5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Series, June 1, 2010

This review is from: Inside the Third Reich Box Set (DVD)

Excellent film footage seldom seen and then footage seen often blended together with a fresh view. Excellent narration. The focus of this series of DVDs is on topics usually explored briefly in other documentaries. This series serves to focus and then present an indepth representation.

For those interested in something more than an overview of isolated topics. The Goebbels Experiment is a narration developed from his diary. The focus on Goebbels helps in placing the Reich players in their respective hierarchial order. Notwithstanding none of this history needs repeating, the study of the Third Reich remains a confusing abomination and each perspective adds information albeit no additonal understanding of why enough never seems to be enough.

4.0 out of 5 stars NOT THE MINI-SERIES about Albert Speer, April 23, 2009

By

This review is from: Inside the Third Reich Box Set (DVD)

While I was disappointed that this was not the ABC Circle Films mini series, "Inside the Third Reich", the story of Albert Speer's role in the third reich, I was pleasantly surpised by the four documentries that were included in the set. I would have been even happier had it been the Rutger Hauer mini series. I guess it pays to wait for the description before ordering. I'll have dig out my laser discs and player and make my own dvd version, until Disney decides to issue the mini series on dvd.

2.0 out of 5 stars Selectvely Censored for PC Conformity - The Goebbles Experiment, November 23, 2010

(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Inside the Third Reich Box Set (DVD)

The biggest revelation contained in (or more to the point, censored from) the carefully written and edited video titled the "Goebbles Experiment" is the use of the film itself as a Pro-Homosex Propaganda Tool.

While it has been clearly established that the Nazi Party was created and led by Homo-Anal Coprophile Ephebophiles such as founder Ernst Rohm and his protégé Hitler, this fact as well as the purge known as the "Night of the Long Knives" have been completely censored from the video.

Ernst Rohm is Never mentioned once, despite his central role in forming and leading the Nazis and their homosex terrorist Storm Troopers during their rise to power. The facts of the purge of 1934 and Goebbles thoughts on it are completely omitted and the story simply skips over those central events as if they never happened, which is good propaganda if not good historical documentary ethics.

The use of scenes from the notorious propaganda film "Triumph of the Will" - without mention that its immediate predecessor 'Triumph of Faith" (the two - by the same director Leni Riefenstahl, are eerily similar) was recalled and almost all copies destroyed - because it showed Rohm and his Protege Hitler as Equals in the party, is a serious breach of Documentary Integrity - in a film alleging to be about Nazi Propaganda.

In propaganda trick that even Goebbles would approve of, the only mention of the Homosex Perversions that pervaded the Nazi movement is in Goebbles lamentations that he is being unfairly labeled as one of the same. This `unfair' characterization is handled deftly by the editors focus on Gobbles eventual marriage and children, which by inference discounts the facts about his boy raping comrades like Rohm and Heines.

Brief mention is made of Goebbles unhappiness with his early work in Munich, but nothing of the conditions that led to this - despite the fact that Munich was a nexus for the pervasive endemic Homosex Ephebophilia that truly characterized the Nazis and particularly Rohm's Storm Troopers.

Thus in the end a rather slick hollyweird documentary about a propagandist, becomes in itself Propaganda - carefully sanitizing the ugly truth of the rank perversions that made the Nazis what they were, because it suits a more modern agenda of the hollyweird homosex lobby.

Beyond that - there are a few good quotes, particularly those about "Change" - which could have (and perhaps were) recycled by the next generation of fascists for the 2008 Presidential Campaign.

I recommend that those interested in the deliberately `missing' pieces to the puzzle - read a copy of "The Pink Swastika" by Abrams and Lively, as well as view the History Channel documentary titled "Night of the Long Knives" and the first five episodes of the Military Channel documentary "Hitler's Bodyguard."

Because only by augmenting the `Goebbles Experiment' with outside sources covering the Censored material - can one understand the propaganda experiment that is the video itself.
