On 12th March, 1938 the streets of Austria are vibrant with the cheers to thousands of people as they welcome their new leader of the new German Reich.

In this fresh and original 3 part series, we tell the story of the explosive escalation to World War II through the eyes of the man pulling the strings of it all: Adolf Hitler.
