[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 433137, member: 23"] I've now watched all four series across twelve hour-long episodes. The same is true for "The Manhunt" theme of the final series. After the compressed time of "The Downfall" - where all three episodes took place across 1945 - this is hugely expansive, spanning many decades following the end of the war. Once again, the political side of things is frightening, particularly the large percentage of Nazis who went on to influential positions, like Kurt Kiesenger who became Chancellor of Germany (him getting exposed with a public slap in the face from Nazi hunter Beate Klarsfeld was quite a moment. Increasingly, real footage of actual persons involved was included, and it's quite sickening to see the denial from murderers like Klaus Barbie (exposed on TV when a canny interviewer suddenly asked him a question in French and he responded in that language) and spin from the likes of Albert Speer (who profited further from his Nazi career with an autobiographical book giving his distorted narrative in which he was a victim, and a series of interviews). And it's saddening to think how few were actually convicted for their crimes: only 1%, it's suggested. [/QUOTE]
