Adolf Hitler: The Greatest Story Never Told

My Rating : 9/10

WW II documentary that's well worth the viewing in its 6 hr 32 minutes entirety.

Extremely well-executed and a brilliant soundtrack.

Highest recommendation.

I felt guilty buying this and almost fearful watching it as if doing something wrong. I feel sad at the story but more angry than anything at the guff we have been fed about this period of time, this country and this man. More than angry, disgusted. This sort of cover up of truth eventually comes out and turns people against the con artists. We should all be able to judge for ourselves. I feel a great weight has been lifted. So glad something ( maybe the increasing dishonesty of politics?) Drew me to idly wonder about this. I wonder what else is being spun and covered up? this documentary has plenty of footage, facts etc that were new to me although I have a major degree in history, including ww2. Did I just not dig deep enough? Were our approved texts biased? Did my lecturers steer us away from unapproved sources? We really can't move forward properly until we have our past truthfully viewed. All this talk of history from the bottom up should be applied here. In all, harrowing, hard but enlightening and ultimately, beneficial to know all this.

This documentary does a great job in balancing the narrative of World War 2. The film portrays the rise of Hitler, the National Socialists and the lead-up to WW2 from the German perspective. It could thus be said to be biased in favour of the National Socialists, but not more so than the average Western mainstream documentary whitewashes the Allies' war effort.

This is certainly the best and most informative WW2 documentary I've seen, which is all the more fascinating given the low-budget production.

This documentary ought to be compulsory viewing in all public schools worldwide. If it were, the US would never get away with invading small counties in the Middle East on false pretenses.

A must see!

Hitler. We are taught that there was never a more brutal, genocidal maniac in the history of the world. You risk ridicule by suggesting otherwise but this is exactly what Dennis Wise has done. The Greatest Story Never Told is quite amateurish in some respects. The narration is stilted, the editing could well have been done in a back bedroom and the subject matter tends to lose its way before returning again to its main theme, but that does not stop the film being absolutely compelling. There has always been aspects of WW2 that just don't seem to fit. Why would a monster like Hitler have such a massive following? Why would a monster promote family holidays and car ownership for the working classes, and why risk certain war over territory in Poland? Why would Churchill accept nothing less than total, unconditional surrender when a negotiated peace could have saved lives on all sides? What was propaganda and what is the truth? Churchill is credited with saying that history is written by the victors. Wise offers an alternative to this and allows viewers to review what they think they know about Hitler and perhaps to see things in a different way. A way that has not been entirely written by the victors.

I have never seen such an amazing perspective to a documentary, about the 'Greatest Story Never Told'! It included rare historical footage, which is quite stunning. The content was extremely easy to understand and very informative. The footage is presented with a background Soundtrack that is not horrific or dark like every other documentary, but very calm and suitable, so that you find yourself in the past watching the history pass in front of you. The movie was separated in several chapters, which is helpful for the viewer to understand every single detail about the content. This documentary is not manipulating me to hate someone, who I never met in my life before. This is the main reason I liked this movie. I was able to see another human being in front of me. I can only thank for the eye opening experience that completely changed my view towards history and the world… I know now, that people need to learn their history themselves, and only themselves. You are free to search, so use this opportunity. We people are scared to search,or speak out the truth. It's simply 'forbidden'. It's the same thing as someone holding his hands in front of our eyes, and we are afraid to say something. Something is supposed to change in our minds...
