Podcasts about Albert Speer

Himmler, Höß, Speer – tausende hochrangige Funktionäre des Nazi-Regimes flüchteten sich kurz vor Kriegsende vor 81 Jahren ins damals noch unbesetzte Flensburg. Viele tauchten mit Hilfe örtlicher Polizeikräfte unter oder setzten sich über die „Rattenlinie Nord“ ins Ausland ab. Acht von ihnen bildeten vom 2. bis zum 23. Mai '45 unter der Leitung von Großadmiral Karl Dönitz in der Marineschule Mürwik eine „geschäftsführende Reichsregierung“. Die in Flensburg geborene Politikwissenschaftlerin Svenja Falk hat die heute weitgehend unbeachteten drei Wochen von Flensburg minutiös recherchiert und ist dabei auf viele Bekannte gestoßen, die sich in jenen Tagen in Flensburg aufhielten: Siegfried Unseld (später Verleger), Beate Uhse (später Erotik-Unternehmerin), Ian Fleming (später Bond-Erfinder), Wolfgang Neuss (später Kabarettist) u.v.a. Was sie dort taten und was in den letzten drei NS-Wochen in Flensburg geschah, rekonstruiert Svenja Falk in ihrem Buch „Die letzten Tage der Diktatur“ – und im Gespräch mit Jürgen Deppe.

If Hitler had a podcast, it would be the talk of the town. He would be loved by many, hated by more, and ignored by none. Hitler would stand out because he's already been through all of this. He knows where it ends up. If Hitler had a podcast, he'd finally be cool. And Hitler was never cool. A mediocre artist with a thousand-yard stare, he was repellent to most people. But in 2026 America, where coolness is measured by offending the right people, Hitler would be hanging with the bros. He'd be on Joe Rogan laughing about Erika Kirk's eyes and claiming Kanye might have been onto something way back when he said the Jews were controlling everything. He'd be sitting across from Tim Dillon talking about genocide, and Israel and the Jews. He'd fly up to Maine, have dinner with Tucker, maybe sit in the sauna, and then have a lengthy interview about how much they love dogs, and then talk about how World War II was the fault of the Jews. He'd be at Theo Von's Easter party with his arm around Brett Cooper and Candace Owens, smiling and happy on such a beautiful day. To be hated is to be cool. They're all cool, you're not cool if you worry about Hitler having a podcast. You're only cool if you are okay with Hitler. If you laugh and giggle and say he really has a point, you know. The Left went so overboard with language policing and censorship that now, no one would know what to do if Hitler had a podcast.When Candace Owens spent weeks dragging Charlie Kirk's widow, Erika, through the mud on her podcast to millions of clicks and views, it did seem like we hit rock bottom as a society. How did she get away with it for so long? How is it she was never shamed into silence? Because the most prominent podcasters like Joe Rogan, Theo Von, Dave Smith, Megyn Kelly, and Tucker Carlson never said a word. They didn't want to be uncool. So she kept going. If Hitler had a podcast, he'd jump on the trend too because who would even stop him by now?He'd arrive just in time to present himself as a beacon of light to all of the lost men and boys whose lives had become meaningless. Women have overtaken society, the Left destroyed culture and over-policed thought and speech, and the only fun around here can be had with guys like Nick Fuentes.If Hitler had a podcast, it would be called “Work and Bread,” landing somewhere between the Hasan Piker Left and the Fuentes Right. The only requirement is that you hate Israel, and because of his loyalty to Israel, Donald Trump. They don't think of it as anti-semitism anymore because they think of it as anti-Zionism or anti-Israel. From Bridget Phetasy's Walk-ins Welcome with guest, Adam Louis-Klein.It's the policies! It's the genocide! Does it really matter? If Hitler had a podcast, he would tell them what they wanted and needed to hear. Said Hitler in 1922:And it was precisely the same in the economic sphere. The vast process of the industrialization of the peoples meant the confluence of great masses of workmen in the towns. Thus great hordes of people arose, and these, more's the pity, were not properly dealt with by those whose moral duty it was to concern themselves for their welfare. Parallel with this was a gradual ‘moneyfication' of the whole of the nation's labor-strength. ‘Share-capital' was in the ascendant, and thus bit by bit the Stock Exchange came to control the whole national economy.That's Ana Kasparian. That's Hasan Piker. And increasingly, that's Tucker Carlson. Hitler would fit right in. That could explain why Nick Fuentes is now calling for unity among the Left and the Right - to bring the Goyim together. If Hitler had a podcast, we'd have no words left to describe what he is because we've run out.Fascist? That's the guy sitting in the White House who won an election in America twice. It's the only way Gen-Z has ever heard the word used. Fascism is a white guy who doesn't do what we want him to do. What Hitler did in Germany, or Mussolini in Italy, is a foreign concept to people who can literally post images of Trump dead on the internet and not be thrown in jail or shot on the spot.But words don't mean words anymore. “Genocide” can mean anything now, as long as Israel is the aggressor. It doesn't count if Christians are being slaughtered in Africa, or nearly one million dead in the Ukraine war, or even the 40,000 dead protesters in Iran. No, genocide is now attached to one source, Israel. Nazi is thrown around so casually now that it almost sounds like a new type of drink at Starbucks. I'll have the half-caff Nazi with cold foam?In Hitler's day, there was no Israel. If Hitler had a podcast, he'd agree with Tucker Carlson and Megyn Kelly that it's the Jews who led us into the war in Iran and that Trump is either being bribed by them or enslaved by them. Why do you think World War I and World War II were fought? Hitler explained it all years ago:“A circle of Jews in America once drove this country into the war against all national interest, simply and solely because of Jewish-capitalist motives. And President Roosevelt, lacking capabilities of his own, has the support of said brain trust, whose leading men I need not mention by name: they are only Jews. Through them, as in the year 1917, the United States of America was driven step by step into a war without reason and sense, by a Jewish-infected president and his completely Jewish cohorts, against nations which have never harmed America, and against people from whom America can never profit.”If Hitler had a podcast, his war message would resonate with the same people now being told by Nick Fuentes that we must do something about the global problem of Jewry. Hitler blamed the Jews before it was cool, but of course, now, in America, the rage is bubbling over, and it's the perfect time for Hitler's return. Israelis are the Nazis now. Trump is Hitler on the Left but a slave to Israel on the Right. We haven't seen anything like this in over 80 years.And don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe!Radio DaysBy 1933, more than 4.5 million Germans had access to a radio, which became their primary means of news, entertainment, and best of all, Nazi propaganda. Hitler could triple those views now if he had a podcast.Goebbels was the main driver of propaganda. But in America in 2026, Goebbels could be anyone who works for Trump, and Mass Deportations are on par with the Nuremberg Laws that stripped Jews of their rights as German Citizens. With their hysteria cred maxxed out, our establishment government would not know how to even recognize, much less deal with, Hitler and his podcast. No one wants to be uncool and censor the hottest guy on the internet, so Hitler's message would flourish. How do you think Hasan Piker became such a force on the Left almost overnight?Ami Kozak on Jeremy Boering's show, along with Shabbos Kestenbaum and Billy Hallowell, on how to be a better consumer of podcasts.The Path to IslamOnly recently has the Right begun to lean in ever so slightly toward supporting Islam. Even those who were once stridently opposed have now begun to reconsider. Israel, after all, has manipulated them into seeing Islam as the enemy when the whole time it was worldwide Jewry seeking more power and control.But, as usual, Hitler was way ahead of the game. He might not have been all that much of a fan of the brown people over there. But even he recognized that a “religion of men” was to be respected. He had what might be called Muslim envy.From the WSJ:‘It's been our misfortune to have the wrong religion,” Hitler complained to his pet architect Albert Speer. “Why did it have to be Christianity, with its meekness and flabbiness?” Islam was a Männerreligion—a “religion of men”—and hygienic too. The “soldiers of Islam” received a warrior's heaven, “a real earthly paradise” with “houris” and “wine flowing.” This, Hitler argued, was much more suited to the “Germanic temperament” than the “Jewish filth and priestly twaddle” of Christianity.Hitler Youth If Hitler had a podcast, he would appeal to the young because they don't know any better today than they did then. Hitler knows that lost men need strong leaders. If those leaders have shrunk back into the darkness because things haven't worked out for them the way they wanted, they will be ripe for the picking. Young men, white men especially, have been raised by an establishment that wanted them to take a step backward and elevate the marginalized. In Weimar Germany, women were rising as a political force at a time of intense sexual liberation, experimentation, and gender fluidity, just like now. This led to a crisis of masculinity, much like the one we face today, which in turn caused a pendulum shift in the opposite direction. The moral decay and foundational rot at the heart of America's collapsing cultural empire were on full display at the Met Gala, seemingly punctuating America's decline, Weimar-style. Hitler reacted to that era with revulsion, presenting himself as a puritanical moralist who never sold the image of being a ladies' man or even having a wife. Nick Fuentes claims to be a virgin in a society ruled by intolerable women who won't give him the time of day. The Left is leaning into violence, assassinations, and targeted attacks on Jews, spiking in recent years. If Hitler had a podcast, he would adopt Hasan Piker's ideology that Hamas is the real hero in this story. There was a time when podcasts felt like freedom. Anyone could say anything they wanted, but by the time it got to accusing a widow of having a hand in murdering her husband, because Israel wanted to go to war with Iran, it seems they've jumped the shark. If Hitler had a podcast, he'd have to somehow top it. And that is how we got here, where all of them are competing for those eyeballs who have nothing better to do than to watch the world burn. Thankfully, on the right, there are leaders who offer an alternative vision for young Americans. Charlie Kirk was the most influential of them, guiding his young viewers toward faith, family, and purpose. Without him, so many seem to be adrift, following those who pander for their attention, rather than those who guide them.Here is another clip from the Jeremy Boering's show.Somehow, one of the brightest lights turns out to be Marco Rubio, selling hope and the American dream.There are no leaders on the Left who even want to try to unite this broken and chaotic country. We either accept their mass delusion that Trump is Hitler or forget it. At least if Hitler had a podcast, maybe they would finally be able to see that Trump never was.As we head into America's 250th birthday, we're holding on by a thread. Whether they like it or not, Trump changed things, and we're not changing back. It has to be up to the Right because if nothing else, they have the good sense to know Hitler when they see him. // This is a public episode.

At a quarter past four in the morning on the 13th of June 1944, the world's first cruise missile fell out of the sky onto a railway bridge in the East End of London. It killed six people. One of them was 19-year-old Ellen Woodcraft. Another was her eight-month-old son. Their husband and father was a soldier in Normandy. He would not learn of their deaths for days.In this episode, Mat McLachlan tells the story of Hitler's V-1 — the buzz bomb, the doodlebug, the first robot weapon ever used in war. From the secret laboratories at Peenemünde to the photo-interpretation tables at Medmenham, from the Guards Chapel disaster on Waterloo Sunday to the Tempest pilots tipping flying bombs out of the sky with their wingtips, this is the eighty-eight-day campaign that brought a new kind of terror to a city that thought the Blitz was over.Through authentic voices from the summer of 1944, we hear George Orwell guiltily hoping the next bomb falls on someone else, the diarist Vere Hodgson writing that the brain of man has gone so far beyond his morals that the only thing to do is scrap him and begin again, and Field Marshal Alan Brooke recording his disgust as the Home Secretary panics in front of the War Cabinet. We meet R.V. Jones, the 28-year-old scientist who'd been hunting the V-weapons since 1939, and the Double Cross Committee that fed Berlin a brilliant lie that saved central London — at the cost of the working-class boroughs to the south. We follow Wing Commander Roland Beamont and the Belgian ace Remy Van Lierde hunting buzz bombs over Romney Marsh, and the Australian pilot Ken Collier who accidentally invented the wingtip technique that would become the defining image of the doodlebug summer.Why did Hitler refuse to aim the V-1 at the Allied invasion ports, where it might have changed the war? Why did the British government deliberately steer bombs onto Croydon and Wandsworth instead of Westminster — and keep it secret for thirty years? How did a robot bomb costing five thousand Reichsmarks come closer to ending the war than any other weapon Germany ever built? Mat explores these questions through the words of those who were there — the scientists, the pilots, the cabinet ministers, and the Londoners who lived under the buzz.A clear-eyed look at one of the most futuristic weapons of the Second World War, and the man who threw it away. Hitler had the world's first cruise missile. He used it to kill people in their beds. And he lost the war anyway.“Hitler, and all of us, hoped this new weapon would sow horror, confusion and paralysis in the enemy camp. We far overestimated its effect.” — Albert Speer, Nazi Minister of ArmamentsEpisode Length: 40 minutesFeatures: First-hand accounts from George Orwell, Vere Hodgson, Field Marshal Alan Brooke and Hans Speidel; Wing Commander Roland Beamont's recollections of hunting the V-1; the testimony of fireman Harold Chisnell from the Imperial War Museum sound archive; Hitler's confrontation with Rommel and Rundstedt at Margival on the eve of the Normandy collapse; and the story of the Double Cross deception that saved central London.Presenter: Mat McLachlanProducer: Jess StebnickiSail through history with Mat McLachlan!

El nazismo no se sostuvo únicamente sobre la Gestapo y los campos de concentración. Lo hizo también sobre una formidable maquinaria de propaganda que convenció a millones de alemanes de que Hitler tenía razón en todo y el tercer Reich era el mejor de los mundos. Los cimientos de esta propaganda los encontramos ya en “Mein Kampf”, donde Hitler, obsesionado con la idea de que Alemania había perdido la Gran Guerra en la retaguardia y no en el frente, esboza un método tan simple como efectivo: dirigirse a las masas y no a las élites, apelar a la emoción y no a la razón, reducir el mundo a amigos y enemigos, y repetir el mensaje hasta la extenuación. Ese método lo pusieron en práctica nada más llegar al poder mediante el ministerio de Ilustración Popular y Propaganda, dirigido por Joseph Goebbels, un filólogo y novelista frustrado que se convirtió en el demiurgo del imaginario del Reich. Tres palabras resumían aquello: emoción, repetición y enemigo. El enemigo por antonomasia era el judío, al que se culpaba de todos los males del país: de la derrota en la guerra, de la inflación, del desempleo, del bolchevismo y del capitalismo financiero. Sobre eso se levantaron mitos como el de la sangre y el suelo, la superioridad aria y el Führerprinzip, que convertía a Hitler en un mesías secular rodeado de una liturgia pagana filmada magistralmente por Leni Riefenstahl en “El triunfo de la voluntad”. La prensa opositora fue absorbida o cerrada y los periodistas obligados a seguir las consignas diarias del ministerio. La radio se convirtió en el mejor arma para llegar a las masas gracias al Volksempfänger, un receptor asequible que sólo retransmitía las emisoras del régimen. Alemania se convirtió, de hecho, en el país del mundo con más receptores de radio por habitante. El cine combinaba entretenimiento de mera evasión con películas puramente ideológicas. La literatura fue purgada de autores y estilos incómodos, lo mismo sucedió con la música, la pintura, la escultura y la arquitectura. El arte era un brazo más del sistema goebbelsiano, uno de los más importantes, La educación fue depurada, se incluyó en el temario la biología racial y se encuadró a los niños y adolescentes en las Juventudes Hitlerianas y la Liga de las Muchachas alemanas. Allí los niños aprendían a marchar, obedecer y, en ocasiones, delatar a sus propios padres. Los grandes rituales colectivos tuvieron su cumbre en los congresos de Núremberg, cuya sede Albert Speer transformó en una catedral de luz de Speer. En 1936, sólo tres años después de la llegada al poder de los nazis y coincidiendo con los Juegos Olímpicos de Berlín, la máquina ya funcionaba a pleno rendimiento. Hacia el exterior también se proyectaba esa imagen dulcificada del régimen. Pero ahí no fue tan efectiva. Allá donde tenía que competir con la prensa libre se atascaba. Dentro de Alemania funcionaba a la perfección y lo siguió haciendo hasta el final de la guerra. Nos queda una lección incómoda. Los alemanes eran seguramente el pueblo más culto de Europa. La propaganda funcionó no porque fuese tosca, sino por todo lo contrario, era muy sofisticada, vestía el odio de deber patriótico y de sentimiento de pertenencia. Para hablar de este tema nos acompaña hoy Juanjo Ortiz, un divulgador histórico bien conocido entre los aficionados por su web, El cajón de Grisom, y autor de un magnífico libro sobre la propaganda nazi que publicó hace sólo unos meses.

Nous sommes le 30 janvier 1937, en Allemagne. L'architecte Albert Speer est nommé Inspecteur général pour la construction de la capitale du Troisième Reich et à ce titre chargé de la reconstruction de Berlin. Adolphe Hitler lui confie la mission de transformer la cité en « Germania ». Un projet monumental, lancé dès 1938, qui incarne une volonté de nouveauté radicale et de gigantisme. Cette ambition s'enracine dans une révolution urbaine entamée dès les années 1860. En deux générations, en effet, Berlin a connu un essor unique, devenant une métropole d'envergure mondiale. Un basculement qui a provoqué une crise d'adaptabilité pour la société allemande tout entière. Alors que les nazis n'ont cessé de clamer leur détestation de la grande ville, ils vont vouloir transformer Berlin en une mégalopole de 10 millions d'habitants. Pour ce faire, ils vont exploiter les tensions provoquées par l'hyper développement pour remplacer la liberté et l'anonymat, que permet le tissu urbain, par l'ordre et la ségrégation. Le chantier de Germania devient un instrument biopolitique au service de l'utopie raciale. Cette démesure matérielle va alimenter la radicalisation du système concentrationnaire : pour réaliser ces rêves de grandeur, Speer va planifier la démolition de centaines de milliers de logements et la spoliation des juifs servira de levier pour libérer les appartements nécessaires au projet. Mais le fantasme nazi va s'effondre sous les bombes alliées. Dans quelle mesure la mise en œuvre de ce projet mégalomaniaque, prévu pour l'éternité, a-t-il préfiguré la destruction totale de Berlin qui ne devint Germania ?

On this episode, we're joined by the author of our Fiction Book of the Month for April, Jean-Noël Orengo, whose novel, intriguingly titled You Are the Führer's Unrequited Love, is an imagined portrait of the life and lies of Albert Speer, Hitler's closest confidant and chosen architect for Nazi Germany. Speer, who was found guilty of war crimes and crimes against humanity at Nuremberg, successfully transformed his public image from that of a war criminal into that of the prototypical “Good Nazi,” becoming an international celebrity and one of the most prominent historical chroniclers of the Third Reich. Now, as we approach a time when almost no living witnesses remain, Orengo's novel asks vital questions about who gets to write history and whether it can be relied upon.Hosted by Ryan Edgington.

fWotD Episode 3252: 1937 tour of Germany by the Duke and Duchess of Windsor Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Tuesday, 31 March 2026, is 1937 tour of Germany by the Duke and Duchess of Windsor.Prince Edward, Duke of Windsor, and Wallis, Duchess of Windsor, visited Nazi Germany in October 1937. Edward had abdicated the British throne in December 1936, and his brother George VI had become king. Edward had been given the title Duke of Windsor on abdication, and he married Wallis Simpson in June 1937. He appeared to have been sympathetic to Germany in this period and, that September, announced his intention to travel privately to Germany to tour factories. His interests, officially researching the social and economic conditions of the working classes, were against the backdrop of looming war in Europe. The Duke's supporters saw him as a potential peacemaker between Britain and Germany, but the British government refused to sanction such a role, opposed the tour and suspected that the Nazis would use the Duke's presence for propaganda. Prince Edward was keen for his wife, who had been rejected by the British establishment, to experience a state visit as his consort. He promised the government to keep a low profile, and the tour went ahead between 12 and 23 October 1937.The Duke and the Duchess, who were officially invited to the country by the German Labour Front, were chaperoned for much of their visit by its leader, Robert Ley. The couple visited factories, many of which were producing materiel for the rearmament effort, and the Duke inspected German troops. The Windsors were greeted by the British national anthem and Nazi salutes. They dined with high-ranking Nazis such as Joseph Goebbels, Hermann Göring, Joachim von Ribbentrop, and Albert Speer, and had tea with Adolf Hitler in Berchtesgaden. The Duke had a long private conversation with Hitler, but it is uncertain what they discussed, as the minutes of their meeting were lost during the war. The Duchess took afternoon tea with Hitler's deputy, Rudolf Hess. Hitler was sympathetic to the Windsors and treated the Duchess like royalty.The British government was unable to affect the course of events and forbade its diplomatic staff in Germany from having any high-level interaction with the Windsors. British popular opinion of the tour was muted, and most people viewed it as in poor taste and disrupting the first year of George's reign. The tour of Germany was intended to have been followed by one of the United States, but Nazi repression of working-class activists in Germany led to a wave of disapproval for the Windsors in the American labour movement, which led to the U. S. visit being cancelled. Modern historians tend to consider the 1937 tour as a reflection of both the Duke's lack of judgement and his disregard for the advice that he received.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:14 UTC on Tuesday, 31 March 2026.For the full current version of the article, see 1937 tour of Germany by the Duke and Duchess of Windsor on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Joey.

Very sorry for the weeks off - personal family matters occurred and this had to take a backseat. At any rate, here we go.This week we conclude our foray into good ole' Al Speer, the Nazi who apologized(what a load of crap). We also discuss Polish vs. Irish parishes and more, I can't remember now - enjoy the mystery!

This week we begin a multi-part foray into Albert Speer, the Nazi Minister of Armaments and War Production during WW2. The other Steve chews way too loudly and promises not to do that again - try to enjoy our bs fest anyway?RIP Brad Arnold!

Find the similarities with today's politics at your own risk ... but this is as close we get to understanding the inner workings of the defendants in the Nuremberg trial - Hans Frank, Herman Göring, Albert Speer, Ernst Kaltenbrunner, Rudolf Hess, Julius Streicher, Alfred Rosenberg - what drove them, and did they still believe in the Nazi cause towards the end of the trial? Where we are going in and really digging deep into this is at a time when the trial has lasted for a long time, and the new psychiatrist Leon Goldensohn starts his work. A jew, he interviews the top Nazis and wins their trust, an almost forgotten story in the narrative of the Nuremberg trials as his notes first got published in 2004 and is a different psychiatrist than the one portrayed in the recent Russel Crowe movie. To him some confine, others are in denial, whereas some gradually start to open up to what they have been a part of before it is time for their sentencing. This is the very core of Nuremberg. This history podcast is made as I after retiring from journalism still miss creating content, so this is an outlet for that. Episodes are published unfrequently unfortunately, and as time allows. This is a  100% independent podcast without any marketing budgets or professional networks, so if you like the show please tell others about us and consider giving it a review of 5 stars wherever you listen, thanks - Francis.Website: gamechanginghistory.comBy and with Francis Lundh

Arkitekten Albert Speers skulle gøre alle Adolf Hitlers drømme og visioner til virkelighed og bygge betagende arkitektur op omkring det nazistiske budskab. Senere blev han rustningsminister, og det var særligt det ansvar, han fik svært at tale sig ud af i Nürnberg. Den sidste i Krimiland-rækken af anklagede topnazister er Speer, der slap med en fængselsstraf. For hvordan lykkedes det ham at bruge sin lynende begavelse og særlige snedighed og slippe for henrettelse?

20 listopada 1945 roku w Norymberdze rozpoczyna się jeden z najsłynniejszych procesów w historii. Przed międzynarodowym trybunałem złożonym z sędziów z Wielkiej Brytanii, Francji, Stanów Zjednoczonych i Związku Radzieckiego, stają byli nazistowscy dygnitarze. Na ławie oskarżonych zasiada 21 osób, w tym Hermann Göring, Albert Speer czy Joachim von Ribbentrop. Przez następne kilka miesięcy na sali rozpraw zostanie przesłuchanych wielu świadków a oskarżyciele zaprezentują dowody, ukazujące skalę zbrodni popełnionych przez nazistowskie Niemcy. Jak wyglądały przygotowania do procesu? Dlaczego zdecydowano, że odbędzie się on w Norymberdze? Jakie były kulisy politycznych sporów między aliantami? Odpowiedzi na te pytania poznacie w tym odcinku Misji specjalnej.

Father of Cold Spring resident sketched Nazis at Nuremberg Eighty years ago this week, on Nov. 20, 1945, trials began in Nuremberg, Germany, for nearly 200 Nazis charged with crimes against humanity, including the killing of an estimated six million Jewish, Roma, gay and disabled people during the Holocaust. The international military tribunal is the subject of a new film starring Russell Crowe, who portrays Hermann Göring, the second most powerful man in Germany during World War II, behind Adolf Hitler. For Cold Spring resident Cassandra Saulter, the courtroom drama that unfolded at the Nuremberg Palace of Justice is more personal. Her father was among the U.S. soldiers assigned to guard the 22 major defendants, and he got Göring. Howard Saulter grew up in Queens and joined the Army at age 19. A private first class, he fought in late 1944 in the Battle of the Bulge in Belgium's Ardennes Forest. Germany surrendered the following spring, and that fall, Saulter was assigned to guard the accused in court and its adjacent prison. The guards worked every other day on a rotation of two hours on duty followed by four hours off. Initially, each man monitored three prisoners. But after Robert Ley, a labor leader who once received a gift of a million Reichsmarks from Hitler, committed suicide on Oct. 25, each guard was assigned to one prisoner. The trials riveted people around the world, but for the guards, it was tedious. Saulter began drawing the defendants in their cells out of boredom. Interviewed in 1946 by The New York Times, he said: "I hated the job. I decided to sketch a few of the prisoners in their cells, and it helped a lot." "He thought he might sell the drawings to raise money to attend the Art Students League," said his daughter. Göring may have been one of the most infamous of the Nazis on trial, but Howard Saulter remembered him as a model prisoner. "Göring was the most pleasant on the whole, the best behaved and the best sense of humor," he told his daughter. "Every day, when he returned to his cell after exercise, he'd say to me, 'Well, here we are home again.'" But when Saulter asked the German for his fine leather boots, saying, "You're not going to need them where you're going," Göring was not amused. "He usually had a sense of humor - that was the only time Göring blew up," said Cassandra. "Usually, they had interesting conversations."

It was never clear how he got the poison, but Cassandra said her mother, Lillian, had a plausible hypothesis. "My father used to fall asleep, especially when bored - he had narcolepsy," Cassandra said. Her mother wondered if Göring's lawyer waited until Howard nodded off, then passed the pill to his client, possibly inside a pencil, and Göring hid it in the toilet. Saulter never sketched Göring, to his regret, but he did draw Baldur von Schirach (the former leader of the Hitler Youth and commandant in Vienna who was sentenced to 20 years), Franz von Papen (a former vice chancellor and ambassador who was acquitted but sentenced by a civilian court to eight years), Wilhelm Frick (the interior minister, who was hanged) and Arthur Seyss-Inquart (the commander of the occupied Netherlands, also hanged). Only von Papen realized he was being sketched. All four autographed their drawings. Saulter also sketched Albert Speer (the minister of armaments and war production, who w...

Il y a 80 ans, le 20 novembre 1945, s'ouvrait à Nuremberg, en Allemagne, un procès historique contre des responsables du IIIe Reich nazi qui a capitulé en mai de la même année. Les quatre alliés vainqueurs de la Seconde Guerre mondiale n'ont pas opté pour une justice expéditive, mais ont créé un tribunal militaire international chargé de juger les criminels nazis dans le respect de l'État de droit. Des concepts inédits, comme les crimes contre l'humanité, sont posés. Ils fondent les bases du droit pénal international contemporain. Ils sont 21 haut dignitaires du régime nazi sur le banc des accusés dans la salle 600 du tribunal de Nuremberg, ce 20 novembre 1945 : Hermann Göring, le numéro deux de Hitler, Rudolf Hess, la main droite du Führer, Rosenberg, l'idéologue du régime ou encore l'architecte de Hitler, Albert Speer.   Les accusés plaident tous non coupables, se retranchent derrière des ordres reçus et des situations particulières et affirment ne pas avoir connu les horreurs commises par le régime nazi. Leurs avocats savent que la culpabilité de leurs clients ne fait pas de doute en raison des preuves irréfutables. Un film sur l'horreur des camps d'extermination, des images encore peu connues à l'époque, marquent le procès.  Si les accusés ont dénoncé la justice des vainqueurs, trois d'entre eux sont acquittés lorsque les verdicts sont prononcés le 1er octobre 1946. Douze sont condamnés à mort et exécutés par pendaison deux semaines plus tard. Les autres purgent des peines de prison.  À lire aussiNuremberg, 20 novembre 1945: procès de 24 dignitaires et de 7 institutions nazis Douze autres procès auront lieu dans les années suivantes dans cette même salle.

Im Frühjahr 1946 hat im Prozess von Nürnberg die Verteidigung das Wort. Wie rechtfertigen die Angeklagten ihr Handeln im NS-Staat? Männer wie Albert Speer, Hitlers Architekt und späterer Rüstungsminister - er zeigt sich kooperativ und räumt in Teilen sogar seine Mitverantwortung ein. Aber meint er es ernst? Alfred Rosenberg, der Chefideologe der Nazis, ist dagegen auch vor Gericht ein unbelehrbarer Antisemit und Rassentheoretiker. Am Ende dieses beispiellosen Tribunals heißt es: Freispruch, Gefängnis oder Galgen? Von Michael Zametzer (BR 2025)

Het Witte Huis is geen ambtswoning, maar het nationale symbool van de Verenigde Staten. Een politiek heiligdom. Élysée en Torentje tegelijk. Niettemin was het in 250 jaar Verenigde Staten al van alles, van woonhuis tot kinderspeelplaats, crisiscentrum, perskamer, feestzaal, rouwkapel en seksplek. Een deel ervan is nu gesloopt voor een balzaal voor 1000 gasten. En dat is nog maar het begin. Trumps bouwproject is een en al symboliek. Wat begon met ordinaire opsmuk in het oval office en een pantry vol MAGA-prullaria - 'Do not forget to visit the Gift Shop!' - ontaardt in een Versailles-achtige aanbouw bij een Romeins-republikeins stadspaleisje. Daar komt de destructie van historische plaatsen bij en een plan om heel het hart van Washington visueel te ruïneren. *** Deze aflevering is mede mogelijk gemaakt met donaties van luisteraars die we hiervoor hartelijk danken.

Zend ons een mailtje en wij zoeken contact. *** Is dit megalomanie, vragen Jaap Jansen en PG Kroeger zich af. Welnee! In het milieu van Las Vegas en vastgoedmagnaten waar Donald Trump zich thuis voelt is zoiets de norm. Anne Applebaum analyseert het als een bewuste privatisering van de nationale symboliek en haar historische waarde. Zoals Trump ook '250 jaar Verenigde Staten' privatiseert, zodat de historie alleen door hem en in hem betekenis krijgt en verleent. Het is de geesteshouding van een autocraat. En in geestverwanten in zulke regimes door de eeuwen heen vindt Trump zijn rolmodel. Keizer Nero bouwde een kolossaal standbeeld van zichzelf met een stadion ernaast, het Colosseum. Benito Mussolini schonk Rome een complex voor een wereldtentoonstelling en Olympiade. De Kims bouwen nog steeds aan Pyongyang als een hoofdstad van lege façade-architectuur. Hun bewonderaar Nicolae Ceaușescu dreigde Boekarest met net zulke monsterlijke bouwwerken te ruïneren. De Muur viel net op tijd. Jozef Stalin had waanzinnige bouwplannen en realiseerde ze. Al ging een 424 meter hoge toren pal naast het Kremlin met daarop een 80 meter hoog beeld van Lenin niet door. Adolf Hitler liet Albert Speer het Justitiepaleis van Brussel en de Arc de Triomphe in Parijs natekenen als voorontwerp voor zijn wereldhoofdstad Germania met haar Volkshalle. Alleen tunneldelen onder Berlijn en draagzuilen van zijn boog bleven over. Maar ambitieuze democratische heersers kunnen er ook wat van. François Mitterrand liet Parijs verfraaien met zijn Grand Louvre en Piramide, Musée d'Orsay, La Vilette, Institut Monde Arabe, Grande Arche de la Défense, Bibliotèque Nationale François Mitterrand en natuurlijk de Opéra Bastille. Die werd geopend in 1989 met een gala voor de Revolutie van 14 juli 1789. Alle groten der klassieke zang traden op. 'Le Jour de Gloire est Arrivé!' De natte droom van Donald Trump. *** Verder kijken Trump’s new White House ballroom: modern luxury or historic risk?

La figura de Albert Speer es fundamental para la expansion del nazismo. Fue arquitecto de carrera y tambien responsable de gran parte de la ideologia de Hitler. Se encargo de generar parte de su puesta en escena. Ademas, fue Ministro de Armamento. Y lo mas llamativo: Hitler sintio por el algo parecido a una fascinacion homoerotica.

Rudolf Hess fue el colaborador más leal de Hitler, obsesionado con la fidelidad, el poder e impulsor de un misterioso plan que, según él, podía cambiarlo todo. Albert Speer se presentaba como un arquitecto con estilo y decencia, pero su carrera lo condujo al corazón mismo de un régimen asesino.

Berlin, 28 kwietnia 1945 roku. Podczas przerwy w ostrzale miasta, z bunkra pod Kancelarią Rzeszy wychodzi grupa SS-manów. Prowadzą mężczyznę w mundurze z zerwanymi dystynkcjami. Tym człowiekiem jest Hermann Fegelein, oficer łącznikowy Himmlera i szwagier Ewy Braun. Został aresztowany dzień wcześniej, po tym jak niespodziewanie opuścił kwaterę Führera. Kim był człowiek, którego Albert Speer określił mianem najbardziej odrażającej osoby w otoczeniu Hitlera? Dlaczego Fegelein zdecydował się opuścić bunkier? Czy tajemnicza kobieta, w której towarzystwie przebywał, gdy został schwytany, była brytyjską agentką? W najnowszym odcinku Misji specjalnej odkrywamy tajemnicę śmierci Hermanna Fegeleina.

Nous sommes le 26 mars 1923, à Milan. Dans un discours prononcé à l'occasion de l'inauguration d'une exposition de la galerie « Pesaro », qui présente des œuvres produites par le groupe du « Novecento », un mouvement qui prône le retour aux valeurs traditionnelles de l'esprit latin, Benito Mussolini exprime sa volonté de poursuivre son projet politique avec la contribution de l'art et des artistes. Il dit : « On ne peut gouverner en ignorant l'art et les artistes. L'art est une manifestation essentielle de l'esprit humain ; il est né en même temps que l'humanité et l'a accompagné jusqu'à aujourd'hui. Et dans un pays comme l'Italie, un gouvernement qui se désintéresserait de l'art et des artistes serait un gouvernement stupide. Je déclare que l'idée qui consisterait à encourager quelque chose qui pourrait ressembler à de l'art d'État m'est étrangère. L'art appartient au domaine de l'individu ». Ainsi, le leader fasciste distingue l'Italie des autres régimes totalitaires que seront l'Allemagne nazie, l'URSS ou la République populaire de Chine qui ont soumis l'art et les artistes à leur idéologie. Il n'en demeure pas moins qu'à Rome, Berlin, Moscou et Pékin, l'art est un témoin important, sinon essentiel, du système. Alors de Marinetti, fondateur du « Futurismo », à Albert Speer, l'architecte d'Hitler, en passant par le « réalisme socialiste », penchons-nous sur les rapports dangereux entre Art et régimes totalitaires.

En un rincón casi olvidado de Madrid, se erige el Teatro Clara Eugenia. Se trata del edificio más cercano al ideal estético del Tercer Reich en España. Construido en 1943 por el Auxilio Social franquista, su diseño recuerda a los monumentales de Albert Speer, el arquitecto de Hitler. Columnas dóricas, estucos polícromos y un imponente uso del hormigón le convierten en un eco inquietante de la Alemania nazi. Hoy, ese teatro acoge a la Orquesta y Coro de la Comunidad de Madrid.

Tredje rikets sista dagar präglades av kaos, förstörelse och död. I sitt politiska testamente utsåg Adolf Hitler storamiralen Karl Dönitz till Tysklands nye statschef. Dönitz var ingen ideolog eller sadist som Himmler eller Goebbels, men en lojal och effektiv tjänsteman i ett system byggt på förtryck och massmord. Regeringen han ledde – den så kallade Flensburgregeringen – existerade i drygt tre veckor med huvudsakligt syfte att organisera kapitulationen och möjliggöra för civila och soldater att fly till väst.I praktiken saknade Dönitzregeringen verkligt inflytande. Tysklands militära kapacitet var krossad, infrastrukturen låg i ruiner och de allierade kontrollerade redan stora delar av landet. Ändå spelade regeringen en viss roll i samordningen av partiella kapitulationer, bland annat i Danmark, Norge och norra Tyskland.Detta är det sista avsnittet i en serie av sju om andra världskriget från podden Historia Nu. Programledaren Urban Lindstedt samtalar med militärhistorikern Lars Ericson Wolke, aktuell med boken Tredje rikets sista dagar.Den 7–8 maj 1945 undertecknades Tysklands villkorslösa kapitulation, vilket formellt avslutade kriget i Europa. Trots detta dröjde det till den 23 maj innan Dönitzregeringen arresterades av brittiska trupper och upplöstes. Under mellantiden rådde fullständigt kaos: miljoner människor var på flykt, städer låg i ruiner och tusentals dog i svält, sjukdomar och våld. Tyskland delades upp i fyra ockupationszoner, och i Nürnberg inleddes rättegångarna mot ansvariga för nazismens brott.Karl Dönitz dömdes till tio års fängelse för krigsförbrytelser. I sina memoarer, liksom Albert Speer, försökte han tona ned sin roll och lägga skulden på Hitler. Först långt senare framträdde en tydligare bild av Wehrmachts och SS:s aktiva deltagande i folkmordet.Dönitz var en teknokratisk lojalist. Född 1891, utbildad inom den kejserliga marinen, gjorde han karriär som ubåtsofficer under första världskriget. Under andra världskriget ledde han ubåtskriget mot de allierade med hänsynslös effektivitet och lät använda koncentrationslägerfångar i rustningsindustrin. Han blev partimedlem först 1944, men var länge en trogen anhängare av Hitler.Striderna om Hitlers efterträdarskap hade pågått länge. Hess diskvalificerades efter sin flygning till Storbritannien 1941, Göring föll i onåd, och Himmler förrådde Hitler genom att försöka förhandla med väst. Valet föll slutligen på Dönitz, vars lojalitet aldrig ifrågasatts.Hans regering – baserad i Flensburg vid danska gränsen – försökte fördröja kapitulationen inför Röda armén, och istället prioritera reträtt och överlämnande till västmakterna. Detta ledde till partiella kapitulationer i bland annat Danmark (5 maj), Nordvästtyskland och Nederländerna, samt förhandlingar i Norge. Det var ett försök att mildra konsekvenserna av det oundvikliga nederlaget.Bild: Gripandet av tre medlemmar ur Flensburgregeringen: Alfred Jodl, Albert Speer och presidenten Karl Dönitz.

At the height of the Third Reich's war production there were nearly five million additional German and foreign workers in the war economy. Despite the efforts made by Albert Speer to rationalise the war economy and make it more efficient, there was still too few workers to compete with the combined military production of the allied powers. Workers from Germany, from occupied western countries and from allied countries like Italy and Hungary were recruited though non German workers were paid less and treated badly. The poverty and ill health of Polish workers and Russian POWs meant that heavy labour tasks were impossible, only 5% of the Russian POWs were fit for any kind of work at all. *****STOP PRESS*****I only ever talk about history on this podcast but I also have another life, yes, that of aspirant fantasy author and if that's your thing you can get a copy of my debut novel The Blood of Tharta, right here:Help the podcast to continue bringing you history each weekIf you enjoy the Explaining History podcast and its many years of content and would like to help the show continue, please consider supporting it in the following ways:If you want to go ad-free, you can take out a membership hereOrYou can support the podcast via Patreon hereOr you can just say some nice things about it here Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/explaininghistory.

1995-1997: The Freedom Fight (https://thankskenpenders.tumblr.com/readingorder)Albert Speer was a German architect who served as Minister of Armaments and War Production in Nazi Germany during most of World War II. After the war, Speer was among the 24 "major war criminals" charged by the International Military Tribunal for Nazi atrocities. Speer had carefully constructed an image of himself as an apolitical technocrat who deeply regretted having failed to discover the monstrous crimes of the Third Reich. He was found guilty of war crimes and crimes against humanity, principally for the use of slave labor, narrowly avoiding a death sentence. Having served his full term, Speer was released in 1966.Archie Comics Sonic The Hedgehog #3000:00 Intro04:56 The Return of Uncle Chuck Part I21:15 The Return of Uncle Chuck Part II37:56 The Return of Uncle Chuck Part III57:07 Who Keeps Stealing My Chaos Emeralds ?!01:05:04 Outro-----Gotta Talk Fast is an oral review of Archie Comics' Sonic the Hedgehog.

Architecte favori et ministre de l'Armement d'Hitler, Albert Speer publie ses Mémoires. Revisitant son passé, de ses mises en scène des congrès nazis à la chute du Reich, il parachève l'ultime métamorphose qui a sauvé sa tête au procès de Nuremberg et va faire de lui la star de la culpabilité allemande. Affirmant n'avoir rien su de la Solution Finale, il se déclare "responsable, mais pas coupable." Les historiens auront beau démontrer qu'il a menti, sa version de lui-même s'imposera toujours. Comment écrire sur un homme qui a rendu la fiction plus séduisante que la vérité ?

La capital de Alemania, Berlí­n, fue el campo de batalla del siglo XX e incluso hoy en dí­a, se encuentran los vestigios de su oscuro pasado ocultos y olvidados bajo sus calles. Tras la llegada de Adolf Hitler al poder en 1933, se planeó y edificó la nueva Cancillerí­a que habí­a sido diseñada por el arquitecto Albert Speer y se aprovecharon las obras para construir dos nuevos refugios que comenzaron en 1943. El nuevo refugio del dictador fue el más profundo, a 15 metros de suelo e inter conexionado mediante escaleras El búnker fue utilizado durante los últimos momentos de la guerra por Hitler, que se trasladó allí­ el 16 de enero de 1945, después de comprobar que los continuos ataques aéreos habí­an convertido la estancia dentro de la Cancillerí­a peligrosa. Hoy dí­a, bajo diferentes calles de la ciudad se puede encontrar muchos de los casi 1.000 búnkeres nazis que fueron construidos en el arenoso suelo de Berlí­n y que constituyen los restos perdidos de la Alemania de Hitler. Eric Geller realizará un recorrido por los oscuros, húmedos y más recónditos lugares secretos que se encuentran bajo el suelo de Berlí­n y descubrirá asimismo cómo era la forma de vida de sus habitantes hace siglos

By early 1942 Nazi Germany was facing a moment of crisis when it came to the production of munitions and other equipment. The inherent chaos of the regime, Hitler's selection of favourites who knew how to tell him only what he wanted to hear, along with the soaring war production of the USA, UK and USSR led to the appointment of Albert Speer as Minister for Armaments.Help the podcast to continue bringing you history each weekIf you enjoy the Explaining History podcast and its many years of content and would like to help the show continue, please consider supporting it in the following ways:If you want to go ad-free, you can take out a membership hereOrYou can support the podcast via Patreon hereOr you can just say some nice things about it here Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/explaininghistory.

durée : 00:58:14 - Le Cours de l'histoire - par : Xavier Mauduit, Maïwenn Guiziou - Architecte puis ministre de l'Armement du régime nazi, Albert Speer était également l'ami d'Adolf Hitler. Le seul peut-être. L'écrivain Jean-Noël Orengo raconte ce tandem formé par l'artiste et l'homme de pouvoir dans son roman "Vous êtes l'amour malheureux du Führer". - réalisation : Thomas Beau, Laurence Millet - invités : Jean-Noël Orengo Écrivain

A las afueras de Berlí­n hay restos de una superciudad que planeó Adolf Hitler, con los edificios más grandes que cualquiera que los que hayan existido antes: una sala abovedada tan grande que la Torre Eiffel habrí­a cabido dentro, un estadio para 400.000 personas… Mediante el uso de tecnologías infográficas, este documental nos muestra la ciudad que Hitler soñó para su pueblo. Como todo megalomaní­aco, Hitler tení­a debilidad por el neoclásico. El dictador quiso convertir Berlí­n en una nueva capital mundial, una Roma del siglo XX, con proyectos como el llamado Gran Pabellón, con una altura de 290 metros de alto, diez veces más que la Puerta de Brandeburgo. Berlí­n transformada en ciudad faraónica. Una cúpula de 300 metros de altura y avenidas kilométricas: Germania, la capital que Hitler querí­a para su imperio y el eje sobre el que debí­a gravitar el universo nazi. Albert Speer, el arquitecto del III Reich, la perfilo y proyectó durante los años 30. Hitler planeó un Arco del Triunfo colosal, casi 50 veces mayor que el de Parí­s. Destinado a reinterpretar la derrota alemana en la Primera Guerra Mundial como la antesala de la gran victoria -que no llegó a ser tal- de la Segunda Guerra Mundial.

Ardenneroffensiven inleddes av tyskarna den 16 december 1944. Motoffensiven gick västerut genom Ardennerna med målet att ta Antwerpen, splittra de allierade styrkorna, slå av deras underhållslinjer och återta avfyrningsplatserna för V2-raketerna. Men det var de sista resurserna som sattes in.Två anfallskolonner med reorganiserade pansardivisioner körde de första dygnen bokstavligen över de oerfarna och hårt slitna amerikanska divisioner som stod i deras väg. Det dåliga vädret spelade tyskarna i händerna. Det var i princip endast vid staden Bastogne som blixtinkallade förstärkningar av 101:a luftlandssättningsdivisionen kunde hålla emot.I detta avsnitt av Militärhistoriepodden skildrar och diskuterar Martin Hårdstedt och Peter Bennesved de dramatiska veckorna kring jul 1944 då Tysklands sista motoffensiv skakade de allierade.Tysklands rustningsindustri hade under ledning av Albert Speer lyckats få fram ny materiel – inte minst stridsvagnar och flygplan. Förbanden hade dessutom fyllts på och en del av förlusterna sedan landstigningen i Normandie och den sovjetiska offensiven hade ersatts. Men det var de sista resurserna som sattes in.Alla förband var heller inte av en kvalitet som i krigets inledning. De pansardivisioner under Sep Dietrich och Hasso von Manteuffel som skar genom de allierades linjer var av högst kvalitet, men de Volksgrenadier-divisioner som följde upp bakom var svaga.Till en början insåg inte de allierade fullt ut vidden av den tyska offensiven, men Eisenhower fattade mycket snart beslutet att flytta fram mekaniserade divisioner norr och söder om den inbuktning som den tyska offensiven hade skapat i den allierade frontlinjen. Dessa förstärkningar kunde när den tyska offensiven kommit till ett stopp på grund av hårdnackat motstånd, drivmedelsbrist och det faktum att det allierade flyget åter kunde sättas in när vädret blev bättre.Striderna genomfördes med stor brutalitet. I den lilla franska byn Malmedy begick tyska SS-förband den 17 december en massaker på amerikanska soldater. Amerikanarna hämnades vid Chenogne på nyårsdagen. ”The Battle of the Bulge” som kampen för att stoppa och slå tillbaka den tyska Adenneroffensiven kallades kom att bli det blodigaste slag som den amerikanska armén utkämpade under andra världskriget. Förlusterna uppgick till mer än 50 000 man stupade och sårade. På den tyska sidan var förlusterna ännu större och inte minste blev antal förstörda stridsfordon på sikt kännbara. Efter Ardenneroffensiven återstod för tyskarna att försöka försvara sig och hålla Rhen. Tre månader efter att striderna hade ebbat ut i slutet av januari kapitulerade Tyskland.Bild: Tyskt militärfoto som beslagtagits av amerikansk militär Originalbeskrivning: "En tysk soldat, tungt beväpnad, bär ammunitionslådor fram med följeslagare i territorium som tagits under deras motoffensiv.

Albert Speer to jedna z najważniejszych postaci III Rzeszy. Projektował dla Hitlera monumentalne budowle, które miały stać się symbolem Tysiącletniej Rzeszy. W 1943 roku został ministrem uzbrojenia i amunicji. Pomimo tego Speer powszechnie bywa uważany za tego "dobrego nazistę". Dlaczego powstał ten mit? Czy faktycznie Speer mógł planować zamach na Führera? Czy wiedział o masowej zagładzie Żydów? W Misji specjalnej przybliżamy sylwetkę "architekta Hitlera".

OFFERTA ESCLUSIVA NORDVPN Non perderla: https://nordvpn.com/dentrolastoriaArchitetto geniale, allievo di grandi designer, inizialmente apolitico, Albert Speer divenne negli anni '30 un membro della cerchia ristretta di Hitler. Inizialmente come realizzatore delle scenografie per le parate oceaniche, poi come ristrutturatore di grandi edifici pubblici, a Speer venne demandato il ruolo di ricostruire e rimodellare Berlino quale futura capitale mondiale del nazismo e poi di guidare la macchina produttiva industriale tedesca. Dietro di sé ha lasciato la memoria dei suoi bozzetti e dei suoi plastici, le dichiarazioni discordanti a Norimberga, dei libri di memoria ma anche una figlia che, con i fatti e non con le parole, ha dimostrato che il modo migliore per chiudere i conti col passato è voltare pagina.Il nostro canale Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1vziHBEp0gc9gAhR740fCwSostieni DENTRO LA STORIA su Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/dentrolastoriaAbbonati al canale: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1vziHBEp0gc9gAhR740fCw/joinSostienici su PayPal: https://paypal.me/infinitybeatDentro La Storia lo trovi anche qui: https://linktr.ee/dentrolastoriaDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/racconti-di-storia-podcast--5561307/support.

In her new book Hitler's Northern Utopia: Building the New Order in Occupied Norway (Princeton University Press, 2020), Despina Stratigakos investigates the Nazi occupation of Norway. Between 1940 and 1945, German occupiers transformed Norway into a vast construction zone. This remarkable building campaign, largely unknown today, was designed to extend the Greater German Reich beyond the Arctic Circle and turn the Scandinavian country into a racial utopia. From ideal new cities to a scenic superhighway stretching from Berlin to northern Norway, plans to remake the country into a model “Aryan” society fired the imaginations of Hitler, his architect Albert Speer, and other Nazi leaders. In Hitler's Northern Utopia, Despina Stratigakos provides the first major history of Nazi efforts to build a Nordic empire—one that they believed would improve their genetic stock and confirm their destiny as a new order of Vikings. Drawing on extraordinary unpublished diaries, photographs, and maps, as well as newspapers from the period, Hitler's Northern Utopia tells the story of a broad range of completed and unrealized architectural and infrastructure projects far beyond the well-known German military defenses built on Norway's Atlantic coast. These ventures included maternity centers, cultural and recreational facilities for German soldiers, and a plan to create quintessential National Socialist communities out of twenty-three towns damaged in the German invasion, an overhaul Norwegian architects were expected to lead. The most ambitious scheme—a German cultural capital and naval base—remained a closely guarded secret for fear of provoking Norwegian resistance. A gripping account of the rise of a Nazi landscape in occupied Norway, Hitler's Northern Utopia reveals a haunting vision of what might have been—a world colonized under the swastika. Despina Stratigakos is vice provost and professor of architecture at the University at Buffalo, State University of New York. Craig Sorvillo is a PhD candidate in modern European history at the University of Florida. He specializes in Nazi Germany, and the Holocaust.

El testimonio de un juicio inédito destapa nuevos detalles sobre la Segunda Guerra Mundial y el funcionamiento interno de la máquina de guerra Nazi. Escucha las verdaderas voces de los criminales que apoyaron a Hitler, como Hermann Goering, Wilhelm Keitel, Albert Speer y Rudolf Hess, así como a las víctimas y a los testigos que valientemente testificaron en su contra.

Bei ihrer Einweihung 1873 sollte sie die Überlegenheit des Deutschen Kaiserreichs verkörpern. Inzwischen hat die Siegessäule in Berlin eine bewegte Geschichte hinter sich – sie diente sogar schon als Techno-Symbol.

Long before Harry and Meghan, a much more serious crisis and scandal enveloped the British monarchy and the House of Windsor, the abdication of Edward VIII King George V and his family, The Prince of Wales, far left The future Edward VIII, known within his immediate family by the nickname of David, was born on June 23, 1894.  His father, George V, did not become the king until 1910, then anointing David, his eldest son, with the title of Prince of Wales, next in the line of royal succession. David was educated as a cadet at the Royal Naval College, went on to Oxford and also joined the Royal Navy.  When war broke out in 1914 he was assigned to a safe but extremely tedious post at Allied headquarters in France.  Although on paper Great Britain emerged victorious from the Great War, the cost in both casualties and expense was enormous. Across Europe, many royal dynasties were either rendered obsolete or even completely destroyed including the ruling houses of Germany, Austria-Hungary and Imperial Russia, the latter most disturbing as the Romanovs were literally exterminated by the Bolsheviks.  Wallis, aged 10 Actually born Bessie Wallis Warfield, on June 19, 1896, Wallis' parents came from prominent Maryland families.  Unfortunately, Wallis' father died of tuberculosis only months after her birth and her mother Alice's family had disowned her as a result of the marriage, probably because her daughter was conceived out of wedlock.  The infant and her mother then were supported by her deceased husband's wealthy brother and her mother's sister Bessie, until 1908 when Wallis' mother remarried.  Her uncle paid for a prep school education and Wallis was socially prominent and attractive enough to be designated as a Baltimore debutante, although the outbreak of World War I suspended such frivolity.  Not wild about some of the suitors hanging around Wallis in Maryland, her mother decided it might be a good idea to send her to Pensacola, Florida, where her cousin, Corinne was married to an officer who was the commander of the Naval Air Station in Pensacola.  Also feeling that Wallis was competitively trying to get married, her mother also figured that dropping her daughter into a brand new environment might slow Wallis down. The Prince of Wales, 1919 As early as the age of sixteen, discussion concerning an appropriate mate for the Prince of Wales began.  An obvious candidate, the daughter of Kaiser Wilhelm, eighteen year old Viktoria Luise, rejected him as too young.  He received some additional leeway when George V issued a 1917 proclamation allowing royalty to marry a non-royal subject, the first time even the potential for a commoner to achieve such status became possible.  This edict, at the height of World War I, also originated the term , “the House of Windsor,” changing the dynasty name from Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, an attempt to obfuscate the British monarchy's German connection and to encourage future relationships outside of the German nobility.   Edward VIII's last public appearance as King, with his mother Queen Mary Things came to a head in mid-November when Baldwin also informed Edward that if he insisted on the marriage, the government would resign.  Edward responded by threatening to abdicate if he was not allowed to marry Wallis Simpson.  On November 16, at a private dinner he informed his mother Queen Mary of his intention, a revelation that shocked her, no one in the Windsor family really believing that Edward would seriously consider such a drastic course of action, over a common, American divorcee.  Wallis Warfield Simpson, Herman Rogers chateau, days before the abdicationEdward, with Churchill Only a few miles out of Fort Belvedere, Brownlow attempted to persuade Wallis to head for his manor house in Lincolnshire, explaining that she might better influence the king if she could maintain some reasonable proximity.  In actuality, this was a desperate attempt to keep Wallis Simpson involved, officials like Churchill understanding how persuasive she could be.   The Duke and Duchess with Hitler at the Berghof, 1936 The Duke and Duchess were greeted on October 11 in Berlin and escorted by ministers like Robert Ley and Joachim Von Ribbentrop.  That evening they dined with both Albert Speer and Joseph Goebbels.  Everywhere, the couple went they were treated with extreme deference, including Wallis Simpson who was continually addressed as your Royal Highness, a title she did not officially deserve as well as the subsequent curtsies.  Other meetings followed with Herman Goering and even Hitler himself, photos from this historic event splashed on front pages all over the world.  Several times the couple engaged in the Nazi salute, behavior they would come to regret.  To any members still part of her inner circle Wallis maintained that they were merely tourists and the Duke insisted that the visit was not official.  Throughout the visit, British consular officials were instructed that they were not to meet or assist the couple in any official capacity.

Ben Luke talks to Jeremy Deller about his influences—from writers to film-makers, musicians and, of course, other artists—and the cultural experiences that have shaped his life and work. Deller, born in London in 1966, has created some of the most extraordinary works of recent decades, acting as a catalyst for exhibitions, films, events and happenings that often involve numerous collaborators. His works reflect on social movements, communities and countercultures, the history of art and design, pop-cultural forms and celebrated public figures. He discusses the early influence of Francis Bacon, how Mike Kelley was an important figure in defining the possibilities of art's relationship with popular culture, the power of Gitta Sereny's pivotal biography of Albert Speer, his ongoing engagement with music in various forms, and much more. Plus, he gives insight into his studio life and answers our usual questions—including the ultimate: “What is art for?”Jeremy Deller, Art is Magic (book), Cheerio, £30/$60; Art is Magic (exhibition), Frac Bretagne, La Criée contemporary art centre and Musée des beaux-arts, Rennes, until 17 September; Jeremy Deller: Welcome to the Shitshow!, Kunsthalle Charlottenberg, Copenhagen, until 6 August.

Tony Speaks with Dr. Stephen Flowers as they explore the occult influences on various Nazi figures, including Adolf Hitler, Albert Speer, Rudolf Hess, Alfred Rosenberg, and Heinrich Himmler from 1929 throughout World War II

For the 13th TMR Movie Roundtable we welcome back our good friends Frank Johnson, Antony Rotunno and Mark Campbell for a discussion on the superb 2004 German-language war drama, Downfall ("Der Untergang") starring Bruno Ganz and directed by Oliver Hirschbiegel. Based in part upon the memoirs of Hitler's last personal secretary, Gertraud "Traudl" Junge (Alexandra Maria Lara), Downfall tells the story of the final ten days of Adolf Hitler and his Nazi regime. As the Red Army closes in on Berlin in late April 1945, Hitler (Bruno Ganz) and those closest to him retreat to the Führerbunker, an elaborate air raid shelter next to the Reich Chancellery. Sitting in his Map Room, Hitler fantasises about a Third Reich victory and continues to make futile plans for his depleted forces. He berates his generals for cowardice and betrayal and ignores all advice that he should leave Berlin, preferring instead to die if the war is lost. As the realisation dawns that defeat is imminent, Hitler—still refusing to see fault in himself, but ony in those around him—swiftly marries his long-term partner Eva Braun (Juliane Köhler), and the two prepare a suicide pact. After the deadly deed is done (or is it?*), Joseph Goebbels (Ulrich Matthes) assumes the role of leader for one brief day, as he and his wife Magda (Corinna Harfouch) extend the insane ideology so far as to take the lives of their own six children in order to "save" them from a life without Hitler and the Third Reich, after which they too commit suicide. Swiftly thereafter comes unconditional surrender, as Traudl and others disappear into the Soviet lines and escape into the countryside. Join us as we disuss the production, consider if there are any lessons to learn for today, * and talk briefly (without reaching any firm conclusions) about the possibility that Hitler and Eva escaped from the Bunker and fled to Argentina.

A critical history of the roots of Nazi occultism and its continuing influence• Explores the occult influences on various Nazi figures, including Adolf Hitler, Albert Speer, Rudolf Hess, Alfred Rosenberg, and Heinrich Himmler• Examines the foundations of the movement laid in the 19th century and continuing in the early 20th century• Explains the rites and runology of National Socialism, the occult dimensions of Nazi science, and how many of the sensationalist descriptions of Nazi “Satanic” practices were initiated by Church propaganda after the warIn this comprehensive examination of Nazi occultism, Stephen E. Flowers, Ph.D., offers a critical history and analysis of the occult and esoteric streams of thought active in the Third Reich and the growth of occult Nazism at work in movements today.Sharing the culmination of five decades of research into primary and secondary sources, many in the original German, Flowers looks at the symbolic, occult, scientific, and magical traditions that became the foundations from which the Nazi movement would grow. He details the influences of Theosophy, Volkism, and the work of the Brothers Grimm as well as the impact of scientific culture of the time. Looking at the early 20th century, he describes the impact of Guido von List, Lanz von Liebenfels, Rudolf von Sebottendorf, Friedrich Hielscher, and others.Examining the period after the Nazi Party was established in 1919, and more especially after it took power in 1933, Flowers explores the occult influences on key Nazi figures, including Adolf Hitler, Albert Speer, Rudolf Hess, and Heinrich Himmler. He analyzes Hitler's usually missed references to magical techniques in Mein Kampf, revealing his adoption of occult methods for creating a large body of supporters and shaping the thoughts of the masses. Flowers also explains the rites and runology of National Socialism, the occult dimensions of Nazi science, and the blossoming of Nazi Christianity. Concluding with a look at the modern mythology of Nazi occultism, Flowers critiques postwar Nazi-related literature and unveils the presence of esoteric Nazi myths in modern occult and political circles.Stephen Edred Flowers, Ph.D., received his doctorate in Germanic languages and medieval studies from the University of Texas at Austin and studied the history of occultism and runology at the University of Göttingen, Germany. The author of more than 50 books, including Revival of the Runes, he lives near Smithville, Texas.
