Adolf Hitler: The Greatest Story Never Told

Adolf Hitler: The Greatest Story Never Told (2013)

January. 27,2013

| History Documentary

Far outside what's normally taught as "history", this 6-hour documentary attempts to explain what's normally glossed over - Germany's actions prior to WWII, Hitler's popularity, the support of the Nazis by the Germans, the basis for hardline Nazi stances against Jews, and why Nazism was such a danger to the established world powers. It chronicles the German WWI defeat, communist attempts to take over Germany; hyperinflation during the Weimar Republic, widespread unemployment and misery that served as the foundation of Nazi principles, and Hitler’s amazing rise to power. It also reveals a personal side of Hitler: his family background, his artwork and struggles, and what motivated him to pursue a career in politics. While open to criticism for being "pro-Nazi" in its perspectives, the documentary does present many factual foundations for those perspectives, highlighting an endless list of hypocrisies and double-standards imposed on Germany in the years before, during, and after WWII.

Very disappointing...

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

There were always things I didn't quite understand about WW2 and Hitler. But after watching TGSNT, it's like puzzle pieces coming together. I used to immediately have fear responses whenever I saw pictures of Hitler/NatSocs, but that changed. So many myths dispelled. The horrifying realization that our world is declining because evil won. It was so overwhelming that I had to take a few days off of work, as it was all I could think about. I felt like I was in a daze. To avoid giving away spoilers or repeating what others have said, I'll give some personal background as to how post-WW2 propaganda has affected my life. My family includes people from both allied and axis European countries. Growing up, there were family conflicts that stemmed from WW2 propaganda. Ideas like such-and-such relatives were "on the bad side" in the war, terms like "War OPponent" used. To give you an idea, when I was little I made a picture of dolls, unknowingly using the axis-country's flag colors for their clothes. My allied-country relative rebuked me for those color choices and told me to "fix it or you'll look (insert axis background)". Any time I took an interest in anything to do with that country, I got in trouble. I learned to hate (half) of my background/myself, and deny that part of me.Thanks to this documentary and similar videos, the old dark clouds of shame I felt about having axis-country ancestry floated away. One of the most unexpected things was to hear from Mr. Hitler himself, that my Axis ancestral country was listed as one of many that heroically fought communists, mentioned in one of his speeches. No one (anti-White or pro-White) seems to ever mention Italy/Sicily in a positive light, but for once, someone did. Never in my life had I expected Hitler to (indirectly) tell me it's okay to have axis-country ancestry. It's like a therapist telling an abuse victim that they really do have value.Now if only I could find a documentary that would dispel myths about Mussolini. Wikipedia claims things like Mussolini treated Sicilians worse than jews, but I have no idea which sources can be trusted. For sure, TGSNT showed me that the mainstream narrative cannot be trusted. Despite my long review, I cannot put into words how much this documentary has put right the disturbing myths that I was taught. God bless Dennis Wise for his superb work - the world needs more people like him.

If you watched and enjoyed movies like Schindler's List, Inglourious Basterds, Valkyrie, Iron Sky etc., you should watch documentaries like "The Greatest Story Never Told" and "Hellstorm" as well. There're always two sides of a story, and of course, WW2 is no exception of it

This is absolutely fantastic. I as many went into watching documentry with sceptical thoughts of how it would pan out. But this was amazing . It shows truely what really happened .Makes me question alot of things that went on. Alot of this hidden by Jewish propaganda. I'm surprised this hasn't been banned yet.... It's a beautiful film and I will watch over and over again with shock & also feeling very moved by it. Many times I was in tears from the pictures and films of war. Please watch if possible . This should be shown in school rather than the biased version we were all taught.

This Movie is very long but it needs to be. Denise Wise gathers all the movie and documentary footage that we have in abundance on this subject, though we have very much heard and seen the winners and victims narratives of went on in Germany and ww2, In this movie all that footage is placed in a fashion where you hear the Nazis version of events which are very rarely heard. In this movie many strange aspects of this time in history are made sense of and actually put clarity on the political shape of the world ever since the end of ww2. Why did ww2 really start? what really did NOT happen?, And why is so much untold?. This video will surely offend many, but even if one will not except these version of events, it at least puts forward a much bigger picture than we have all be taught since, and has a haunting message that is relevant to the problems Europe and other western nations are facing today. the music selection is also fantastic and perfectly captures the emotional aspect of it all.
