How could a political party as fundamentally evil and overtly racist as the Nazis come to power? This remains one of the most enigmatic questions of the last century. Acclaimed historian Laurence Rees examines what led a cultured nation at the heart of Europe to commit the atrocities it did. In so doing, he exposes popular myths and encourages understanding of the real forces that led to one of the darkest chapters in modern history. Was it simply the hypnotic power of Hitler’s rhetoric? Did the Gestapo really impose themselves by terror on an unwilling population? Through interviews with witnesses and perpetrators, along with archive film and records, this six-part series unveils a more chilling reality.

The Nazis – A Warning from History is an attempt to vilify every German who lived in the 20th century and to systematically categorize them as “evil”. Obviously this is some effort to deflect current controversial political issues onto some past event and “learn again” from History. Well, no one has ever “learnt from History” and it repeats. America claims to be a nation of “democracy” when it has spent the last six years creating bloodshed in the middle east, all for the control of oil reserves. The book should concentrate on the political and economic forces that shaped the 1930 German state and not debase the German people.

The national socialists or known as Nasdp (National Socialist Deutsche Partei) once led by the founder Anton Drexler) became the Nazis under the new leader Adolf Hiedler mispelled by a church pastor as Hitler. A wandering miller named Alois Hiedler was a physical abuser of his son Adolf,never liked that his son got involved in the arts and wanted to be a famous painter in Vienna. Adolf said “I would have been a car salesman if i was not the fuehrer of deutschland”
History proved otherwise instead of a car sales man Adolf became like his dad to the extreme. The only love of his life was his german shepard and war.
Hatred and violence and the almost genocide of the jewish people was hitler’s plan from the beginning to the end of the third reich in 1945.
Today the anti-semitism, the violence, and the hatred of the nazis still continue today in the neo nazi movements like the badenmeinhof. The muslims have learned from their master hitler all to well. In germany recently the muslims had a big sign saying “Hitler was right”. tells any person that muslims are nazis. Hitler and his propaganda (lies) infiltrated into middle eastern arab policy and beliefs in the 1930′s.
From what is going on no has learned the warning from history.
