''"At the end of the second World War, Germany was in ruins. The Fuhrer, Adolf Hitler, lay dead, killed by his own hand in a Berlin bunker. When Hitler came to power, he had promised his people a brave new world and a bright new future.

He oversaw a campaign of industrialized slaughter, which killed over six million Jews. And to the world, he brought a war of unparalleled destruction - a war that would claim over forty million lives, over half of them civilians."'' - Introduction to a documentary on Discovery Channel | ''"At the end of the second World War, Germany was in ruins.
