3.0 out of 5 stars Home Movies of the Nazi Movement, August 23, 2007

This review is from: The Double Headed Eagle - Hitler's Rise to Power 1918-1933 [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is sort of a home-movie compilation of the Nazi's rise to power. For the most part, it's not terribly interesting or compelling. More editing would have helped get the message across, but if you're just interested in seeing old footage of people rallying in the streets during this period, then this might be ok.

4.0 out of 5 stars This is more a work of film art than historical documentary!, February 10, 2004

This review is from: The Double Headed Eagle - Hitler's Rise to Power 1918-1933 [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is a "film school" style masterpiece! The makers of this film use stock newsreel and cinema footage and edit same into an arty "stream of consciousness" style documentary about Hitler's rise to power. I recommend this for the most advanced collectors of this historical era who might like to see history unfold without intrusive narration. It really works like an arm chair time machine! It succeeds in showing that most of the German people could never have guessed what was coming. Heck, they were too busy in dealing with what was already there! Hindenburg? He probally thought it was better to deal with the enemy he knew (Hitler)rather than the enemy he didn't! (The Reds!) Hitler's anti semitism? Just another culter kamph! The beer hall "Putch", "Mein Kamph!", and the theories of aryan superiority simply proves that those who drink beer, think beer!

5.0 out of 5 stars Berkeley 1973, July 17, 2003

By 

Gerald Bradshaw (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Double Headed Eagle - Hitler's Rise to Power 1918-1933 [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I just ordered this video. I assume it is the same one I saw as a student at Berkeley in 1973. The title then was "Swastika" and it was a documentary directed by Philippe Mora. I have been looking for this title for years and only recently discovered that it has been renamed "The Double Headed Eagle." Please let me know if this is incorrect.
