 Depending
on your view on life Adolf Hitler can be seen as a charismatic
leader who despite his birth outside the Fatherland the nation
compelled it to rise up and follow him unquestioningly!
Or
a manipulative, racist who vocally mesmerised the masses into war,
destruction and genocide.
Actor
writer Pip Utton has taken some of Hitler’s words from 'Mein
Kampf', 'Table Talk' and searched through numerous writings about
his life and times. If Hitler was half as charismatic as Pip I can
almost see how easily it would have been just to follow.
Not
leaving it there yet dropping the Hitler disguise Pip goes on to
discuss today’s world atmosphere almost as a postscript. The
frightening thing is that he went on to show just how easily it
could be for the right revolutionary from any nation to take over
where he left off.
I
never thought I'd think a show about Adolph Hitler could be
fascinating, entertaining and frightening.
