The portrayal of the Nazis rise to power is chilling as that could easily happen today given the people's dissatisfaction with those currently in office.

I've watched it a few times. My grandfather was at Gold Beach 1944.
I have the complete set on DVD, along with the complete set of the Great War. Millions of people killed and maimed, women egging the men to go and teach them a lesson, make it the war to end war.
A hundred years down the line we are back to square one listening to the same old bollux.
