The Collapse of the Third Reich: Lies, Fear, and Treason

Long before Germany’s final defeat, Hitler’s empire was already collapsing from within. Rivalry, paranoia, and desperation tore the Third Reich apart as generals defied orders, ministers plotted, and the SS turned on its own army. This feature unites seven episodes charting the slow implosion of a regime at war with itself. Included episodes: • When Rommel Defied Hitler – The Desert Fox realised the war was lost and tried to negotiate a truce before being forced to take poison. • The 20 July Plot – Stauffenberg’s bomb came within minutes of killing Hitler, the last serious attempt to end the war from within Germany. • When the SS Tried to Save Themselves – In 1945, Himmler’s men sought deals with the Allies, abandoning the cause they once swore to die for. • Goering and the Dying Luftwaffe – Once the Reich’s hero, Goering presided over an air force reduced to ruins, luxury, and delusion. • When Italy Turned on Hitler – Mussolini’s fall shattered the Axis, and Italian troops suddenly fought their former German allies across the peninsula. • Himmler Turns on Hitler – As Berlin burned, the head of the SS secretly tried to negotiate peace and sealed his own death. • When Hitler’s Generals Fought Each Other – Rivalries among field marshals crippled the Wehrmacht’s last defenses as the Allies closed in. It is the story of an empire imploding, not defeated from without but devoured from within. #WWII #Betrayal #ThirdReich #HistoryDocumentary #WorldWar2 All footage is courtesy of public domain archives or part of the Wikimedia Commons.
