The same Germans and their hive thoughts from 1890. The first part is the one giving ”a taste” of things to come. So one can see a licensed historian getting all aroused telling the story of Franco killing somebody in the street. The producers are so happy to show the Nazi salute, after all it's ”a historical fact”, no glorification. Followed by cheap soap opera psychology talking about Franco's life of abuse. They are going to tell how ”for centuries” Spain ”has ruled the seas”, yea, the argument for each war started by Germany: the others have colonies, and they have to be happy only with enslaving other German speakers. Than the show starts. First episode. Hitler's news bureau at the microphone: somehow the Army is ”keeping the peace” in Morocco, against the brown people asking for independence. Never mind that. A few minutes later: both sides have perpetrated abuse and torture. How was it with the army and the peace?
