Hitler returns to a revolutionary Munich in 1919 and, still employed by the army, is assigned to report on the newly-formed political parties in the city. His participation in the First World War on the German side is then shown in a series of episodes that includes his promotion to the rank of corporal, his awarding of the Iron Cross for bravery, and his blinding during a gas attack. The opening is a montage of Hitler's life from 1899 to 1914, when he left Austria for Munich. "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." Plot The quotation disputably attributed to Edmund Burke is displayed at the beginning and end of the film: The film's subplot follows the struggles of Fritz Gerlich, a German journalist who opposes the rising Nazi Party. The miniseries, which premiered simultaneously in May 2003 on CBC in Canada and CBS in the United States, received two Emmy Awards, for Art Direction and Sound Editing, while Peter O'Toole was nominated for Best Supporting Actor. The film also focuses on Ernst Hanfstaengl's influence on Hitler's rise to power.
It stars Robert Carlyle in the lead role and explores Adolf Hitler's rise and his early consolidation of power during the years after the First World War and focuses on how the embittered, politically fragmented and economically buffeted state of German society following the war made that ascent possible. Hitler: The Rise of Evil is a Canadian television miniseries in two parts, directed by Christian Duguay and produced by Alliance Atlantis.
