The Nazis—A Warning from History
This series explores how the Nazis came to power, how they ruled, how they treated their occupied territories and, above all, how a cultured nation could be responsible for such acts of inhumanity.

The Road to War
Did the failure of Britain and France to stand up to Hitler as he began his march through Europe provide the spark that would become World War II?

Dunkirk
The audacious bid to rescue over 400,000 troops besieged on the beaches of Dunkirk must rank as one of the greatest maritime evacuations in history.

War of the Century, When Hitler fought Stalin
The war between Hitler’s Germany and Russia was fought on a scale unprecedented in History. This film truly brings home the horrors of the war on the Eastern front.

Horror in the East
This compelling film reveals both the unimaginable inhumanity—including cannibalism and crucifixion and the complex truth behind the kamikazes and the mass suicides.

D-Day: Reflections of Courage
D-Day was the turning point of World War II; the most audacious invasion in history. This drama-documentary brings to life the true stories of a momentous day

D-Day to Berlin
At a terrible cost, the Allies path had finally cleared, but as Allied armies poured into Germany they began to stumble across the Nazi’s darkest secret—­­the concentration camps.

Auschwitz
This is the definitive screen history of the evolution of Auschwitz, how it fit into the Nazis’ plan for the conquest of the East and how scarcely a country in Europe was untouched by its existence.
