In 1945, 160 German cities lay in ruins, and across Europe, the loss of millions of lives, billions in material assets, and countless cultural treasures was mourned. The film poses the question, "How could this happen?" and traces events back to 1914, when the First World War, the "primal catastrophe of the 20th century," began. From the upheavals and turmoil of the Weimar Republic to the first five years of the Third Reich, this documentary paints a fascinating picture of the politics and everyday life of a nation that would soon experience its greatest trauma. This film is part one of the first comprehensive cinematic portrayal of the Third Reich in decades. Unlike any previous production, this work brings together rarely shown color footage and specially colorized material to bring the era of National Socialism out of historical abstraction, making it vivid and impactful, particularly for younger generations.
