Description:

“Folks tuning in to watch I Love the Seventies a few minutes early the last few weeks will have seen one or all of the following: a black and white photograph of a shed full of executed peasant women; a line drawing recreating the image of a ditch the size of a field being filled with 10,000 dead bodies; film of a small stocky man with a moustache being cheered by half a million of his countryfolk as he led them to war; and the gates of a concentration camp, glinting in the afternoon sunlight. BBC2 have just finished repeating their BAFTA award winning 1997 documentary series on the rise and fall of Nazi Germany, but sequenced it ineptly between fond evocations of the ’70s and repeats of classic comedies from the archives. Sure, an inspired alternative to the Saturday night fodder on the other channels between 8pm and 9pm, but why such a bizarre and awkward timeslot, nestling between fun tributes to the past that rely on laughs and loving nostalgia?

It’s the second time this series has been re-shown in almost as many years, but unlike most fare that comes in for the Beeb rapid repeat treatment, it’s wholly deserving of its multiple showings. It remains to my mind perhaps the best historical documentary series, along with The Cold War, the BBC have made during at least the last five years. This final episode examined the issue: why did Hitler continue with the war past the point when it was obvious Germany was going to lose?”

“Combining unseen archive footage and a wealth of interview material with “ordinary” people who witnessed or even participated in Hitler’s reign, this eight part 1997 documentary brought fresh light to bear on the rise and fall of The Third Reich. Inevitably, the episode dealing with the Holocaust immobilises the viewer in its harrowing detail and a further blow against that rump of humanity who refuse to believe the genocide ever occurred. Yet of great interest also is the depiction of the nature of Hitler’s dictatorship. He was, it seems, not a driven, workaholic ideologue but a lazy man who, having set his ideas in motion was content to let his subordinates do all the administrative work, fighting for his favour. The series also featured interviews with unrepentant Nazis. There’s a telling moment in which an interviewer confronts an elderly woman with a letter of complaint to the Nazi authorities about a supposedly “subversive” neighbour, bearing her signature. The letter sent the hapless neighbour to her death. At first the woman denies knowledge of the incident, then, when faced with the evidence, glibly wonders why anyone should still bother about events that occurred so long ago. This series shows us exactly why.” –David Stubbs
