I for one get tired of the endless references to Hitler, Hitler, Hitler for every event that happens in the world

Did anyone watch the recent three-day look at the "World Wars" on the History Channel? The concentration was on some of the pivotal characters and their development: Hitler, Churchill, Roosevelt, Mussolini, Stalin and Patton. At one point in the series however, they really seemed to emphasize how the "American Depression" in the 1930's negatively impacted Germany and the rest of the world. Almost...almost suggesting that Hitler's rise was OUR fault!

Did anyone else catch that?

I watched part of it. They made some mistakes, but at least when they got to Stalin, they didn’t paint him as some sort friendly ally. They called him what he was...a cruel dictator who was as bad or worse than Hitler. Which sort of surprised me given the leftist bent of many modern filmmakers and historians.

Yes. It was very poorly done and had many factual mistakes. Written and directed by Gen X idiots would be my guess.

I was really disappointed by it.
