Some how the communist party just dissapeared.. 1000's of them rounded up and tortured with steel whips and power drills .. Next thing you know everyone is saying Heil Hitler..

I’ve been watching it and it is fascinating (in a very bad way of course). Learned a lot of things I never knew about how fast he moved. How he basically tried to hide everything about his family. Very tough to watch but very interesting to see how one person could very quickly gain so much power and become so irrational and non-human all at the same time. You wonder what would have happened if the German economy wasn't so bad before his rise.......
