Expertly weaving in archival footage, dramatic re-creations, interviews with esteemed journalists and historians and audio recordings from the Nuremberg Trials (many of which have only recently been made public), Berlinger paints a stunningly effective portrait of Hitler’s rise to power, the mass murders and other horrors committed by the Third Reich.

The presentation of the trials is the most striking example of a visual style Berlinger employs throughout the series: sliding smoothly back and forth between elaborately staged recreations and real colorized footage, so that you need to pay attention to know whether you are looking at Hermann Goering or the actor playing Hermann Goering (Gabor Sotonyi). Berlinger is going for a seamless dramatic effect, and if it doesn’t always work as drama, it holds your attention. .... The unspoken case they build is comprehensive.

The fact that his/her historical commentary often compared **** to the modern-day political landscape was off-putting and ridiculous. I found this propaganda horrible and extremely fatiguing after watching it. Gives me another reason to cancel my Netflix subscription.

While Hitler And The Nazis: Evil On Trial may not provide a ton of new information for people who have even casually studied the time period before, during and after WWII, Berlinger still does a good job of making a powerful case that the conditions that gave us the horrific atrocities that Hitler and the Nazis committed can very easily happen again.

Some reviewers criticize this series for a few remarks that seem to draw parallels to current politics, but after watching it all, I found these are minimal and likely meant to make the history more relatable. This series generally provides a compelling and concise overview of the events, not shying away from graphical truths. While the acting is stiff at times, the mostly slow motion scenes only serve to support the spoken narrative, which works for me as a story telling style. My main criticism is the limited coverage of the repercussions in France, Belgium, and the Netherlands. While Austria and Poland are well covered, the western countries feel like an afterthought, mainly in the context of Dunkirk, the Blitz and the battle of the Bulge.

So glad I didn't pay to watch this.
This is just like the movie Nuremberg, it appear to be WWII but it's acually about Trump.
"Make Germany great again"
"Anti-immigrant"
I am just so tired of these Netflixers.

The colorized segments are very good. The docudrama segments not so much. The actors look very little like the real persons. **** in particular looks nothing like ****, even though many actors have pulled the impersonation off, like Alec Guinness in ****: the last Ten Days or Bruno Ganz in Downfall. **** skull had a distinc shape, nothing like the actor's, and the actor's face is all wrong too. It's almost comical, The contrast between original footage and the staged footage just makes the latter ridiculous. The dramatized Nuremberg trial scenes sometimes contain original audio, but they are way out of sync with the video and again the actors do not resemble their originals. Lots of obviously fake newspaper front-pages. As a production, it's an incoherent disaster.

"**** and the ****: Evil on Trial" provides a thorough overview of the **** rise to power. The historical content is well-researched and informative. However, the series loses its objectivity by injecting modern political slants, particularly in Episode 3, where Anne Berg's comparison of **** Bavarian retreat to Mar-a-Lago is misplaced and unnecessary. As an independent voter, I value unbiased information and resist being swayed by political propaganda. Ironically, using such tactics echoes the very methods that brought **** to power. Enough is enough—keep historical documentaries free from contemporary political agendas.

Horrendous historical accounting of actual history. This show should be removed from every media outlet. Jews killing 60 million Christians leading up to the war. Question why the **** came to be and question the holohoax in general. It's all fake
