Anachronisms: During the segment set in "July 1918" the Lieutenant informs a young Hitler that the unit is to be redeployed to the Eastern Front. Russia had already signed a peace treaty with Germany in 1917 so by this point in the war there was no longer any "Eastern Front". more

Nobody would have followed *this* Hitler, 8 June 2007
1/10
Author: wittmann73 from Guinea-Bissau

Just imagine the real Hitler, who was a master of propaganda and speech, would have been such a mumbling moron as Carlyle portrayed him in this film.

Nobody would have followed him, not even a desperate, unemployed guy in the 1920s.

This is just a Hollywood cardboard piece of propaganda itself, disguised as "true history".

I pity everyone who actually believed anything from this show. Carlyle and the producers didn't get anything right with this.

Why was Hitler able to win so many people, a whole county for his ideas if we was such a sausage? Why did people follow him to death? By portraying him as such a loser they make their own film totally unbelievable. This film is a mixture of old WW2 propaganda and MTV urban myths about one of the most important persons of the last century. Imagine a film about Churchill where the director only shows him as a drunkard for 90 mins.

This film is a disgrace and I wonder how they could talk an actor like Carlyle into this dreck.
