Hitler's World: The Post War Plan

Both before and during the war, transport was a critical lifeline for Nazi Germany. Something that Adolf Hitler understood all too well, which is why it played such an important part in his plans for the preparation of war. You only have to look at the Nazi's motorway network, the Autobahn, which still survives to this day, to see how serious they were about creating the world's greatest transport system - not just within Germany, but throughout the whole of Nazi-conquered Europe.

Adolf Hitler had a clear idea of what he considered to be a model citizen of the Third Reich. For him, a true Nazi was much more than just a blonde-haired, blue-eyed Aryan of Germanic decent. A true and loyal Nazi would live and breathe the regime, incorporating it into every aspect of their lives. What they read, how they dressed, and even who they married would all be strictly controlled in order for them to conform to his ideals. Guy takes a look at how Hitler implemented these changes through various policies and laws.

In May 1945, one week after Adolf Hitler committed suicide, the Allies accepted the surrender of Nazi Germany and war in Europe was finally over. The Nazis had been beaten and people all over Britain took to the streets to celebrate victory. Now, we've discovered just how advanced the plans were for Britain and what we might have seen if Hitler and his armies had actually won the war. These were not just Nazi pipe dreams, these were detailed plans and preparations, many of which were already being implemented. From pre-war spying, concentration camps on British soil to national landmarks earmarked by the Nazis, in this episode, we'll discover what Hitler's plans for Britain really were.
