Ttc History of Hitler's Empire

The development of the arts in Europe from the Middle Ages to the modern era is an astonishing record of cultural achievement, from the breathtaking architecture of Gothic cathedrals to the daring visual experiments of the Cubist painters. We all have our favorite artists, periods, or styles from this immensely rich tradition, but how many of us truly know the full sweep of European art? How many of us can connect the dots of influences and inspiration that link the Renaissance with Mannerism, or that tie the paintings of the creator of modern art, Edouard Manet, to masterpieces from centuries earlier?

A History of European Art is your gateway to this visually stunning story. In 48 beautifully illustrated lectures you will encounter all the landmarks you would expect to find in a comprehensive survey of Western art since the Middle Ages. Works such as Giotto's Arena Chapel, Van Eyck's Ghent Altarpiece, Leonardo's The Last Supper, Michelangelo's David, Vermeer's View of Delft, Van Gogh's The Starry Night, Picasso's Guernica, and hundreds more. You will also find works that are completely new to you. Plus you'll be introduced to lesser-known artists—perhaps names you've heard but never connected to specific works—and you'll understand why they deserve to be classed among the great masters.

In fact, many aristocrats in the military regarded the Nazi-Ideology with reserve, but their resistance, also in clear sight of the horrendous crimes carried out by the regime, was confined to a small circle. No active field marshal rose to support the men of the failed assassination attempt of July 20, 1944. Erich von Manstein, for instance, categorically declined the recruiting efforts of the conspirators with the words: "German field marshals do not mutiny". A fatal delay. Only the high military could still have had the power to bring about the downfall of the Hitler regime from within. Subsequent to the successful documentary series "Hitler - A Profile" and "Hitler's Henchmen", Guido Knopp and his team continue this significant television analysis of the Nazi period with a new series on the six most important German generals. Profiling these men, the series continues the pose the question as to why it all happened. Rommel, Keitel, Paulus, Udet, Canaris and Manstein - six careers caught in the tangle between obedience and crime. What led all these officers to put their military talents at the service of a murderous dictator? To what depth was their involvement in Hitlers crimes? To what limits did their obedience lead them?

In 1938, Hitler conceived the megalomaniac idea of creating the largest art center in Europe in his home town of Linz. At the beginning of the war, not only did his armies advance but also his art thieves began to fan out in their great foray. When the war’s tide finally turned, Stalin also had countless works of art taken from German art collections to the East.

Never has a generation been so completely taken over by a totalitarian state as it was the case in Hitler's Third Reich: at the age of 10 children joined the 'Jungvolk' movement, at 14 they joined the Hitler Youth, and at 18 they joined the party, the 'Wehrmacht', the SA, or the SS. This 5-part documentary by Guido Knopp and the ZDF Contemporary History Department is the first comprehensive film portrayal of the young people in the Third Reich. With in-depth witness statements and some previously unpublished archive material, the documentary demonstrates how Hitler succeeded in gaining power over 'his children' through years of manipulation

This documentary relates the long and eventful journey of an exceptional masterpiece of European art: the Ghent Altar, created by van Eyck, which for the Belgian people represents a national shrine. Hardly another European work of art was brought to so many places and passed through so many hands after it had been stolen. The Ghent Altar represents a case study in the history of the the Second World War’s unconscionable art pillaging.

I was ten years old, and then the German people, or so it said in the newspaper, were giving all 10-year-olds to the Fuhrer. We were given to the Fuhrer(for Hitler's birthday). On the big sports ground the entire section was assembled. All the platoons stood in serried ranks and publicly swore and oath of allegiance. I remember the words. "I promise always to do my duty in the Hitler Youth out of love and loyalty to the Fuhrer and our Flag.
