Hitler. The Rise to Power.

The new episode of "History Lessons with Tamara Eidelman" is dedicated to Hitler's rise to power, a remarkable story of how a destitute failure and a talentless artist became an idol for millions. How did he manage it? What was it? A mass madness? Playing on national complexes? Skilful use of big corporations' money? We will explore these questions in the lecture "Hitler. The Rise to Power."
