BBC series I watched 35 years ago. This ones not as good.
