ZDF - Storm Over Europe Series 1 (2002) Part 3 The Fall of Rome

Storm Over Europe

This documentary deals with the mass migration of Germanic tribes at the very beginning of European history. In 120 BC the Cimbrians and Teutons emerged from Denmark and waged war on the Roman Empire to the south, with conspicuous success. In the fifth century the Goths, Franks and Vandals joined the bloodthirsty Huns, bringing about the final collapse of the Empire.

For the people of the ancient world, the Huns were “the most feared of all warriors”. Never before had people experienced such brutal fighting. The power of the mounted nomads became a threat to Rome, but other tribes were also on the move and headed to the center of a weakened empire.
