Erwin Leisers Dokumentation des Nazi-Terrors: Erwin Leisers Dokumentation, mit filmischem und historischem Sachverstand gestaltet, gehört zu den besten Darstellungen des “Dritten Reiches”. Es ist vor allem das Material der Nationalsozialisten selbst, das die Grundlage für Leisers präzise und dadurch um so grauenerregendere Schilderung der Geschichte des Nazi-Terrors liefert: Neben Dokumenten unter anderem aus französischen, sowjetischen und polnischen Archiven zeigt der Film hauptsächlich Filmmaterial aus dem Propagandaministerium der Nazis in Babelsberg. Die Filmbewertungsstelle der Deutschen Länder verlieh dem Film das höchste Prädikat.
