Edward VIII The Nazi King
(BBC)

seen on Netflix 12/13/17

For the information that this documentary presents, I would give a rating of 5 stars, however the individuals interviewed (although real participants or were close to real participants) made this documentary drag. The soundtrack added to the ponderous and dour tone. I came to this documentary after watching season 2 of The Crown (very good btw). I was fascinated how close England came to having a sovereign who believed in and admired Hitler. It is probably addressed in some historical text, but how did a disgraced former monarch know so much about certain aspects of  England's war effort?  It would have been interesting had the documentary gone there and explored those implications. However, as a general political/monarchy overview of the England of the early twentieth century, this documentary is a good starting point.
