Double Headed Eagle: Hitler's Rise to Power 1918-1933
Presents a unique and disturbing look at the rise of the Nazi party. The documentary, directed by Lutz Becker, attempts to remain as objective as possible, serving as a neutral observer of the years 1918 through 1933 in Germany. Via newsreel footage and clips of features from the era, the film offers a kaleidoscopic view of the many elements that fueled the rise of the Socialist Nationalist Party, including post-WWI poverty. Hitler occupies a central place in the documentary.

hyped garbage
The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
A quiet and quite powerful documentary showing what led up to Adolf Hitler rising to power. He didn't take power, it was literally given to him.It reminds me of how other countries felt and started running some of its "citizens" out. The racial aspect was completely scary. A blueprint showing how a country impoverished, misused and exploited will find the culprits and make them pay. It also shows how the newly exiled people got their ideas about how they would treat others when they were repositioned in another country.This should be a warning to this country (United States) and the people who have been looked at as the epicenter of this country going off the rails and falling into despair. I'll give you a hint, it's not people of color.
This movie caught my attention with historical clips which I have not seen before. It presented early clips of Hitler as he was growing up and into his position of Fuhrer. As well, clips of his master of propaganda Goebels and others such as Hindenberg, Nazi youth, etc. As well, it was interesting to see what was happening up to the point where the Nazi's took over power in Germany and Hitler's own rise to power. There were 2-3 speeches shown at various Nazi party rallies as well as odd but interesting performance clip of Josephine Baker and a shot of Buster Keaton. This movie contains no dialogue except for some clip audio, which did not take away from it viewing experience.
there are no reviews of this film? strange. but then, what is there to say? a lot of pointless footage with scant substance. I watched for 40 minutes, halfway through, we are taken chronologically through 9 years by this point. we hear about 2 minutes total of speeches from der fuhrer, the rest is a random collection of beat up clips of crowded streets, the occasional rural idyll. either the rest of the film is action packed, full filled and crowded to the rafters with information of some kind.... or it continues as it began for the first half, pretty much devoid of substance and utterly lacking in any power whatsoever. I'm amazed at the high rating of this empty snoozefest.
