"Rise of the Nazis". PBS is airing a three-part documentary

[raccoon]

About this. Last Tuesday at 9:00 the first part aired. The next two parts will also be on the next coming Tuesdays at 9:00.

I thought some of y’all would be interested.

1. I watched it

The parallels to Trumpism are chilling. I had not known about Kurt von Schleicher before seeing this episode.

I think that Mitch McConnell could be the U.S.’s von Schleicher in that he happily uses Trumpass to retain power, but, ultimately, cannot control him.

9. Yes. I saw the same parallel.

2. Watched it

And will watch the rest of them. Anyone who cannot see the parallels of the 1930’s and what this adm has been doing is blind..on purpose. Frontline is on after this..

4. + agree plus the new frontline on after it this coming week American Voices: A Nation in Turmoil:

Americans confront the pandemic, racial tensions, the election and its aftermath.

After the third Rise of Nazis segment the frontline will be about SCOTUS

I recommend the Nazis series as the first segment was very good

6. I watched it - frightening to see how close the parallels are between there & here and then & now.

I will definitely watch the other two parts.

10. Thanks for making me aware of this.

[Yeehah]

11. You can stream from pbs.org also

Part 1 is on there now.

It could happen here. In fact, with such a large population of gullible, hateful people, it seems almost inevitable it will happen here.

12. Also available on their web page/ap,

And, Amazon Prime, if I am not mistaken, along with a few other related documentaries. Rick Steves' episode on the rise of fascism is also available at both these sites. It should be required viewing. (As should Ken Burns' "The Civil War" series, but that discussion us for another day,)

14. Thanks for heads up!

15. Yikes!!

This is spooky. The parallels to the present are obvious. Regardless of this past election, our political intrigue continues.
