Watching "Apocalypse: The Rise of Hitler" documents Hitler's rise to power is eye opening

2. YUP!!

Convince the "poorly educated" that you are looking out for them as you ROB them blind of all Civil Rights.

Play on the emotions of the crowd that "OTHERS" are after them too.

Brainwash your people that if you do not support ME, I will punish you.

This is what Trump is doing to the Republican Party and to those running for office. No wonder the GOP have lost their courage to stand up for the Country and People they say they represent. They cow tow to Trump lest they be "punished" for not pledging loyalty.

5. Thank you still_one....I paid attention in History Class....

All through High School and College. I Minored in History, which included World History as well. I continue to read, mostly Non-Fiction, to this day.

4. Where are you watching this? I am kind of off grid, but I would like to see that if possible.

6. It is on a channel called AHC, which is called "American Heroes Channel", which I don't usually

watch, but this seems like a documentary channel.

I believe I have seen this also on Smithsonian, and something similar to the PBS series, "The world at War"

I was just flipping through channels, and caught this when they were discussing how Hitler started to invalidate all the opposition parties, along with his speeches promising the world, and who the enemies in Germany were, and it just seemed to echo what the madman in the WH is doing, it gave me chills

7. Thanks! I will try to find it. I am a big history fan and love those kind of documentaries.

9. I wouldn't be surprised if it was on Netflix. It is a series. This was episode 2. It is from 2011

so it has been around

12. A good book to read would be

Richard Evans' The Coming of the Third Reich, it's a great read and scary.

8. I've been saying that for over a year now.

History channel and AHC has been running Hitler documentaries once a week for quite awhile. I watch them when their on and now can site specific instances where tRump and Hitler have a lot in common. Truly frightening. People have to wake up or history will truly repeat itself.

10. A frightening reminder of . . .

Why We Fight.
