Netflix: Anybody watching "Hitler's Circle of Evil?"

It's a docu-drama, but pretty well done. What is pretty chilling is that it starts from the beginning and while the parallels aren't exact, you can see the same dynamics in play now. I am only about a third of the way through it, but I would highly recommend it. I keep thinking of the Mark Twain quote: "History doesn't repeat itself, but it often rhymes."
