Anyone have an unbiased documentary about this stuff?

Really depends what you mean by unbiased. Almost all history is interpretive.

I guess something that doesn't feel like a political ad. I like raw footage.

While it doesn't deal with the tensions between the KPD and fascists, I would consider, "They Thought They Were Free" to be mandatory reading on the rise of fascism in Germany.

Even raw footage can be influential depending on how it's edited and selected of course
