The Nazis
Introduction
The Nazis’ rise to power in Germany between 1929 and 1933 is one of the darkest and most seemingly inexplicable episodes in the whole of world history. How was it that a group of cold-blooded, xenaphobic fascists, under the leadership of an erratic outsider who has become synonymous with evil - Adolf Hitlerv - came to dominate Germany, lead it into one of the most twisted ideologies of all time, and start a war that changed the world? Where do the origins of Nazism lie - the First World War and the Second Reich? And what was it about Hitler’s life that fuelled him with the satanic power to become the fuhrer of his nation, lead it into the Second World War, and indoctrinate the German people with its poisonous creed of racism, patriotism and German exceptionalism that would see unthinkable cruelty committed on a mass scale?
In this curated playlist, you can travel through the birth, rise and dominion of Nazi Germany, step by unbelievable step. Tom and Dominic discuss, explain and reveal all, bringing this most horrific chapter of modern history to life. From the Beer Hall Putsch and the Night of the Long Knives, to the Nuremberg Rallies and Nazi ideology, the German annexation of Austria and their road towards the Second World War; and the beginning of the Nazis’ horrific persecution of the Jews.
