The actor who played the adult Hilter, Robert Carlyle, is an incredibly talented actor and his performance was pure perfection. Unless my source is wrong and he has won an Emmy award, I am baffled as to why he hasn't. I really hope they do a sequel to this, but only if Robert Carlyle plays Hitler again.
I must add that in no way, shape or form do I commend the barbaric atrocities of WW2, but this mini-series is superbly written and as far as I'm aware, historically accurate. All the other areas in-between, is how I would imagine Hitler behaving. The intense background music made this series even better. Bravo, bravo!
