Hitlers Helfer

Hess, Himmler, Goebbels, Göring, Speer, Dönitz, Mengele, Eichmann, Schirach, Ribbentrop, Freisler, Bormann. A 12-episode documentary series about the worst bunch of the 20th century. (29.09.2006)

Hitler's Henchmen is a pinnacle of documentary filmmaking in terms of both content and form, and the series can be considered a benchmark for other documentary projects. It's a meticulous work; I didn't find a single flaw in the entire, extensive series. Guido Knopp has been systematically studying World War II and Nazi Germany for many years and is currently one of the best experts on the subject. Knopp relentlessly delves into the painful past of his country and does not shy away from even the most painful aspects. Overall impression 100%. (13.06.2006)
