We can never forget the horrors of the Holocaust which were committed by the Nazis during World War II. It is this theme that future generations of film viewers will see overwhelmingly portrayed mostly as the "embodiment of evil". This story is so critical in our understanding of how individuals who for duty to their country somehow perverted their political and military policies for mass murder to such an extent unlike the world has never seen. This miniseries does an excellent job in capturing the thought processes of the defendants (dramatically) and how the prosecution went about in convicting them. Notably, Brian Cox as Hermann Goering gives a compelling performance showing the former Reichmarshall's final days as prisoner believing his own propaganda. One Interesting thing, Goering admits that the mass murders were senseless. This is good drama but we don't know if this something he actually felt or said. Bottom line is that all of the defendants were equally guilty in the voluntary complicity in the formation of Nazi Germany and its responsiblities of its actions. This miniseries factually portrays the speeches of the prosecution and the politics of the Allies during these times. More or less, convictions were pre-determined. Finally, TNT should be applauded for producing a difficult subject that touches all of us and is so vastly reprehensible that it will never be forgotten and never allowed to occur again.
