Blood & Iron: The Story of the German War Machine

About Blood & Iron: The Story of the German War Machine: A three part mini-series showing the development of German industrial might throughout the 20th century and how Germany became a central foe of Western powers in the world wars that dominated the first half of 20th century life. This episode starts with the destruction of Germany in the waning days of World War II. German leaders faced trials at Nuremberg, a number were judged guilty and executed, and some such as industrial chieftain Alfried Krupp were sentenced to lengthy prison terms. Germany's industrial might was no more, but Germany began the process of what became known as an "economic miracle," in which Germany would become once again Europe's leading industrial power.
