ZDF Studios Acquires Hitler’s Power

ZDF Studios has acquired the worldwide distribution rights for the three-part docuseries Hitler’s Power, tracing Adolf Hitler’s rise to power and the events that followed.

Co-produced by Eco Media, History Media and ZDF Digital, the series features never-before-seen images, new personal testimonies, historical film footage and analysis from experts to give perspective on how the Nazi leader was able to take over in 1930s Germany.

The series looks into why the leader was confident of the approval of most Germans, even when the war was clearly lost, and what led average Germans to support the Holocaust.

“Hitler’s Power is very much a modern look at this period of German history, designed for a young audience that is disconnected from the generation who experienced the war or its aftermath,” said Ralf Rückauer, VP Unscripted at ZDF Studios. “With the extensive research undertaken and its high production values, the series offers a distinctive and compelling narrative on the rise of Hitler.”
