In this episode we will look at how Adolf Hitler, Heinrich Himmler, Herman Goring, Josef Goebbels and Rudolf Hess made their individual journeys through pre-war Germany, the first world war to Hitler's first speeches in the Beer Halls, his arrest and eventual imprisonment for treason, and the writing of his infamous book Mein Kampf in 1924.

How Hitler able to instil absolute devotion from those under him, and who he worked directly with to create his deadly chain of command.

This episode will really begin with a quick summary of the War through a time line of stills and dates; key events; key decisions; strategic failures; determination to destroy everyone; but focusing on these power mad individuals now realizing they now need to look out for the impending arrival of the Russian and US push to Germany in early 1945.
