Podcasts about chancellery

Unpack the chaotic final days of Adolf Hitler inside his Berlin bunker and examine the long shadow of conspiracy that followed. With Soviet troops just blocks away and the Third Reich in ruins, Hitler and Eva Braun took their own lives on April 30, 1945, in a sealed underground room. What happened next would become one of the most debated and mythologized events of the 20th century.The boys break down what eyewitnesses in the Führerbunker claimed to have seen, including the discovery of Hitler's body, the hasty cremation in the Chancellery garden, and the eerie silence that followed. They also explore how the Soviets, despite having dental records confirming Hitler's death, fed uncertainty through contradictory statements, suggesting he might have escaped. This fog of war—and Cold War politics—opened the door to decades of speculation.Sean, Jorge, and Eric walk listeners through the wild theories: Hitler escaping by submarine to Argentina, secret Nazi compounds in Patagonia, and even FBI and CIA documents logging supposed sightings around the world. They dive into the real history of Nazi escape routes, known as the “ratlines,” that allowed high-ranking Nazis like Eichmann and Mengele to flee Europe for South America. These very real events added fuel to the idea that maybe—just maybe—Hitler had done the same.The episode also touches on newly declassified documents from Argentina While entertaining the "what-ifs," the boys also lay out the overwhelming evidence that Hitler died in Berlin, including forensic proof verified as recently as 2018.Throughout, the conversation stays grounded but curious, asking why this conspiracy persists, how it was shaped by misinformation, and what it says about the human desire to believe in hidden truths—even when history says otherwise.Whether you're a skeptic, a history buff, or someone who just enjoys a good mystery, this episode walks the line between fact and folklore, peeling back the layers on one of the 20th century's most enduring legends.www.patreon.com/theconspiracypodcast

Eric welcomes historian Timothy Ryback, the Co-Founder and Director of the Institute for Historical Justice and Reconciliation in the Hague. He has been Director and Vice President of the Salzburg Seminar and a lecturer in History at Harvard University and is the author of Takeover: Hitler's Final Rise to Power (New York:  Alfred A. Knopf, 2024). They discuss why Tim wrote this book and why it seems especially timely now, the political and historical contingency of Hitler's ability to seize power and why it resulted not just from large historical forces but by a series of decisions by individual players in the drama. The roles of President Hindenberg, Chancellor Franz Von Papen, Chancellor Kurt von Schleicher, and media mogul and nationalist party leader Alfred Hugenberg in the decisions that led Hitler to the Chancellery and the fact that the Nazis never commanded more than 37% of the vote in Germany. They touch on the role of political parties, political violence and the role of big business in the rise of Hitler as well as the critique of liberalism that Hitler and others shared of liberal democracy in Weimar Germany and its resonance in contemporary U.S. politics with figures like Peter Thiel and JD Vance.

In BerlinsideOut's second season premiere, Ben and Aaron dive into Germany's recent foreign policy problems – driven by a Chancellery whose threat assessment of Russia is increasingly jeopardising European security. Together with parliamentarians Anton Hofreiter and Thomas Erndl, as well as regular panellists Minna Ålander and Britta Jacob, BerlinsideOut lays out how Germany can address its dangerous lack of strategy – and how it can start turning things around to help Ukraine win, deter Russia, and defend European security and democracy.

The conservation alert comes one day after ERCOT issued a warning to Texas residents as the state braces for freezing rain, snow and subzero temps. ERCOT manages electric power to more than 26 million Texas customers and represents 90% of the state's electric load, according to the company. The Texas grid operator begged residents to avoid using large appliances, lower thermostats a degree or two, turn off and unplug non-essential lights, and set pool pumps to run early morning or overnight; shut off during peak hours due to issues with solar, wind generation. https://twitter.com/ERCOT_ISO/status/1746950617610715376?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1746950617610715376%7Ctwgr%5E60a7f6368d9a615ace0c5168cd3cbb69d9f996b0%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thegatewaypundit.com%2F2024%2F01%2Fwind-turbine-fail-texas-grid-operator-asks-residents%2F Why the Request to Reduce Usage?   Weather. Most of Texas is seeing extremely cold temperatures for an extended period of time.

Previous governor-generals also awarded him Golden Jubilee and Diamond Jubilee medals in 2002 and 2012. Governor-General Mary Simon has apologized for the appointment to the Order of Canada of Peter Savaryn, a veteran who served in the same Nazi-led Waffen-SS division as Yaroslav Hunka. The statement apologized for the distress his appointment to the Order of Canada may have caused. It said her office is also probing his Jubilee medals, which are awarded to Canadians who have made a significant contribution to the country. “It is with deep regret that we acknowledge that Mr. Peter Savaryn was appointed to the Order of Canada in 1987, and we express our sincere apology to Canadians for any distress or pain his appointment may have caused,” the office said in a statement, adding that it had elapsed on his death in 2017. “The Chancellery is committed to working with Canadians to ensure our honours system is reflective of Canadian values.” Separately, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told reporters Wednesday that senior public servants were looking into publishing the full report of the Deschênes Commission, which examined claims that Canada was playing host to war criminals. “We have made sure that there are top public servants who are looking very carefully into the issue, including digging into the archives, and they're going to make recommendations to the relevant ministers,” the Prime Minister said. Savaryn was a leading Progressive Conservative in Alberta and prominent member of Edmonton's Ukrainian community who championed multiculturalism and played a key role in establishing schools with Ukrainian-language instruction. He also set up the Edmonton branch of the Ukrainian scout group Plast, whose participants included Chrystia Freeland, now Deputy Prime Minister. In a 2013 interview with the newspaper Ukrainian Weekly, Ms. Freeland recalled attending the youth group there. “Plast was a very important part of my life growing up,” she said. “I grew up in a Ukrainian community and was active in Plast.”   University of Alberta facing calls to return thousands more in donations connected to Waffen SS veterans https://www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/article-university-of-alberta-facing-calls-to-return-thousands-more-in/ The University of Alberta says it is reviewing other donations it has received after returning $30,000 from the family of Yaroslav Hunka The university is facing calls to return hundreds of thousands of dollars in endowments in the names of Ukrainians linked to the Waffen SS. They include an endowment of about $430,000 in the name of Volodymyr Kubijovych, who played a key role in the SS unit's establishment in 1943. Per Anders Rudling, an expert in the Waffen SS Galicia division, who studied at the University of Alberta, said for the sake of “consistency” the university should return other donations from SS veterans to fund Ukrainian studies He said it did not make sense just to return $30,000 from the family of Mr. Hunka, who was a teenager at the time he volunteered to fight with the Waffen SS division, while keeping money from more senior figures. University of Alberta spokesman Michael Brown said last week it has decided to “close the endowment fund that existed in Mr. Hunka's name and return the funds to the donor.” “We are currently reviewing other endowments, and our general naming policies and procedures, including those for endowments, to ensure alignment with our values,” he said in a statement. the university should also return donations in the names of other former Waffen SS veterans, including $50,000 from the family of Levko Babij. His donation was designed to fund the study of 20th-century Ukrainian history, especially during the Second World War. Prof. Rudling said Mr. Babij was a former president of the Ukrainian veterans association. The university also received a $15,000 donation from Roman Kolisnyk, who was an officer with the rank of untersturmführer in the Galicia Waffen SS division, and editor of the journal of the Ukrainian Waffen SS veterans. After the war he settled in Toronto. Established in 2011 by Mr. Kolisnyk, the fund is worth around $100,900 and supports translations and publications of Ukrainian literary works, memoirs and diaries. The university's Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies, which their donations helped fund, refers in past newsletters to their service with the SS Galicia division. Veterans of the SS regiment have also held positions at the University of Alberta. They include Peter Savaryn, who became its chancellor. In 1987 Mr. Savaryn is one of around 12 former members of the Nazi-led Waffen-SS Galicia division with endowments, awards and donations in their name at the university, according to Dr. Rudling. The university's Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies has received endowments and donations worth over $1-million from Ukrainians who served in the Waffen-SS Galicia division or who helped set it up, according to research by professor Per Anders Rudling of Lund university, Sweden, an expert on the division.   Historical context stuff Mr. Savaryn's obituary in the Canadian Institute of Ukrainian studies newsletter explained how as a 17-year-old he joined the division, after being summoned with his brother by his father “when Hitler's drive to the East faltered in 1943 and the Soviet military began its relentless counter-offensive.” His father told him he was left with two options: “either ‘go to the woods' to join the Ukrainian partisans fighting the Germans Poles and Soviets” or enlist in the Galicia division.   In the decades after the Second World War the division's veterans debated whether creation of the formation had been a mistake, whether their idea of breaking from the Germans at the war's end and becoming the core of a Ukrainian army had been a fantasy, and whether they had in fact been a German and not a Ukrainian army,   The Galicia division was set up by Heinrich Himmler, the head of the SS, from Ukrainian volunteers after the German defeat at the battle of Stalingrad, to try to stem the Soviet advance. Soldiers swore an oath to Hitler and the division's newspaper was infused with antisemitic and National Socialist propaganda. An edition days before the soldiers' surrender in 1945 claimed Jews were plundering Ukraine.   ‘Disinvitation from École Polytechnique group sent Trudeau government into damage control mode https://nationalpost.com/news/ecole-polytechnique-group-sent-trudeau-into-damage-control Quebec-based anti-gun group declaring it would disinvite Prime Minister Justin Trudeau from the annual commemoration of a 1989 mass shooting sent several officials within the Public Safety Ministry into damage-control mode looking for ways to respond, documents released under access-to-information show. The emails reveal that government staffers reacted with concern to news coverage of a March 2021 letter sent to Trudeau The letter and subsequent coverage expressed the group's anger over Bill C-21, which the group described as “lamentable.” In a March 18 French-language article published by Radio-Canada, PolySeSouvient accused Trudeau of “abandoning” and “betraying” victims of Canadian gun violence over the government's announcement of a voluntary “buy back” program for certain firearms, instead of mandatory confiscation, which PolySeSouvient had demanded. The letter to Trudeau from the group, translated from French, had said: “If you continue with this bill, we will never again welcome you alongside us when we mourn the death of our daughters, sisters and friends during the annual commemorations.” Later that year, the Trudeau government adjusted its policy so that its initial voluntary buy back became the mandatory confiscation the group had been demanding. It is in the process of becoming law. That letter and attached fact sheet — claimed that not going all-in on confiscating firearms from licensed owners was a reversal of previous election promises vowing to “initiate a buyback program for all assault weapons,” and blamed Canada's “gun lobby” for fomenting trepidation over supposed failures in New Zealand's firearm confiscations following the 2019 Christchurch shootings in New Zealand. It also refuted criticisms that the confiscation would adversely impact First Nations people, as they would be given a special amnesty of two years to replace their newly banned firearms. “Under a volunteer buyback program, countless fully functional assault weapons would remain in circulation, which could be stolen or used by their owners for violent purposes,” read the letter's attached note.   Ontario NDP removes Sarah Jama from caucus after Israel-Hamas comments https://globalnews.ca/news/10042820/ontario-ndp-removes-sarah-jama/ Ontario NDP leader Marit Stiles says she has removed rookie legislator Sarah Jama from caucus. Stiles says the member for Hamilton Centre, who has been under fire for comments about the Israel-Hamas conflict, made what Stiles calls “a number of unilateral actions” that have undermined the party's collective work and broken the trust of her colleagues. Jama spoke this morning in the legislature against a motion to censure her for a statement she made on the conflict between Israel and Hamas.She said Premier Doug Ford's government is targeting her to distract from its own scandals, and also said that governments and institutions in Canada are trying to use their voice and weight to silence people who support Palestinians. The Progressive Conservative motion would effectively silence Jama in the legislature and calls on the Speaker not to recognize her in the House until she retracts her original statement and apologizes again.Jama's original statement, on social media, decried “the generations long occupation of Palestine” without mentioning the attack by Hamas militants on Israeli civilians. Poilievre gets international attention for apple-eating viral moment https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/poilievre-apple-video-1.7003024   China linked to propaganda campaign targeting Trudeau, Poilievre, says Global Affairs https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/china-spamouflage-mps-1.7005066 The Chinese government likely was behind a "spamouflage" disinformation campaign targeting Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre and other MPs in August and September, says Global Affairs Canada. A "spamouflage" campaign is one which uses a network of new or hijacked social media accounts to post propaganda messages across various platforms, such as Facebook, X/Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, Medium, Reddit, TikTok and LinkedIn. The department's Rapid Response Mechanism (RRM), which was set up to monitor foreign state-sponsored disinformation efforts, said the campaign was "connected to the People's Republic of China" and was meant to curb criticism of the communist regime. According to a report released Monday morning, the propaganda campaign began in August and targeted dozens of MPs from across the political spectrum. An email from GAC officials to the affected MPs said 47 of them from across Canada were targeted. The email advised MPs on how to protect themselves from foreign interference and assured them the campaign did not present a threat to their safety.

Sei es die Konzeption einer Euro-Drohne, Pirateriebekämpfung vor der somalischen Küste oder die Integration des niederländischen Heeres in die Bundeswehr, anhand konkreter Einsätze und Rüstungskooperationen schlüsseln wir die Zusammenarbeit auf. In unserer Kategorie "Sicherheit auf dem Campus" geht es diesmal um prominenten Besuch in der Alten Aula der Universität Heidelberg.Kontakt:Instagram: @ash_heidelbergGmail: podcast.ashhd@gmail.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/ash.heidelberg/Auftritt: Aktuelles (sicherheitspolitik.de)Zusatz zur leider nur sehr kurz angeschnittenen Heidelberger Rede Morawieckis zum besseren Verständnis dieser sehr bedeutenden Äußerung polnischer Außenpolitik:Vollständige Rede (in englischer Originalfassung):Mateusz Morawiecki at Heidelberg University - "Europe at a historic turning point" - The Chancellery of the Prime Minister - Gov.pl website (www.gov.pl)Die Kernaussage Morawieckis bestand in der Bewerbung der Bewahrung bzw. Wiederherstellung europäischer Selbstbehauptung in der globalen Politik durch (militärische) Stärkung der nationalen Vielfalt. Er warnte vor einer neo-imperialen Zentralisierung der EU, wie sie aus Perspektive seiner Regierung aktuell geschehe (“The alternatives are either a technocratic utopia, which some in Brussels seem to envision, or a neo-imperialism, which has already been discredited by modern history.”). Außerdem betonte er den Wunsch der polnischen Regierung, mit Deutschland und Frankreich als Kernnationen der EU eine engere, und dementsprechend den polnischen Bedürfnissen gegenüber aufmerksamere Zusammenarbeit einzugehen (“This reconciliation bears fruit today in the special political relations between Berlin and Paris. This special mutual sensitivity to the rationales and sensitivities of the two capitals grew out of a tragic past. For the sake of European balance, but also because of a much more tragic past, the same model of mutual sensitivity to the rationale and interests of Warsaw is needed. Today - we do not have a sense of this sensitivity in Warsaw.”).Hier die persönliche Synthese des Premierministers: “So finally, allow me to summarise the four major matters that have been the focus of my address.1. Firstly, we cannot build our future without learning from our past. History shows that a politics that does not respect sovereignty and the will of the people will sooner or later dissolve into utopia or dictatorship. Europe has a bright future if it respects the diversity of its nations.2. Secondly, the future of Europe is being forged by Ukraine's fight for freedom on our behalf. It is our duty to support Ukraine. The Ukrainian's fighting spirit should be an inspiration and guide for our actions.3. Thirdly, a democratic community of nations, based on an Ancient Greek, Roman and Christian heritage, one which fosters peace, freedom and solidarity, is the bedrock of European values. These values have formed the basis of European integration, and they can continue to be the continent's driving force.What threatens to undercut those forces is centralisation. The rule of the strongest and the arbitrary entrustment of Europe's future to a heartless bureaucracy, that is trying to "reset values". Such a “reset”, that is - bureaucratic centralization under the guise of “federalization”, is the seed for great future conflicts and social rebellions.4. Fourthly, if Europe is to win the race for global leadership it must transform.It must be ready to accept new countries but also, in the face of a larger community, to limit some of its competencies.In the face of external threats, it must strengthen its defensive capabilities. Facing economic and social challenges, it must build an egalitarian and ordoliberal type of prosperity and fight tax hells dressed up as tax havens.Europe must maintain wise alliances, but it must also foster independence and not become the victim of energy or any economic blackmail.”Literatur:Einleitung: Initiative pour l'Europe - Discours d'Emmanuel Macron pour une Europe souveraine, unie, démocratique.ARCHIVIERT - Staatspräsident Macron: Initiative für Europa - Frankreich in DeutschlandMilitärische Infrastruktur der EU: Wie Europa sich für den Ernstfall rüsten willOscar-Regen für "Im Westen nichts Neues" - ZDFheuteOppenheimer · Film 2023 · Trailer · KritikHistorische Entwicklung:Höfer, Gerd, Europäische Armee.

For years following reunification, Berlin was the largest construction site in Europe, with striking new architecture proliferating throughout the city in the 1990s and early 2000s. Among the most visible and the most contested of the new projects were those designed for the national government and its related functions. Julia Walker's Berlin Contemporary: Architecture and Politics After 1990 (Bloomsbury, 2021) explores these buildings and plans, tracing their antecedents while also situating their iconic forms and influential designers within the spectacular world of global contemporary architecture. Close studies of these sites, including the Reichstag, the Chancellery, and the reconstruction of the Berlin Stadtschloss (now known as the Humboldt Forum), demonstrate the complexity of Berlin's political and architectural “rebuilding”-and reveal the intricate historical negotiations that architecture was summoned to perform. Lea Greenberg is a scholar of German studies with a particular focus on German Jewish and Yiddish literature and culture; critical gender studies; multilingualism; and literature of the post-Yugoslav diaspora.

In April 1945, as the Red Army was closing its grip on Berlin, coming closer and closer to Hitler's last refuge under the Chancellery gardens, one of his favourite pilots managed to fly a small aeroplane into the burning capital and land it near Brandenburg Gate. On board she carried a wounded future head of the Nazi Luftwaffe. Aircraft Capitan Hanna Reitsch.  Here is the story of her remarkable Berlin coup. And of her post-war denial.Music theme:  “Assembly Line Frustration" © Ionics Music | TerraSound.deSound effects:BBC Sounds (artillery barrage, Junkers Ju-88, Stukas, Messerschmitt, air-raid sirens, park ambience)Search Results | BBC Sound Effects (bbcrewind.co.uk)Freesounds.org (Junker Ju-52 by Reinsamba, Creative Commons Licence 4.0https://freesound.org/s/128542/Frog in the throat: privateSupport the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/BerlinCompanion?new=1)

Germany has become the latest Western nation to publicly warn that a Russian invasion of Ukraine may be imminent. The chancellor Olaf Scholz, who's due in Kyiv on Monday, said there was a serious threat to peace in Europe. We speak to the German Social Democrats Spokesperson on Foreign Affairs, Nils Schmid. Also in the programme: Canadian protesters angry at Covid restrictions have been cleared from an important border crossing with the United States almost a week after they began their blockade; and a Nigerian rights group has asked the High Court to force the government to publish an agreement with Twitter that led to the restoration of the social media company's services last month following a six-month ban.

President Emmanuel Macron has announced that he will hold talks on the phone with the Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday. He made the announcement after meeting with the German Chancellor Olaf Scholz to discuss de-escalation of the tensions between Russia and Ukraine. Also in the programme: Police in the UK have said they will investigate alleged parties held at Downing Street during the Covid lockdown. And how will the coup in Burkina Faso affect the fight against Islamist insurgency in the region?

It's been nearly two weeks since the results of the German election came in. And still, Angela Merkel remains in post at the Chancellery in Berlin.    With no knock-out winner in these elections, what type of government do Germans exactly want and what will they actually get?    In today's episode, our Europe editor Matt Frei explains the 2021 election results that saw the SPD emerge from the ashes of 2017 and Merkel's party record their worst result since World War Two.   And in an election framed as a climate election while the Greens doubled their votes, will their failure to not finish in the top two mean they have to dilute their radical policies to enter into government? And does that mean this is not a change election, but more a continuity one?   Sources: BBC News, The Guardian 

After 16 years in power, the Christian Democrats without Angela Merkel have reaped historically bad results in Sunday's election. All the votes have been tallied and the Social Democrats have come out on top, but with only 25.7% of the vote they will need to get both the Greens and the Liberals on board for a coalition. But other coalition options are also in play, including the “Jamaica” coalition that would return the Christian Democrats to the Chancellery. Rachel Tausendfreund, GMF's editorial director based in Berlin talks Germany's election results, future coalition possibilities, and the implications for the “traffic light” or the “Jamaica” coalition for European and transatlantic priorities with Markus Ziener, GMF's Helmut Schmidt Fellow, and Peter Sparding, GMF fellow and resident Germany expert.

This lecture event is part of the 11th Annual Kościuszko Chair Spring Symposium in honor of Lady Blanka Rosenstiel sponsored by the Kościuszko Chair in Polish Studies and the Center for Intermarium studies. Lady Blanka Rosenstiel and the American Institute of Polish Culture (AIPC) established the Kościuszko Chair of Polish Studies at IWP in 2008. The Kościuszko Chair serves as a center for Polish Studies in the broadest sense, including learning, teaching, researching, and writing about Poland's culture, history, heritage, religion, government, economy, and successes in the arts, sciences, and letters, with special emphasis on the achievements of Polish civilization and its relation to other nations, particularly the United States. We remain grateful for Lady Blanka's leadership in founding this Chair at IWP. About the lecture: Bolesław Piasecki is considered one of the most controversial Polish politicians of the 20th century. A few years ago, I had the honour of presenting a critical review of one of Piasecki's newer biographies at the Kościuszko Chair symposium at the IWP. As I write a biography of this politician, I wish to share my findings with you. I want to focus on one of the least known episodes in Piasecki's biography – his eight-month stay in a communist prison at the turn of 1944-1945 and the meeting with Stalin's governor in Poland's occupied territories NKVD General Iwan Sierow. This event, both mysterious and sensational, is considered the beginning of Piasecki's agent involvement in cooperation with the Soviets and the foundation of his later position in communist Poland. I will try to verify this view and how these talks could have looked like, and whether Piasecki's last activities' agent-based nature is possible. About the speaker: Wojciech J. Muszyński, PhD, is a historian and a researcher at the Institute of National Remembrance (Warsaw, Poland). His research focuses on the history of political and ideological movements in the Second Polish Republic, Polish-Jewish relations, and military history. He is a Member of the Team to Assess Requests to Recognize Opposition Activity during the People's Republic of Poland at the Chancellery of the President of the Republic of Poland. He is the author or co-author of many monographs, including Białe Legiony 1914–1918. Od Legionu Puławskiego do I Korpusu Polskiego (2018); Białe Legiony przeciwko bolszewikom.

"No deal is better than a bad deal." So said Britain's Prime Minister Theresa May, clarifying her country's position on Brexit negotiations with the EU. In the absence of a deal with the EU Britain would “revert to WTO rules” after Brexit. But what does that mean, exactly? The Inquiry has the answer.

Divorce was virtually impossible in Imperial Russia. The Russian Orthodox Church monopolized matrimony, and it rarely granted divorce except in extraordinary cases of adultery, abandonment, sexual impotence, or exile. Marriage as an unbreakable religious sacrament still held. Yet, by the end of the nineteenth century, Russian perceived a “crisis of marriage” as social and economic change upset the traditions of wedlock and family life. Where, then, did a discordant couple turn? As Barbara Engel shows in Breaking the Ties that Bound: The Politics of Marital Strife in Late Imperial Russia (Cornell UP, 2011), appealing to the Imperial Chancellery for the Receipt of Petitions served as an extra-legal means of marital separation. Through the Chancellery, supplicants, overwhelming of which were married women, could get the legal right to live separate from their husbands. But these appeals reveal much about married life in Russia. Through these cases, Engel spins a lively and intimate tale of marital conflict, gender identity, home life, and Russian women’s efforts to assert an autonomous selfhood and identity by challenging nuptial traditions.
