The First World War opened a world of chaos and devastation. But how could Hitler and his Nazism emerge at this time?

France 1940: It is the time of the Second World War and the German Wehrmacht defeats the French army in only six weeks. Adolf Hitler is at the peak of his power. But his rise to power began all with World War I, the first truly global war. Conducted with industrial weapons, the world war became an industrialized slaughter. In a four-year slaughter, 20 million people were killed and 21 million wounded.

At the end of the First World War, it is unclear: What will happen after the First World War? This is Adolf Hitler's opportunity. Originally, an Austrian artist and motorist, Hitler volunteered for the Bavarian army. The First World War boosted Hitler's own politicization and radicalization.

Watch the full documentary and learn how Hitler's power began to rise.
