Synopsis

62 million people who comprised a sophisticated, highly educated society, home to some of the world's pre-eminent artists, writers, composers and thinkers. In the next 15 years they would perpetrate one of history's greatest disasters and reduce their own nation to rubblestrewn defeat. A collage of materials (home movies, archival footage, animated and educational films, commercials and political propaganda) is used to express the false idealism that characterized the Nazis' rise to power. On the soundtrack are popular tunes, a panoply of music that the average German citizen would have blithely enjoyed as his nation prepared to wreak havoc on much of the world.
