Oct-19 7:35pm SBS-TV: History – The Monster
Having bathed in adulation and success for a decade, this episode discovers how Hitler reacts when the tide of war turns against him.
As he struggles to stay in control, expert analysis reveals the darkest arts of his personality. Driven by his belief in a worldwide Jewish conspiracy, he accelerates the Holocaust and, gripped by obsession and denial, sacrifices millions of lives on the eastern front. Then, whilst others suffer, he retreats to the comforts of his palatial country home and drug addiction. There is no flicker of empathy in Hitler’s mind, even as the country he says he loves starts to burn.
