This BBC documentary seeks to answer how did Hitler manage to win the support of the majority of the German people? And to what extent did they share his goal of the mass murder? It argues that most Germans came, after January 1933, to support Hitler because of their belief that he had brought to an end the hardships of the economic depression and the humiliations of Versailles Treaty and points out that by 1936, having fallen to his "fatal attraction," probably over 90% of the German people were, in some degree, supporters of the Nazi regime. What does emerge clearly from the film is the fact that a very large part of the German people was implicated in the genocide if only as passive bystanders.
