From the fragile democracy of the Weimar Republic to the brutal tyranny of the Nazi regime, this in-depth series explores how Germany's descent into chaos paved the way for Adolf Hitler's rise to power. After World War I, Germany faced economic collapse, political instability, and widespread social unrest, creating the perfect storm for radical ideologies to flourish. Tracing the Nazis' emergence from the fringes of politics to their consolidation of power, the series reveals the pivotal events, propaganda, and policies that reshaped Germany into a totalitarian state.
