Season 1
Episodes
Seeds of War
History's greatest war began decades before the Blitzkrieg with the rise of Adolf Hitler and his Nazi party. This is a look at the complex political, historical, and industrial forces that led to a war that truly became the war to end all wars.
The Advance
In lightning thrusts, Hitlers Wermacht, Waffen-SS, and Luftwaffe overran enemy armies. This is a look at the weapons, tactics, and strategy of Hitler's quest for control of Europe.
German Air Power
The Luftwaffe was the aerial warfare branch of Nazi Germany's military, the Wehrmacht, during World War II, responsible for the country's air defense, strategic bombing, and support of ground forces.
Luftwaffe Strike!
The Luftwaffe suffered significant losses and decline in effectiveness as the war progressed. Factors such as the Battle of Britain, strategic mistakes, and the Allied air superiority contributed to the Luftwaffe's weakening. By the war's end in 1945, the Luftwaffe had experienced substantial attrition, reduced operational capacity, and diminishing influence on the overall military situation.
Brown Shirts & The SS
The Brownshirts, or SA (Sturmabteilung), were paramilitary units of the Nazi Party in Germany, known for their role in political violence and intimidation before World War II. The SS (Schutzstaffel), on the other hand, was originally the Nazi Party's elite paramilitary organization, evolving into a powerful force responsible for various functions, during the war.
The Fourth Branch
The so-called "Fourth Branch" of the Nazi War Machine.
Hitler Youth
The Hitler Youth (Hitlerjugend in German) was a paramilitary youth organization in Nazi Germany, indoctrinating young people with Nazi ideology and preparing them for future roles in the military and the Nazi Party.
Panzer Division
Panzers referred to the German tanks used by the Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS. These tanks, such as the Panzer IV and Tiger tanks, played a crucial role in the Blitzkrieg tactics employed by the German military, contributing to their early successes in the war.

Industry
Industry follows a group of young graduates competing for a limited set of permanent positions at a top investment bank in London—but the boundaries between colleague, friend, lover, and enemy soon blur as they immerse themselves in a company culture defined as much by sex, drugs, and ego as it is by deals and dividends. As members of the group rise and fall, they must decide whether life is about more than the bottom line.
Snapped
Who are these women and what drives them to kill? Oxygen's hit true crime series, Snapped, profiles fascinating cases of women accused of murder. Did they really do it? And if they did, why? Whether the motivation is revenge against a cheating husband, the promise of a hefty insurance payoff, or putting an end to years of abuse, the reasons are as varied as the women themselves. From socialites to secretaries, female killers share one thing in common: at some point, they all snapped. Each episode of Snapped chronicles the life of a woman who has been charged with murder. These shocking but true stories turn common assumptions about crime and criminals upside down, and prove that even the most unlikely suspects can be capable of murder.

Captivating recreations, along with first-hand accounts from those closest to the victims and law enforcement agents involved in the case, bring each shocking tale to life.
