Full of inaccuracies

[deleted]

Some of these things are down to what they call dramatic licence,but number 7 is just wrong,the Germans had not won the war in the east,the Russians had given up and the TREATY OF BREST-LITOVSK meant that the Russians had agreed to give up lots territory,so the Germans had to move into the areas given up by the Russians and protect the border from the nationalist rebellions which were breaking out all over.

I saw this drama again recently and as a history graduate I understand that people don't always get the difference between a drama and a documentary,but there is no such thing as a work of either type that does not have a point of view.

Obviously the thing is anti Hitler it seeks to explain how Hitler became Hitler but it is a populist piece so is not deep.
I have read a huge biography of Hitler and am not sure that it is "full of inaccuracies"
Germany 1900-1933 is a complicated story and the thing bores at points but I think some of the critics here are a bit to pro Hitler.
This thing is not perfect of course but it is a good drama,if it inspires people to study the history then that is good.

Probably what you will find is that they wrote the script to be as acurate as possible, then found it to be rather bland and not all that good, so were a little poetic with the truth.... but they have to do it in a way that Hitler is still viewed as a monster and the movie will not alter peoples opinion on him.

Basically its easy to say "that is why he hated the Jews", but to be honest it is not as clear cut as that, so best to just alter the truth slightly.

This is nothing new.... look at Braveheart, it is so far from the truth that it is unreal, borderline insulting (in school we were told to just completely ignore the movie when doing reports on William Wallace, and the teacher automatically failed anyone who had just sat through Braveheart taking notes)

He didn't just give up in the art academy. He was just judged to not have included enough faces.
