Dennis Wise

Dennis Wise is an internet director of the film production company TruthWillOut. He describes himself as "an independent film maker with a background in entertainment and media. Apart from researching and producing documentaries, today he still produces private videos for clients".https://thegreateststorynevertold.tv/author/tgsnt-admin/ He is best known for his "revolutionary and game-changing documentary" film on Adolf Hitler called The Greatest Story Never Told, which is popular among Neo-Nazi and historical revisionist circles.
==The Greatest Story Never Told==
Wise is best known for making the 2013 ass-numbing 5 hour, 50 minute "documentary" The Greatest Story Never Told, a film which is about one of the most reviled and infamous men in all of history: Adolf Hitler. While the parts covering Hitler's early life and the NSDAP's origins is generally well-done, the rest of the film is geared toward putting a positive spin on Hitler and a negative spin on the Allies, and making Nazi Germany look like an undeservedly hated victim of its opponents.
The film highlights war crimes committed by the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Soviet Union (where there's most to go on), while minimizing those of the Nazis. It also tries to make Hitler look like a reasonable leader who attempted many times to avoid a larger war while the Allies pushed ahead for it. The Allies are accused of "ethnic cleansing" of Germans. The film further minimizes the Holocaust, while bringing the genuine atrocities of Stalin's Soviet Union into focus to make the latter look like a whole different order of terrible, instead of the two being comparably horrible. (When it brings up Kristallnacht, you can guess what it's made out to amount to.) The film also has two segments on Waffen-SS officer Leon Degrelle and Otto Skorzeny, flattering them with nothing but praise.
As part of framing the surrounding historical developments favorably to Nazi Germany, the film claims to tell the "truth" behind World War I and the Treaty of Versailles – in part, this is all about saying that Germany was treated so badly that Hitler's response was reasonable. Relying more heavily on selective focus and biased reporting and retelling than on outright fabrication, the author managed to give this piece of historical revisionism a pretty well-rounded pro-Nazi spin.
===Motivation for making this film===

===Debunkings===
There have been a few people who have debunked this "documentary". One imgur user SirAaronRichards has written post called "Debunking Adolf Hitler: The Greatest Story Never Told" refuting each claim the movie made.https://imgur.com/gallery/nUtifYK Sergey Romanov from the Holocaust Controversies blog debunked the Holocaust-related part.http://holocaustcontroversies.blogspot.com/2018/04/debunking-youtube-denial.html#tgsnt Another example is the Reddit's Ask Historians page on the film by users DeSoullis and gingerkid1234https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/3c91i8/how_accurate_is_dennis_wises_documentary/ and ShitWehraboosSay user CommanderSection also took apart the film and debunked/put additional parts the film either claimed or left out in addition to the comment section of the film on YouTube.https://www.reddit.com/r/ShitWehraboosSay/comments/3kprm0/the_greatest_story_never_told_for_good_reason/

==Conspiracy theories==
Despite not claiming to be racist or anti-Semitic in "10 Questions Answered by Dennis Wise", on his YouTube channel he believes that communism is a "backdoor" for the New World Order and that Freemasonry funded the Russian Revolution and that World War II and everything from that point stems from "that Jewish Masonic victory" showing obvious anti-Semitism. He claims that the goal of all Freemasons is to unite the world under a "one world communist utopia" and all political policies are aimed at "breaking down the family, the basis of white culture". Another thing that Wise pushes is 9/11 trutherism as evidenced by the uploading of a 9/11 truther video. 
==Yet more "documentaries"==
In 2014, he made his second film, New World Order: Communism by the Backdoor, another butt-numbing experience (4 hours, 48 minutes; but another version with extra footage runs 5 hours, 25 minutes).https://communismbythebackdoor.tv/ In 2019, he released his third conspiracy mongering work, The Secret Masonic Victory of World War Two (5 hours, 29 minutes).https://thesecretmasonicvictoryofww2.tv/
