Wie konnte es geschehen? - Teil 1: "Deutschland erwache..." (1914 - 1938)

The documentary features significant historical figures including Paul von Hindenburg, Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, Heinrich Himmler, and Albert Speer. It presents a critical perspective on the impact of the First World War, referred to as the "primal catastrophe of the 20th century," which set the stage for the devastation that followed.

By revisiting the roots of German history during this era, the film provides essential context for understanding the sociopolitical landscape of Europe leading up to World War II. This focus on pivotal historical moments makes it a relevant piece for collectors interested in military history and the political climate of early 20th-century Germany.
