A documentary in three parts from the book by William Shirer

The veteran American newspaper correspondent William Shirer was the first man to try to compile a complete record of Adolf Hitler's 'thousand-year' Reich, to tell the whole horrifying story from the street-brawling origins through the early victories to the fiery end in a Berlin cellar. So far his monumental work has not been superseded.
The three-part television documentary which derives from Shirer's book follows the text closely, but enhances the words with rare film and with interviews which took years to assemble. Sober and factual, it makes no attempt to dramatise or drive home the moral; the facts as illustrated speak only too clearly and grimly for themselves.
Tonight's first part deals with Hitler's childhood, early manhood, and First War career, with the Weimar Republic and with the origins and establishment of the Nazi party.
