Hitler and the Nazis: Evil on Trial

The Nuremberg trials are the centre point of a documentary series that looks at the rise of Adolf Hitler and the sheer scale of Nazi wrongdoing, asking how it happened and whether it could happen again. Historians analyse how the dictator tapped into existing feelings within Germany, convincing apparently ordinary folk to help exterminate an entire people.

Among the uncomfortable questions posed is whether the trials could ever possibly provide satisfactory justice.
