Joachim Fest & Christian Herrendoerfer – Hitler – Eine Karriere AKA Hitler, a Career 1977)

Hitler A Career is Joachim Fest’s (who had written the definitive history of Hitler and movie based on his book) controversial German documentary film about the inevitability of Hitler and Fascism within Germany.

Narrated by Stephen Murray, it tells the story of Hitler’s rise to power from a German perspective; and Hitler’s uncanny ability to satisfy the German people’s emotional and psychological needs.
But how did this unknown Austrian boy seduce the German people into becoming a Nazi state?
Why did Germany follow Hitler to the brink of destruction?

Fest’s documentary film answers these questions by tracing the roots of fascism to Germany’s historical heritage. Using unseen footage from the German war archives, Hitler A Career presents a compelling picture of the rise and fall of Hitler and the Nazi empire. It was not Hitler who created Nazi Germany; but Germany itself that created Hitler.

Quote:
The Hollywood-produced narrative fiction film Holocaust (1978) was televised in the Federal Republic of Germany and produced a storm of audience response.
Even more notable was the favorable reception of Joachim Fest’s Hitler—eine Karriere (Hitler, A Career, 1977), which due to its “objective” documentary character was recommended as educational material in Bavarian schools.

In Die Zeit of August 5, 1977, Wim Wenders polemicizes against the so-called objective character of Fest’s film by pointing out that Fest almost exclusively relied on images produced by Hitler’s propaganda machine.

Quote:
To younger viewers the film is a revelation. The school system of West Germany after the war either disregarded the Hitler period or raced through it. Among older viewers the reaction is often uneasiness. Says one Berliner, 76: ‘That was how Hitler was. He was black magic, and intoxicated people.’

Says Fest: ‘If you want to make a society a little more secure against someone like Hitler, then you must give people an understanding of the forces that were so appealing. There is a big need to know how it all could have happened.’ –TIME Magazine, 1977
