Podcast appearances and mentions of Heinrich Himmler

The economic realities of a failing war in the east accelerated the timetable for genocide at the highest levels of the Third Reich, but in July 1942 Heinrich Himmler also intended Auschwitz Birkenau to be a site for extracting slave labour from prisoners. He intended this because of the impeding economic and production crises that would engulf the Third Reich as it faced an alliance of America, the USSR and the British Empire. This podcast episode explores the intentions of the SS leader and of Hitler and how they were translated into brutal reality in the summer of 1942. *****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 Hosted on Acast.

Long before the Allies stormed Berlin, a different kind of war was already underway—waged not with bullets and tanks, but with relics, runes, and ancient symbols of power. This three-part series unearths the chilling true story of the Nazis' obsession with the occult and their state-sponsored quest for the Holy Grail. At the center of it all was SS leader Heinrich Himmler, who transformed a crumbling medieval ruin—Wewelsburg Castle—into a spiritual fortress and ritual temple for a cult hiding in plain sight. From secret SS expeditions in search of relics to fabricated sacred texts and blood-soaked ceremonies in the castle's north tower, The Devil Within reveals how myth, pseudoscience, and fanaticism merged into something far more dangerous: belief weaponized. And when the war was lost, Wewelsburg didn't die. The Black Sun chamber survived. And the thirteenth pedestal—the one reserved for the Grail—remains empty to this day.

Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler (1900–1945) var en nyckelperson i Tredje riket. Hans ideologiska övertygelse, flit och administrativa skicklighet gjorde honom central i genomförandet av nazismens rasistiska terror. Genom SS byggde han upp en struktur som förenade paramilitär makt med ideologisk och kvasi-religiös symbolik.Himmler var djupt intresserad av ockultism, pseudohistoria och esoteriska idéer. Han såg SS som en andlig elit, kallad att återuppväcka en uråldrig germansk kraft som enligt honom gått förlorad genom kristendomen. I uppdraget ingick en jakt på den heliga graalen och Tors hammare.I detta avsnitt av podden Historia Nu samtalar programledaren Urban Lindstedt med Ulf Zander, professor i historia vid Lunds universitet, om Himmlers ockulta föreställningar. Detta avsnitt är ett betalt samarbete med History Channel, som den 5 juni klockan 20:00 har premiär för dokumentärserien Hitler's Treasure Hunters. I sex delar skildras hur SS-enheten Das Ahnenerbe sökte efter religiösa reliker och mytiska skatter, såsom den heliga Graalen och Tors hammare – föremål vars övernaturliga kraft skulle bidra till en tysk seger i kriget.Himmler drogs tidigt till nationalistiska och antisemitiska rörelser. Han anslöt sig till nazistpartiet 1923 och gick med i SS 1925. Redan 1929 blev han dess ledare, Reichsführer-SS. År 1936 blev han chef för hela det tyska polisväsendet och byggde en effektiv terrorapparat.Himmler betraktade kristendomen som en främmande och försvagande religion, påtvingad germanerna utifrån. Han var särskilt kritisk till kristendomens betoning på förlåtelse, självuppoffring och jämlikhet – idéer han ansåg skadliga för en krigförande, aristokratisk elit. I stället förespråkade han en återgång till en förkristen, germansk religiositet byggd på ära, blod och jord.Ceremonier inom SS präglades av nyhedniska inslag. Vid bröllop kunde till exempel en svärdsceremoni ersätta kristna löften, och vid begravningar hyllades den avlidnes koppling till förfäder snarare än till Gud. Denna symboliska brytning med kristendomen var inte fullständig, men markerade ett försök att ersätta kyrkans institutioner med SS:s egen kultstruktur.Slottet Wewelsburg blev ett andligt centrum för SS. Himmler ville göra det till högkvarter för en framtida SS-orden. Slottet omgestaltades i rituell stil, och i tornets runda sal lades ett golv med symbolen Svarta solen – kopplad till nazistisk mysticism. Ett kryptliknande rum ska ha använts för att bevara aska från SS-ledare, som en del av Himmlers kultliknande vision.Bild: SS-ledaren Heinrich Himmler (i mitten) anländer tillsammans med Gauleiter Rudolf Jordan (till vänster) och SS-Obergruppenführer August Heißmeyer till Quedlinburgs domkyrka för en nattlig ceremoni till minne av kung Heinrich I:s dödsdag, den 1 juli 1938. Händelsen ägde rum som en del av den nazistiska kulten kring den tidiga tyska historien och dess symboler. 2 juli 1938. Källa: Bundesarchiv, Bild 183-H08445.

El programa Lebensborn, que en alemán significa "fuente de vida", fue una organización creada en 1935 por Heinrich Himmler, líder de las SS en la Alemania nazi. Su objetivo principal era promover el crecimiento de la población aria, considerada por el régimen nazi como la raza superior destinada a prevalecer en Europa. Se estima que alrededor de 20.000 niños nacieron bajo este programa, muchos de los cuales enfrentaron estigmatización y dificultades tras el fin de la guerra debido a esta cruel investigación.

Reinhard Tristan Eugen Heydrich (Halle del Saale, 7 de marzo de 1904 – Praga, 4 de junio de 1942) fue el segundo al mando de las SS, organización del régimen nazi liderada por Heinrich Himmler. En 1936 fue nombrado líder de la Gestapo. Fue protector de Bohemia y Moravia, además de ser quien, desde el año 1939, dirigió la Oficina Central de Seguridad del Reich. Heydrich es, por su personalidad y sus acciones, una de las figuras más controvertidas y oscuras del régimen nazi, haciendo palidecer incluso a las características de su superior Himmler. Heydrich demostró ser un hombre extremadamente inteligente, de una astucia aguda para urdir complicadas conjuras minuciosamente estructuradas con efectos de largo alcance. Era, según Walter Schellenberg, un «animal de presa». Además, demostró ser un acertado administrador y gobernante al estar a cargo de la administración checa.

Am 27. April 1940 ordnete SS-Reichsführer Heinrich Himmler an, eine Barackensiedlung nahe Krakau in ein Lager umzuwandeln: das Konzentrations- und Vernichtungslager Auschwitz. Es wurde zum Ort des Holocausts, des Völkermords an den europäischen Juden. Kuhlmann, Michael www.deutschlandfunk.de, Kalenderblatt

Documentário sobre "Heinrich Himmler" | o Arquiteto da Solução Final | Segunda Guerra Mundial

Adolf Eichmann (1906-62) var organisatören bakom utrotningen av Europas judar under andra världskriget. Efter att Tredje riket besegrats dröjde det innan världen förstod vilken viktig roll byråkraten Adolf Eichmann spelat i förintelsen. Vilket gav Eichmann en möjlighet att fly till Argentinas.Den färglöse byråkraten var också den roll Adolf Eichmann ville spela när han kidnappades 1960 av den israeliska säkerhetstjänsten Mossad och i den långa rättegången i Israel. Men historien visar snarare en glödande antisemit än en kugge som bara löd order, som i Ungern fortsatte att organisera massmord när hans överordnade Heinrich Himmler bett honom sluta.I detta avsnitt av podden Historia Nu samtalar programledaren Urban Lindstedt med Erik Åsard, professor emeritus i Nordamerkastudier vid Engelska institutionen vid Uppsala universitet. Han är aktuell med boken Operation Eichmann.Adolf Eichmann som föddes 1906 hade en obetydlig karriär bakom sig innan han blev medlem i NSDP och SS 1932. Inom SS blev han med tiden blev ansvarig för judiska frågor, reste till Palestina och lärde sig hebreiska och jiddish. Adolf Eichmann blev byråkraten som planerade folkmordet på judarna och han deltog också i Wansee-konferensen i januari 1942 där judarnas slutliga öde bestämdes.Inom SS fick han aldrig en högre grad än Obersturmbannführer, motsvarande överstelöjtnant i Sverige, och kunde därför efter kriget sopa igen spåren efter sig och fly till Argentina.Men den 11 maj 1960 kom historien ifatt honom när en israelisk kommandogrupp från Mossad kidnappade Eichmann i Argentina utanför Buenos Aires. Kidnappningen blev en världssensation och följdes av en lika uppmärksammad rättegång i Jerusalem, som avslöjade vidden av de brott som Eichmann hade gjort sig skyldig till som Förintelsens organisatör. Bild: Adolf Eichmann somObersturmbannführer i SS-uniform (ca. 1942) och  “urvalet” av ungerska judar vid Auschwitz II-Birkenau i det tyskockuperade Polen i maj 1944.

pWotD Episode 2906: Schutzstaffel Welcome to Popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today.With 7,919,078 views on Wednesday, 16 April 2025 our article of the day is Schutzstaffel.The Schutzstaffel (German: [ˈʃʊtsˌʃtafl̩] ; lit. 'Protection Squadron'; SS; also stylised with SS runes as ᛋᛋ) was a major paramilitary organisation under Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party in Nazi Germany, and later throughout German-occupied Europe during World War II.It began with a small guard unit known as the Saal-Schutz ("Hall Security") made up of party volunteers to provide security for party meetings in Munich. In 1925, Heinrich Himmler joined the unit, which had by then been reformed and given its final name. Under his direction (1929–1945) it grew from a small paramilitary formation during the Weimar Republic to one of the most powerful organisations in Nazi Germany. From the time of the Nazi Party's rise to power until the regime's collapse in 1945, the SS was the foremost agency of security, mass surveillance, and state terrorism within Germany and German-occupied Europe.The two main constituent groups were the Allgemeine SS (General SS) and Waffen-SS (Armed SS). The Allgemeine SS was responsible for enforcing the racial policy of Nazi Germany and general policing, whereas the Waffen-SS consisted of the combat units of the SS, with a sworn allegiance to Hitler. A third component of the SS, the SS-Totenkopfverbände (SS-TV; "Death's Head Units"), ran the concentration camps and extermination camps. Additional subdivisions of the SS included the Gestapo and the Sicherheitsdienst (SD) organisations. They were tasked with the detection of actual or potential enemies of the Nazi state, the neutralisation of any opposition, policing the German people for their commitment to Nazi ideology, and providing domestic and foreign intelligence.The SS was the organisation most responsible for the genocidal murder of an estimated 5.5 to 6 million Jews and millions of other victims during the Holocaust. Members of all of its branches committed war crimes and crimes against humanity during World War II (1939–45). The SS was also involved in commercial enterprises and exploited concentration camp inmates as slave labour. After Nazi Germany's defeat, the SS and the Nazi Party were judged by the International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg to be criminal organisations. Ernst Kaltenbrunner, the highest-ranking surviving SS main department chief, was found guilty of crimes against humanity at the Nuremberg trials and hanged in 1946.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 07:34 UTC on Thursday, 17 April 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Schutzstaffel 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 Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Emma.

On raconte parfois, de manière aussi intrigante qu'inattendue, que les nazis auraient inventé la poupée gonflable. Cette affirmation repose sur une histoire qui, bien que peu connue, alimente les fantasmes et les anecdotes historiques insolites. À l'origine de cette rumeur se trouverait un projet secret lancé pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, baptisé « Borghild Project ».L'idée, attribuée au régime nazi, aurait germé au sein de la SS dans les années 1940. Les soldats allemands, envoyés en nombre sur les fronts de guerre, étaient souvent confrontés à l'ennui, à la solitude et aux tentations locales, notamment les prostituées. Les responsables nazis craignaient que leurs troupes contractent des maladies sexuellement transmissibles, en particulier la syphilis, à un moment où les traitements étaient encore rudimentaires. De plus, ils voulaient à tout prix préserver la « pureté raciale » selon les dogmes de l'idéologie aryenne. La solution envisagée fut aussi surprenante qu'inhabituelle : concevoir des poupées sexuelles transportables, utilisables par les soldats pour éviter tout contact avec les populations locales.C'est ainsi qu'aurait été lancé le Borghild Project, supposément soutenu par Heinrich Himmler, l'un des hauts dignitaires du régime nazi. Les poupées devaient être de petite taille pour tenir dans un sac à dos, légères, discrètes et conçues pour ressembler à l'idéal féminin aryen : cheveux blonds, yeux bleus, traits européens. Une dizaine de prototypes auraient été fabriqués, à base de caoutchouc, mais le projet n'aurait jamais été déployé à grande échelle.Pourquoi cet échec ? D'après la rumeur, les soldats auraient refusé d'utiliser ces poupées, jugeant humiliant de transporter un tel objet, surtout s'ils risquaient d'être faits prisonniers. L'idée d'expliquer à un ennemi, lors d'une fouille, la présence d'une poupée gonflable dans leur paquetage leur semblait pour le moins embarrassante.Aujourd'hui, les historiens ne disposent d'aucune preuve irréfutable de l'existence de ce projet. Les documents relatifs à Borghild sont rares, et certains pensent qu'il s'agit davantage d'une légende urbaine que d'un fait historique avéré. Toutefois, cette anecdote reste fascinante, car elle montre jusqu'où une idéologie peut pousser une armée à chercher des « solutions » technologiques pour contrôler les comportements humains — même les plus intimes.Ainsi, même si l'on ne peut affirmer avec certitude que les nazis ont « inventé » la poupée gonflable, cette histoire illustre parfaitement la manière dont la guerre, la propagande et l'idéologie peuvent engendrer les idées les plus inattendues.

We are beginning perhaps the darkest series we have ever produced: the rise of Rudolph Hoess, the commandant of Auschwitz, and the countless atrocities performed under his ever watchful gaze. In the first part of this series, we explore Rudy's idyllic yet stern childhood, the birth of his ideologies, his time as a soldier and prisoner in World War 1 and beyond, and how a developing friendship with Heinrich Himmler in the Artmanen League would be the lynchpin that leads to him donning the SS uniform. Warning: Please be advised that these episodes will feature suicide, abortion, death, desecration of bodies, political extremism, violence, genocide, human experimentation, cannibalism, starvation, anti-semitism, homophobia, religious intolerance, and harm to children.

Waffen-SS var SS-statens militära gren som, från att ha varit en mindre styrka fungerande som livvakter åt Adolf Hitler i början av 1930-talet, vid slutet av andra världskriget hade vuxit till ett stort antal fältdivisioner med närmare 800 000 soldater.Även om Waffen-SS aldrig utgjorde mer än 10 procent av den tyska krigsmakten under andra världskriget har organisationen ändå tilldragit sig stor uppmärksamhet. Vad Waffen-SS egentligen var är inte helt enkelt att reda ut. Bilden av ett elitförband bestående av ariska män, uppfyllda av nazistisk ideologi, är missvisande.I detta avsnitt av Militärhistoriepodden ger sig Martin Hårdstedt och Peter Bennesved i kast med det på många sätt svåra ämnet om SS-statens militära gren, Waffen-SS. Svårigheten ligger i de många krigsbrott och massmord som soldater från Waffen-SS gjorde sig skyldiga till under andra världskriget. För många är Waffen-SS synonymt med ondska.Inom Nazityskland byggde Heinrich Himmler upp ett parallellsamhälle av vad han menade skulle vara en arisk elit. SS, en förkortning av Schutzstaffel, var inledningsvis ingenting annat än en samling män som skulle skydda den nazistiska organisationen och dess ledare, Adolf Hitler. Så småningom byggdes organisationen ut och fick en egen underrättelseverksamhet samt en egen vapengren, Waffen-SS. Till organisationen hörde även koncentrationslägren. SS blev på allvar den mäktigaste organisationen efter att SA tvingats till underkastelse 1934, efter en intern maktkamp inom naziströrelsen. SS organiserade och ledde Förintelsen.Waffen-SS växte avsevärt under kriget, och några av de bäst utrustade och slagkraftigaste förbanden i den tyska krigsmakten var SS-pansardivisionerna. Dock kantades deras krigföring av ständiga krigsbrott på i stort sett alla fronter där de sattes in. Andelen frivilliga och tvångsrekryterade inom Waffen-SS ökade, och vid krigets slut var ungefär 50 % av dess manskap icke-tyskar, rekryterade från Europas alla hörn – inklusive de nordiska länderna.Bild: SS-Brigadeführer Jürgen Stroop (i mitten) ser på medan bostadskvarter brinner under kampen mot det judiska upproret i Warszawas getto.

It's really no wonder the Nazis lost the war. They are just too stupid. Antichristmas! If you've ever wondered what would happen if a department store Santa got tangled up in a Nazi plot involving an evil elf, virgin sacrifice, and the Fourth Reich, then boy, do I have the movie for you. Elves (1989) isn't just a bad movie—it's a certifiable fever dream of absurdity, incompetence, and the kind of misguided ambition that makes it impossible to look away. Strap in, folks, because this isn't your average Christmas horror flick; it's a trainwreck wrapped in tinsel and doused in eggnog-flavored LSD. The Elf: Discount Gremlin in the Clearance Bin Let's start with the titular "elf." If you're expecting some sinister, well-designed creature, think again. The elf in Elves looks like it was cobbled together with paper mâché, a glue gun, and leftover Halloween masks from a garage sale. It's about as mobile as a garden gnome and spends most of its time menacingly staring—or, more accurately, just sitting there while the actors pretend to be scared. This thing couldn't terrorize a toddler, let alone usher in the apocalypse. The Plot: A Nazi Conspiracy, But Make It Festive You know a movie is destined for greatness when the plot hinges on Nazis breeding an elf to create the Antichrist. And the plan? Have said elf mate with a virgin before midnight on Christmas Eve. Because, of course, that's the logical way to bring about the Fourth Reich. Never mind that this plan relies entirely on the elf being both horny and punctual. The sheer stupidity of it all is chef's kiss. It's like someone spun a wheel of bad ideas and just ran with everything it landed on. The plot holes are big enough to fly a sleigh through. For instance, how is this elaborate Nazi elf scheme thwarted? Mostly by the combined incompetence of everyone involved. It's almost laughable how easily the heroes stumble into foiling it—imagine if someone like, I don't know, the mall cop had been paying attention. They'd have wrapped this whole thing up in ten minutes. Dan Haggerty: Santa's Hungover Cousin Dan Haggerty stars as Mike, a chain-smoking ex-detective who looks like Santa's cousin who didn't make the Nice List. Haggerty spends the entire movie sleepwalking through his lines with the charisma of a wet sock. His delivery is so wooden it's a miracle he doesn't spontaneously combust near the Christmas tree. And drunk? Oh, you bet. Whether he actually was or he's just an acting savant, there's an undeniable “boozy uncle” energy that only adds to the film's charm. Watching him go toe-to-toe with Nazi elves is a gift that keeps on giving. The Scenes: Bonkers with a Bow On Top Every scene in Elves feels like it was conceived in a vacuum of logic and coherence. Highlights include: A little boy staring at his sister's nude body and then getting into a tickle fight with her. Yipes! The icy cold mom getting electrocuted in the tub and teaching Ben Kingsley about death scenes. The elf randomly stabbing people, despite having no visible motor skills. Dan Haggerty barging into a Christmas dinner only to have the dad explain the Nazi/Virgin/Elf/Impregnate scheme in front of his family. By the time the movie wraps up, you'll be questioning your life choices but also kind of thankful for the chaos you just witnessed. Final Thoughts: The Christmas Catastrophe You Didn't Know You Needed Elves is a rare gem that transcends badness and loops back around into brilliance. It's not a movie; it's an experience. From the laughable special effects to the sheer audacity of its plot, to Dan Haggerty looking like he'd rather be anywhere else, Elves is the gift that keeps on giving. Gather your friends, crack open some drinks, and bask in the glow of a movie so insane it's practically a holiday tradition waiting to happen. Merry Christmas, you filthy animals. ⯑⯑

In the gripping season finale of "Is This Real?" Season 13, we delve deep into the sinister and secretive world of Nazi occultism. Explore how the Third Reich's obsession with ancient symbols, mysticism, and esoteric rituals fueled their twisted ideology. We'll uncover the historical roots of these dark beliefs, from the Thule Society's influence to Heinrich Himmler's arcane quests, and reveal how these occult practices were woven into the fabric of the Nazi regime. Join us as we separate fact from fiction and explore the chilling intersection of power, myth, and the supernatural in one of history's most disturbing chapters. https://catcaveco.com/?rfsn=7905245.a94ce74⁠ https://linktr.ee/greenarrowmedia?utm_source=linktree_admin_share⁠ ⁠⁠ https://www.tkqlhce.com/click-101131964-5598124⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.jdoqocy.com/click-101131964-11145908⁠⁠ ⁠ https://www.adameve.com/t-03_22_21-sem-brand-landing-page.aspx?&cm_mmc=GGL-_-Brand_US_Brand_Google_Exact-_-Adam_Eve_HV_Exact-_-adameve&sc=SEMGLBRA&medium=tsa&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwte-vBhBFEiwAQSv_xfygncJPohDmXGepyekG_STjPZ__9m32imUI576nfF0-pRMKFvHjpBoCgYEQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds⁠⁠ ⁠ https://www.newrulefx.com//?rfsn=7905258.08b4eb&utm_source=refersion&utm_medium=influencers&utm_campaign=7905258.08b4

What do Heinrich Himmler and Mohandas Gandhi have in common? Both were inspired by the Bhagavad Gītā. As Dorothy Figueira explains, what they found in it were mental projections. So Gandhi saw promotion of non-violence, while Himmler thought it justified killing for an avatar of God called Adolf Hitler.These interpretations – among many others – are the subject of Dorothy's recent book, The Afterlives of the Bhagavad Gītā. As a scholar of religion and comparative literature, she shows how modern translations are often more revealing of their authors' ideas than the texts they engage with.With the Gītā, there are so many readings that it's difficult to summarise where they diverge. Our conversation discusses the “decadence”, as Dorothy terms it, of Western seekers such as Allen Ginsberg. She contrasts this with meticulous colonial scholars and use of the Gītā by Indian nationalists. Detached from commentaries, it proved politically malleable, serving to justify many positions.Some of the most shocking continue to resonate. The Nazi Gītā is resurgent online, via the writings of a European woman known as “Savitri Devi”. Although Dorothy laments these distortions, her general advice is to accept the existence of multiple readings, and to explore them open-mindedly to counteract dogma. She works as a professor at the University of Georgia.

From occult symbols to secret societies, Nazi Germany tapped into the mystical to fuel its twisted ideology. Heinrich Himmler's obsession with ancient gods, Hitler's use of propaganda, and their hunt for mythical artifacts shaped their regime. Today, I'm breaking down the supernatural roots of the Nazis' most insane beliefs. Welcome to CAMP!

I'm delaying the follow up to last week's piece on sleep for another week because I am still experimenting ;). In the meantime, I hope today's little story will put a smile on your face.And a reminder there are just a handful of tickets left for my “lecture with funny bits” at the Museum of Comedy on October 10th - October 9th was cancelled - sorry. This is a super interesting show, even though I say so myself. If you are free, I really recommend it.In 1914, a young German named Heinz Kurschildgen started his first job as an apprentice in a dye factory in his hometown of Hilden. He became fascinated by the chemicals he was working with, and built a small laboratory at home to conduct experiments.Before long, he thought he had found a way to make gold, and even persuaded several investors to give him money. However, it soon became clear that he couldn't make gold and found himself prosecuted for fraud. The courts let him off on the grounds that mentally he was not all there, but only on condition that he solicited no further investments with schemes to make gold. He was soon claiming he could make other transmutations, and became something of a joke figure in his hometown, where a bust was even erected in his honour, albeit ironically, inscribed with the words: “For the genius gold-maker, from his grateful hometown.”But in 1929, he returned to his first calling, which was kidding people he could make gold. He approached German President Paul von Hindenburg and Head of the Reichsbank, Hjalmar Schacht, with a proposal to make the gold they needed to pay off Germany's WWI reparations.These had been set at 132 billion gold marks, which translates to 47,300 tonnes. To give you an idea how unrealistic a figure this was: it was an amount not far off all the gold that had ever been mined in history by that time. That would take quite some alchemy.But Kurschildgen was not a man to be deterred. He raised a load more money, defrauded his clients, and ended up with another 18 months in jail.You really should subscribe to this wonderful publication.After his release, he was soon at it again. This time, he approached the newly elected Nazi government with a plan to make petrol from water. Chief Scientific Advisor, Wilhelm Keppler, paid him a visit and Kurschildgen agreed to reveal his methods and surrender the rights to the government. Meanwhile, his claims about being able to make gold piqued the interest of SS leader Heinrich Himmler, who had a notoriously superstitious streak and a fascination with alchemy. Himmler started generously funding Kurschildgen to conduct his experiments. But Reichsanstalt physicists soon declared his contraptions useless, and Kurschildgen ended up in a concentration camp.“Himmler has fallen for a gold and petrol maker,” said Joseph Goebbels in his dairy. “He wanted to defraud me, too. I knew what he was about straight away”.After two years Kurschildgen was released for good behaviour. Himmler had him put straight back in the camp. On no account did he want this embarrassing story becoming public.After the war, Kurschildgen tried to get recognized as a victim of Nazi persecution, so he could claim compensation. “The Gestapo would stop at nothing to get my invention," he told the courts. As with most of his ventures, his petition was unsuccessful.Even so, you can't fault the man's ambition.Until next time,PS Don't forget Shaping the Earth on October 10th.If you are interested in buying actual gold in these uncertain times, then look no further than my recommended bullion dealer, the Pure Gold Company. Premiums are low, quality of service is high, and you get to deal with a human being who does not moonlight as an alchemist! This is a public episode.

Ett 20-tal svenska kvinnor kom att gifta sig med män från den nazistiska elitorganisationen SS. Ett giftermål med en SS-man var ingen privatsak, utan paret utreddes grundligt av den nazistiska rasmyndigheten RuSHA där mental ohälsa i familjen, bristande fruktbarhet eller judiska förfäder kunde sätta stopp för giftermålet.Syftet var att SS-fruarna skulle föda många ariska barn som skulle bli det tusenåriga rikets styrande elit. Dog deras män förväntades det att kvinnorna skulle gifta sig med någon annan SS-man.I detta avsnitt av podden Historia Nu samtalar programledaren Urban Lindstedt med författaren och journalisten Christoph Andersson som är aktuell med boken Svenska SS-fruar – Med uppdrag att föda ariska barn.Det nazistiska kampförbundet SS, Schutzstaffeln, var en elitorganisation inom det tyska Tredje riket som bland annat fick ansvar för utrotningen av judar. Ledaren Heinrich Himmler var en av de viktigaste ledarna inom Tredje Riket.SS skapade en egen säkerhetstjänst, Sicherheitsdienst (SD) och var involverat i grundandet och driften av säkerhetspolisen SiPo och den hemliga polisen Gestapo. SS satte upp en partiarmé, Waffen-SS, med många frivilliga från andra germanska nationer.Det ställdes höga krav på de som ville bli medlemmar i SS på ariskt ursprung och mental hälsa. En morfar som begått självmord kunde stjälpa en annars lovande kandidat så vida hen inte hade kontakter högre upp i den nazistiska partihierarkin.SS-fruarna skulle vara ariska, friska, fertila, sparsamma och barnkära. Ett tidigare äktenskap utan barn kunde diskvalificera en kvinna för giftermål med en SS-man, men med kontakter högt upp ni nazihierarkin kunde en mentalsjuk syster glömmas bort.Efter kriget återvände många av SS-fruarna till Sverige, trots att de givit upp sitt svenska medborgarskap. Även några av deras män kom att få en fristad i Sverige och kunde på så sätt undkomma straff trots att de varit medlemmar av SS.Lyssna också på Så blev vanliga medelålders män massmördare i Hitlers raskrig samt Kampen om superfröerna i Sovjet, Nazityskland och Sverige.Bild: SS-giftermål mellan svenska Sara Toll och SS-mannen och läkaren Hans Deuschl.

This is the question that historians have argued since the end of World War Two. How much did an average person know, and, more importantly, how responsible were they?  What made people “perpetrators,” “bystanders,” and “victims” within a wider context of coercion and consent?To explore this question is today's guest, Richard Evans, author of “Hitler's People: The Faces of the Third Reich.” We look at a connected series of biographical portraits of key Nazi figures that follows power as it radiated from Hitler to the inner and outer circles of the regime's leadership. This includes personal lives of figures whose names appear in nearly all Nazi biographies, like Heinrich Himmler and Joseph Goebbels (“The Policeman” and “The Propagandist”), as well as professionals with skills deemed advantageous to the Nazi agenda, including Julius Streicher (“The Schoolmaster”) and the eugenicist Karl Brandt (“The Professional”), and some of the women in Hitler's orbit such as Ilse Koch (“The Witch”) and Leni Riefenstahl (“The Star”).Through these biographies, one of our greatest historians explores the enduring and unnerving questions: How could human beings carry out such terrible and murderous atrocities? Were they degenerate, deranged psychopaths, or were they ordinary men doing their jobs? How can examining individual personalities help us reach an understanding of the evil and immorality that sustained the Nazi regime?

El ginecólogo Carl Clauberg intentó esterilizar a cientos de mujeres en Auschwitz. Muchas murieron como consecuencia de sus experimentos inhumanos. Testigos de la época relatan sus terribles experiencias en el campo de exterminio. “Nos llamaban por nuestro número y entonces Clauberg nos inyectaba algo en la vagina. Y luego a veces decían: ‘Ya no tendrás niños’”. Este es el testimonio de Leny Adelaar, sobreviviente de Auschwitz. Hace casi 80 años el ginecólogo alemán Carl Clauberg realizó experimentos para esterilizar a cientos de mujeres en el Bloque 10 de este campo de exterminio por encargo de Heinrich Himmler, reichsführer de las SS. Para ello, Clauberg hizo uso de preparados hormonales y medios de contraste que anteriormente había desarrollado con la colaboración de la empresa química alemana Schering-Kahlbaum. En aquel entonces, Carl Clauberg era uno de los médicos más reputados a nivel mundial en el campo de la reproducción. Su ambición y sus altas aspiraciones le llevaron a ponerse al servicio del régimen nazi. Por otra parte, sus investigaciones sirvieron de base para desarrollar años después la píldora anticonceptiva. Del mismo modo, sus trabajos sobre control de natalidad e infertilidad forman hoy en día parte de los cánones de la medicina moderna, aunque la gran mayoría desconoce la relación entre estos y sus experimentos en Auschwitz. Las últimas sobrevivientes de aquellas inhumanas pruebas narran en este documental sus espantosas experiencias y hablan sobre su vida antes y después de Auschwitz, su sufrimiento, sus pérdidas y cómo lograron seguir con sus vidas después de los experimentos. Una de ellas incluso tuvo la increíble suerte de llegar a tener hijos pese a todo.

Um die gerade errungene Macht zu sichern, gründen die Nationalsozialisten im April 1933 die Geheime Staatspolizei, kurz: Gestapo.

La Orden Negra nazi, envuelta en misterio y teorías conspirativas, fue una organización esotérica vinculada a las altas esferas del Tercer Reich. Se dice que esta orden secreta, liderada por Heinrich Himmler, tenía como objetivo la búsqueda de antiguos saberes y artefactos místicos para asegurar el dominio del nazismo. Inspirada por sociedades ocultistas y la mitología germánica, la Orden Negra buscaba legitimar y potenciar la ideología nazi a través del esoterismo. En sus reuniones secretas en el castillo de Wewelsburg, Himmler y sus allegados supuestamente practicaban rituales destinados a invocar fuerzas sobrenaturales. Se cree que esta organización buscaba el Santo Grial y la Lanza del Destino, artefactos que, según la leyenda, conferirían un poder incalculable a quien los poseyera. Aunque gran parte de estas historias están envueltas en mitos, el interés del nazismo por lo oculto es un hecho documentado. La Orden Negra permanece como un símbolo de las dimensiones más siniestras y esotéricas del régimen nazi, mezclando hechos históricos con leyendas que siguen fascinando e inquietando hasta nuestros días. Hoy, junto al escritor Manuel Ayllón, descubriremos algunos de estos secretos plasmados en su última novela.

The castle of Wewelsburg overlooks the village of the same name in Westphalia, Germany. It once belonged to the prince-bishops of Paderborn, and after that to the Kings of Prussia.

Julián Casanova, catedrático de Historia Contemporánea de la Universidad de Zaragoza, dedica este episodio de "La historia interminable" en el informativo 24 horas de RNE a hablar de las SS, el cuerpo de elite del Partido Nazi y a la visita de su jefe, Heinrich Himmler a Madrid y Barcelona en octubre de 1940.Escuchar audio

Birger Furugård, även kallad Deje-Hitler, grundade tillsammans med sina bröder Sigurd och Gunnar Sveriges första nazistparti den 12 augusti år 1924. Svenska Nationalsocialistiska Frihetsförbundet (SNFF), som senare bytte senare namn till Svenska Nationalsocialistiska Bonde- och Arbetarpartiet (SNBAP).Birger Furugård blev partiets ledare och kom att träffa både Hitler och Goebbels i Tyskland och brevväxlade flitigt på knackig tyska med Heinrich Himmler. Men Birger Furugårds partiverksamhet kom aldrig att locka särskilt många medlemmar eller röster i val och Birger Furugårds problematiska privatliv gjorde inte saken lättare. Vid en partisplittring 1933 blev Furugårds parti det minsta.I denna nymixade repris av podden Historia Nu samtalar programledaren Urban Lindstedt med journalisten och författaren Anna-Lena Lodenius, aktuell med biografin En värmländsk Hitler - Birger Furugård och de första svenska nazisterna.Det första svenska nazistpartiet bildades inte långt efter det tyska NSDP, och Furugårds parti var det första utanför den tyskspråkiga världen. Kontakterna med de tyska nazisterna var täta och omfattande. Även om de tyska observatörerna tvivlade på det svenska nazistiska ledarskapetSvenska nazister hoppades på att även Sverige skulle ockuperas av Nazi-Tyskland precis som Norge och Danmark och såg Furugård som en tänkbar svensk Quisling.Birger Furugård bytte aldrig uppfattning, trots att han hade vänner som avrättades i Tyskland och trots närheten till ett världskrig inpå knutarna i det ockuperade Norge. Inte ens när hans älskade dotter gifte sig med en norsk motståndsman.Bild: Birger Furugård håller tal 1935, Foto: Gunnar Lundh, Nordiska museet, Public DomainMusik: Horst Wessel-sången, wikipedia, Public DomainLyssna också på Ingvar Kamprads fascistiska vän Vill du stödja podden och samtidigt höra ännu mer av Historia Nu?

On sait qu'Hitler et les idéologues nazis avaient conçu l'idée fumeuse d'une race aryenne "supérieure" à tous les autres groupes humains. Pour les dignitaires du régime, ces hommes "parfaits", destinés à dominer tous les autres, devaient être grands, blonds et avoir les yeux bleus.Un portrait qui permettait déjà d'opérer une sélection parmi les peuples existants, les Scandinaves correspondant mieux à cette description, dans l'esprit des nazis, que les Espagnols ou les Turcs par exemple.Mais les nazis ne veulent pas se contenter de repérer ces hommes "supérieurs", ils entendent créer les membres de cette future élite, en favorisant leur naissance.Le lieu d'éclosion de cette "race de seigneurs" sera le "Lebensborn". Placées sous l'égide des SS, et notamment de leur chef, Heinrich Himmler, ces établissements étaient à la fois des maternités, des crèches et des centres d'éducation.Le premier "Lebensborn" ouvre en août 1936. Il y en aurait eu une dizaine en Allemagne, mais d'autres ouvriront dans les pays occupés par les nazis. Les historiens estiment à environ 8.000 le nombre d'enfants nés dans les centres allemands. En tout, environ 20.000 enfants auraient vu le jour dans ces maternités SS.Les femmes mariées à des dignitaires nazis, en majorité des SS, étaient invitées à accoucher dans ces établissements. D'après certains auteurs, des femmes réputées "aryennes", après des examens spécifiques, pouvaient rencontrer dans ces lieux, de façon discrète, des dignitaires nazis.Le fruit de leur union serait alors élevé dans le "Lebensborn" dans lequel elles avaient secrètement accouché. La plupart de ces enfants étaient ensuite adoptés par des familles "aryennes".Mais on y trouvait aussi des milliers d'enfants nés de l'union entre des soldats allemands et des femmes rencontrées dans les pays occupés et jugées aptes à donner naissance à des êtres "supérieurs".D'autres enfants, jugés conformes aux critères de "pureté raciale" des nazis, étaient même enlevés à leurs familles et élevés dans ces établissements. Dans ce cas, ils étaient conditionnés et transformés en bons Allemands, fidèles à leur nouvelle patrie et à leur Führer. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

Sommaren år 1942 ställdes männen Reservpolisbataljonen 101 inför uppgiften att skjuta 1500 judiska kvinnor, barn och äldre män i byn Józefów i det ockuperade Polen. Männen själva, som kom ur Hamburgs arbetarklass och lägre medelklass, var inkallade som reservpoliser eftersom de ansågs för gamla för att aktiv militär tjänst.När de fick sina order från en uppenbart besvärad major Wilhelm Tapp, som beskrev det som en oerhört obehaglig uppgift från högsta ledningen, ställdes männen inför möjligheten att utan sanktioner slippa undan mördandet. Trots detta genomförde de flesta av de åldrande familjefäderna ordern som innebar att i tusental mörda kvinnor, barn och äldre män på mycket nära håll.I denna nymixade repris av podden Historia Nu samtalar programledare Urban Lindstedt med Martin Hårdstedt, professor i historia vid Umeå universitet om boken Helt vanliga män – Reservpolisbataljonen 101 och den slutgiltiga lösningen i Polen av Christoffer R Browning.Massakern i byn Józefów blev inledningen på ett massmord där reservpolismännen medverkade i mordet på 38 000 judar och deporteringen av 45 200 till dödsläger. Männen i Reservpolisbataljonen 101 var inte ensamma om uppgiften. Vid sidan om de politiskt skolade SS förband medverkade en rad polisförband och reservpolisförband i genomförandet av förintelsen.Den 19 juli 1942 gav SS-chefen Heinrich Himmler order om den ”slutgiltiga lösningen” i generalguvernementet Polen. Hela den judiska befolkningen skulle vara deporterad från generalguvernementet senast den 31 december 1942. Enligt Himmlers order var detta ett viktigt led i Polens etniska utrensning, för att garantera framtida ”rasrenhet” i Tyska riket och Europa.Ordern utfördes under de efterföljande månaderna med stor effektivitet. Himmlers slutgiltiga lösning ledde till döden för den judiska befolkningen i generalguvernementet.Bild: Major Wilhelm Tapp, befälhavare över Reservpolisbataljonen 101, tillsammans med sina närmaste män.Musik: Begravningsmarch av Chopin, framförd av Boby Cole, Soundblock Audio.Lyssna på hela vår serie i fem avsnitt om Tredje rikets framväxt:Våldets väg tredje rikets uppkomst.När demokratin gav upp – Tredje rikets uppkomst del 2Tredje rikets förberedelse inför kriget 1933-1939 (del 3)Tredje rikets raspolitik som förövning inför det totala krigetTredje rikets uppgörelse med Versaillefreden Vill du stödja podden och samtidigt höra ännu mer av Historia Nu?

In the 1920s, Germany's Society for Spaceship Travel boasted some of the sharpest scientific minds – like the incandescently brilliant young Wernher von Braun. But it had very little money, and progress was slow. Then, in 1932, the army made a proposal: it would fund more serious research if the enthusiasts at the Society would develop a rocket weapon. Despite a string of failures to launch, von Braun was able to convince key powerbrokers in Nazi Germany that they couldn't afford to ignore rocket technology. How did he do it? And what happened when the murderous Heinrich Himmler made a play for the rocket program? For a full list of sources for this episode, visit timharford.com. Do you have a question for Tim?

Western mountains, geographically dispersed and disposed to sunshine, can still sell you a ride on a 1,700-vertical-foot fixed grip triple, as Montana Snowbowl did with their new Transporter lift last year, and which Mt. Spokane has promised to do should the ski area ever upgrade its Jurassic Riblets. Midwest hills are too short for lift speed to matter as anything other than a novelty.But in the blustery, frenetic East, a single detachable lift can profoundly alter a ski area's reach and rap. Such lifts have proven to be stabilizing mechanisms at Burke, Gunstock, Ragged, Bromley, and Saddleback – mountains without the terrain or marketing heft of their much-larger neighbors. In each case, one high-speed quad (and a sixer at Ragged), cracked the mountain open to the masses, uniting all or most of the terrain with one six-minute lift ride and, often, stabilizing operations that had struggled for decades.Cranmore is one such mountain. Had the Skimobile Express quad not gone up in 1995, Wilcox tells us on the podcast, he's not so sure that the ski area hanging over North Conway would have gotten out of the last century alive. A “dark period” followed the Skimobile's 1990 demolition, Wilcox says, during which Cranmore, tottering along on a double chair strung to the summit, fell behind its high-dollar, high-energy, rapidly consolidating competitors. The Skimobile had been pokey and inefficient, but at least it was freighted with nostalgia. At least it was novel. At least it was cool. An old double chair was just an old double chair, and local skiers had lost interest in those when high-speed lifts started rising up the New England mountainsides in the late 1980s.It's true that a handful of New England ski areas continue to rely on antique doubles: Smugglers' Notch, Magic, Black Mountain in New Hampshire, Mt. Abram. But Smuggs delivers 300 inches of snow per winter and a unique, sprawling terrain network. The rest are improbable survivors. Magic sat idle for half the ‘90s. We nearly lost Black earlier this month. All anybody knows about Mt. Abram is that it's not Sunday River.The Skimobile Express did not, by itself, save Cranmore. If such a lift were such a magic trick, then we'd still be skiing the top of Ascutney today (yes Uphill Bro I know you still are). But the lift helped. A lot.There is a tendency among skiers to conflate history with essence. As though a ski area, absent the trappings of its 1930s or ‘40s or ‘50s origins, loses something. These same skiers, however, do not rip around on 240s clapped to beartrap bindings or ski in top hats and mink shawls. Cranmore could not simply be The Ski Area With The Skimobile forever and ever. Not after every other ski area in New England, including Cranmore, had erected multiple chairlifts. There is a small market for such tricks. Mad River Glen can spin its single chair for 100 more years if the co-op ownership model holds up. But that is a rowdy, rugged hunk of real estate, 2,000 feet of nasty, a place where being uncomfortable is half the point. Cranmore… is not.So Cranmore changed. It is now a nice, modern, mid-sized New England ski area, with a 1,200-foot vertical drop and a hotel at the base. More important, it is an 86-year-old New England ski area, one that began in the era when guys named Harv and Mel and Bob and Jenkins showed up with a hacksaw and a 12-pack and started building a lift-served snowskiing operation, and transitioned into a new identity suited to a new world. Wilcox, with his grasp of the resort's sprawling, mad history, is a capable ambassador to tell us how they did it.What we talked aboutThe new Fairbank base lodge; what Cranmore found when they tore down the old lodge; the future of Zip's Pub; who the lodge is named after; the base lodge redevelopment plan; what happened when the Fairbanks purchased Cranmore; North Conway; traffic; Bretton Woods; Booth Creek; Cranmore pride; “if [the Skimobile Express] hadn't gone in in the mid-90s, I'm not sure if we'd still be here”; the Skimobile Express upgrade and why Cranmore didn't replace it with a new lift; the history of America's Zaniest lift, the original Skimobile; why Cranmore ultimately demolished the structure; potential upgrades for Lookout; the long-rumored but never-built Blackcap expansion; the glory and grind of southern exposure; night skiing; what happened when Vail came to town; competing against discount Epic Passes; why the days of car-counting are over; the history and logic behind the White Mountain Super Pass and the Sun and Snow Pass; Black Mountain; staffing up when your biggest rival raises minimum wage to $20 an hour; and whether Cranmore has considered a Jiminy Peak-esque wind turbine.Why I thought that now was a good time for this interviewThe Fairbank Group did something unsung and brilliant over the past two years. While major resorts across the continent razed and replaced first-generation detachables at a per-project cost approaching or exceeding double-digit millions, Cranmore (which Fairbank owns), and Bromley (which they operate), modernized in a more modest way. Rather than tearing down the high-speed quads that act as base-to-summit people-movers for each ski area, they gut-renovated them. For around $1 million per lift, Bromley's Sun Mountain Express and Cranmore's Skimobile Express got new, modern drives, comms lines, safety systems, and more. The result: two essentially brand-new lifts with three-plus decades of good life ahead of them.Skiers may not see it that way, and most won't even know about the upgrades. The aesthetics, mostly, remain unchanged. But for independent ski area operators knocked into eyes-bulging terror as they see price quotes for a Double Clutch Z-Link Awesomeness 42-passenger Express Lift, the Fairbank model offers an approachable alternative. Knock down the walls, but keep the building intact, a renovation rather than a rebuild.Boyne does this all the time, mostly with lifts the company is relocating: the Kanc quad at Loon becomes the Seven Brothers quad; Big Sky's Swift Current quad becomes Sugarloaf's Bucksaw Express; Sunday River's Jordan quad is, someday, maybe, supposedly going to land at Pleasant Mountain. Sugarloafers may grumble on their message boards about getting a used quad while Sunday River erects its second D-Line bubble lift in two years, but, as Loon President/GM Brian Norton told me about the Seven Brothers upgrade on the podcast last year, the effect of such projects are that skiers get “a new lift… you won't recognize it.” Other than the towers and the chairs, the machine parts of these machines really are brand new.Cranmore and its sister resorts have found a different way to sustainably operate, is my point here. The understated chairlift upgrades are just one expression of this. But both operate, remember, in impossible neighborhoods. Bromley is visible from almost any point on Alterra-owned Stratton, Southern Vermont's Ikon Pass freight train. Cranmore sits just down the road from Vail-owned Attitash and Wildcat, both of which are larger, and both of which share a pass – which, by the way, is less expensive than Cranmore's – with each other and with their 20 or 50 or 60 best friends, depending upon how Epic you want your winter to be. The local lift-served skiing market is so treacherous that Black Mountain, less than 11 miles north of Cranmore and in continuous operation since 1935, was saved from permanent closure last week only when Indy Pass called in the cavalry.Yet, Cranmore thrives. Wilcox says that season pass sales continue to increase every year. Going into year five of Northeast-specific Epic Pass offerings and year six of the Ikon Pass, that's an amazing statistic. Cranmore's pass is not cheap. The early-bird adult price for the 2023-24 ski season came in at $775. It's currently $1,139. For a 1,200-vertical-foot mountain in a state full of 2,000-footers, with just one high-speed lift in a neighborhood where Sunday River runs five, statistical equivalencies quickly fail any attempt to explain this momentum.So what does explain it? Perhaps it's the resort's massive, ongoing base area renovation that landed a new hotel and lodge onsite within the past year. Perhaps it's consumer habit and proximity to North Conway, looming, as the mountain does, over town. Perhaps it's the approachable, just-right size of the mountain or, for families, the fact that all trails funnel back to a single base. Perhaps it's the massive seasonal youth and race programs. It is, most likely, a combination of all of these things, as well as atmospheric intangibles and managerial competence.Whatever it is, Cranmore shows us that a pathway exists for a Very Good Mountain to thrive in the megapass era without being a direct party to it. It's worth noting that Black, which nearly failed, is a fifth-year member of Indy Pass, which Cranmore has declined to join. While this conversation with Wilcox does not exactly explain how the mountain has been so successful even as it sidesteps megatrends, it's easy enough to appreciate, as you listen to his passion for and appreciation of the place, why it does.What I got wrongI noted that the Skimobile Express quad had been upgraded “last year, or maybe the year before.” Cranmore completed the lift overhaul in 2022.I referred to Vail's Northeast Value Epic Pass as the “Northeast Local Pass.”Why you should ski CranmoreThe New England Ski Safari is not quite the social media meme that it is in the big-mountain West, where Campervan Karl and Bearded Bob document their season-long adventures over switchbacking passes with their trusty dog, Labrador Larry. Alta/Snowbird to Jackson to Big Sky to Sun Valley to Tahoe with a sickness Brah. Hella wicked rad. Six weeks and 16 storms, snowshovels in the roof box and Larry pouncing through snow in IG Stories.Distance is not such an obstacle in the East. New England crams 100 ski areas into a six-state region half the size of Montana (which is home to just 17, two of which it shares with Idaho). Between pow runs we can just… go home. But the advent of the megapass in the Northeast over the past decade has enabled this sort of resort-hopping adventure. Options abound:* Epic Pass gives you three of Vermont's largest ski areas (Okemo, Mount Snow, Stowe); one of New England's best ski areas (also Stowe); and four stops in New Hampshire, three of which (Mount Sunapee, Wildcat, and Attitash), are sizeable. Crotched gives you night skiing.* Ikon Pass delivers four of New England's biggest, best, and most complete ski areas: Killington, Sugarbush, Sunday River, and Sugarloaf; as well as two of its best lift systems (Stratton and Loon – yes, I know the gondolas are terrible at both); and a sleepy bomber in Pico.* Indy Pass gives you perhaps New England's best ski area (Jay Peak); three other mountains that stack up favorably with anything on Epic or Ikon (Waterville Valley, Cannon, Saddleback); and a stack of unheralded thumpers where light crowds and great terrain collide (Black Mountain of Maine, Black Mountain NH, Magic, Bolton Valley, Berkshire East); and a bunch of family-friendly bumps (Whaleback, Dartmouth Skiway, Pats Peak, Saskadena Six, Mohawk, Catamount, Bigrock).Hit any of those circuits, and you're bound for a good winter. So why tack on an extra? Cranmore is one of the few large New England independents (along with Bretton Woods, Smugglers' Notch, Mad River Glen, Bromley), to so far decline megapass membership. That makes it a tricker sell to the rambling resort-hopper.But this is not Colorado. You can score a Cranmore lift ticket for as little as $65 on select Sundays, even in mid-winter, (including, as of this writing, the always raucous St. Patrick's Day). If you're skiing Attitash and staying in North Conway, you can roll up to Cranmore starting at 2 p.m. on Wednesday or Saturday for a $69 night-ski and some pre-dinner turns.And it's worth the visit. This is a very good ski mountain. The stats undersell the place. It skis and feels big. The fall lines are sustained and excellent. Glades are more abundant than the trailmap suggests. The grooming is outstanding. It faces south – a not unimportant feature in often-frigid New England.Even if you're megapass Bro (and who among us is not?), this one fits right into the circuit, close to Attitash, Black, Wildcat, Cannon, Loon, Waterville. It's easy to ski multiple New England mountains on a single trip, or even in a single day. The last time I skied Cranmore, I cranked through 17 high-speed laps in three hours and then bumped over to Pleasant Mountain, half an hour down the road.Podcast NotesOn Hans SchneiderHenry Dow Gibson, who New England Ski History refers to as an “international financier” founded Cranmore in 1937, but it was Austrian ski instructor Hannes Schneider who institutionalized the place. Per New England Ski History:Hannes Schneider was born on June 24, 1890 in Stuben, a small town west of Arlberg Pass in Austria. At the age of 8, Schneider started skiing on makeshift skis.While becoming a renowned skier in his teenage years, Schneider developed the Arlberg technique. The Arlberg technique quickly caught on, resulting in Schneider becoming in demand for demonstrations, films, and military training.Following Nazi Germany taking Austria in the Anschluss, Schneider was imprisoned March 12, 1938.In January of 1937, international financier Harvey Gibson purchased land on Cranmore Mountain in Conway with the aim to make North Conway a winter destination. Two years later, after lawyer Karl Rosen managed to transfer Schneider from prison to house arrest, Gibson leveraged his firm's German holdings and negotiated with Heinrich Himmler to get Schneider and his family released from Germany and transported to the United States. Following a massive welcoming party in North Conway in February of 1939, Schneider took over Cranmore and worked quickly to make it one of the best known ski areas in the country.One of Schneider's first big decisions at Cranmore was to expand lift service to the summit, which was accomplished during his first full season when the upper section of the Skimobile was installed. With top to bottom Skimobile coverage, Cranmore was second only to Cannon's tram in terms of continuous lift served vertical drop in New England.With the onset of World War II, Hannes was reportedly involved in the training and providing intelligence for United States and British ski troops. His son Herbert served in the 10th Mountain Division during World War II, earning a Bronze Star for his heroic actions in Italy. Following the war, Herbert returned to North Conway to work for his father.In 1949, Hannes Schneider was hired to oversee construction of the new Blue Hills ski area outside of Boston, Massachusetts. Schneider referred to the ski area was "Little Cranmore."In the spring of 1955, Schneider was actively working to open new terrain at Cranmore, serviced by its first chairlift. Following a day of laying out new terrain in what would become the East Bowl, Schneider died of a heart attack. Schneider's son Herbert assumed control of the Cranmore ski school and, circa 1963 started a two decade run as owner of the ski area.Schneider's name lives on at Cranmore, as a trail (Schneider in the East Bowl) and the annual Hannes Schneider Meister Cup Race.On the Fairbank GroupCranmore is owned by the Fairbank Group, whose chairman and namesake, Brian Fairbank, transformed Jiminy Peak from a Berkshires backwater into the glimmering modern heart of Massachusetts skiing. The company also operates Bromley (which is owned by Joseph O'Donnell), and owns a renewable energy operation (EOS Ventures), a ski industry e-learning platform (Bullwheel Productions), and a snowmaking outfit (Snowgun Technologies). For all this and more, including Jiminy Peak's early embrace of clean energy to power its operation, Brian Fairbank earned a spot in the Ski & Snowboard Hall of Fame in 2020. I hosted him on the podcast that autumn to discuss his career and achievements:On Booth Creek Ski HoldingsIn an alternate universe, Booth Creek may stand today on Alterra's throne, Vail's foil in the Skico Wars. For a brief period in the late ‘90s, the company, founded by former Vail and Beaver Creek owner George Gillett Jr., owned eight ski areas across the United States: Cranmore, Loon, Waterville Valley, Grand Targhee, Summit at Snoqualmie, Bear Mountain (now part of Big Bear), Northstar, and Sierra-at-Tahoe. In 1998, the company attempted to purchase Seven Springs, Pennsylvania. But, as this summary chart from New England Ski History shows, Booth Creek began selling off resorts in the early 2000s. Today, it owns only Sierra-at-Tahoe:On the SkimobileHad Cranmore's monolithic Skimobile survived to the present day, most visitors would probably mistake it for a mountain coaster. When it went live, in 1938, skiers likely mistook it for the future. “Well, by gum, a contraption that just takes you right up the mountain while you sit on your heinie. This will change skiing forever!”Instead, the Skimobile, a two-track monster that toted skiers uphill in single-passenger carts, passed five decades as a beloved novelty before Cranmore demolished it in 1990. The New England ski diaspora is still sore about this. But imagine building a Great Wall of China vertically up your mountain. It would kind of make it hard for skiers, Patrol, groomers, etc. to move around the bump. And someone came up with a better idea called a “chairlift.” When the only feasible alternative was the ropetow, the Skimobile probably seemed like the greatest invention since electricity. But once the chairlift proliferated, the shortcomings of a tracked lift became obvious.The Skimobile rose Cranmore's full 1,200 vertical feet in two sections: the lower, built in 1938, and the upper, constructed the following year. Skiers had to disembark the first to take the second. Here's how they laid out in a circa 1951 trailmap:On the potential Black Cap expansionWilcox and I discussed Cranmore's long-proposed Black Cap expansion, which would give Cranmore a several-hundred-acre, several-hundred-vertical-foot boost off the backside. New England Ski History includes the following details in its short write-up of Black Cap:In 1951, Cranmore obtained an easement on 500 acres of land on Black Cap, a ledgy peak located to the east of the ski area. If the ski area were expanded to the top of Black Cap, Cranmore would see an increase of 700 vertical feet to 1,800 feet, making it the second highest in the Mount Washington Valley.Wilcox provides slightly different numbers, but doesn't rule out the possibility of this significant expansion at some future point. The current trailmap shows Black Cap looming in the background:The Storm explores the world of lift-served skiing year-round.

This week on the Mark Levin Show, President Biden believes he's the commander-in-chief of 2 countries, America, and Israel. Look at the job Biden did for America, now he wants to do that for Israel. The free world doesn't want to be free anymore, and democracies don't want to be democracies anymore because we have become weak and are being destroyed from within by Marxism and terrorism. Later, there was no basis for the judge in Manhattan to fine Donald Trump $5,000 because he did not like what Trump posted. This was an effort by a Democrat judge to put a scarlet letter on Trump because the defendant has the right to speak out and defend themselves. The Biden administration is in a full-court lie about everything that is taking place in the Middle East, and the American media is giving cover for it. 500 Hamas soldiers were trained in Iran, and the Biden administration continues to deny any direct link between Iran and Hamas which is very problematic. Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian is the Heinrich Himmler of the Islamonazi regime in Tehran and should not be allowed into the United Nations, and he is now directly threatening America on American soil.

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian is the Heinrich Himmler of the Islamonazi regime in Tehran and should not be allowed into the United Nations, and he is now directly threatening America on American soil. This regime and their surrogates have slaughtered Americans and taken more hostage, and there has been no response from the Biden administration. Barack Obama, Antony Blinken, Jake Sullivan, and Robert Malley decided that every previous president had foreign policy all wrong and that America was too strong and imperialistic, which has led to the disastrous foreign policy we have under President Biden. We cannot build up terrorist regimes that have killed their own people, killed Americans, and killed anyone who disagrees with them, and put them on the same level as civilized societies. If Israel goes into Gaza and blows Hamas off the face of the Earth, Biden would be against it because it would disrupt the powers in the Middle East. This is the kind of foreign policy that will lead to World War 3. Mark speaks with Sen. Tim Scott about anti-Semitism and anti-American behavior on our college campuses, thousands of illegal immigrants from the Middle East that have entered America through our open Southern border, and the 2024 Presidential election. Also, there is a massive manhunt underway for the Lewiston, Maine mass shooter who killed at least 18 people and injured 13 more in cold blood. Democrats immediately called for more gun control laws, which would do nothing to stop this kind of violence. Our borders are wide open with drugs and guns pouring into our country and our cities and Democrats do not blink an eye, yet they think stricter gun laws will solve the problem. Later, the gag order issued on Donald Trump by Judge Tanya Chutkan is blatant prior restraint and achieves the goal of Jack Smith and the DOJ to prevent him from defending himself. The ACLU despises Trump, but even this was too much for them, saying that Trump retains the 1st Amendment right to defend himself and we have the right to hear him. Learn more about your ad choices.

You've likely heard of ChatGPT, the chatbot from OpenAI. But you've likely never heard an interview with ChatGPT, much less an interview in which ChatGPT reflects on its own impact on the information ecosystem. Nor is it likely that you've ever heard ChatGPT promising to stop producing racist and misogynistic content. But, on this episode of Arbiters of Truth, Lawfare's occasional series on the information ecosystem, Lawfare editor-in-chief Benjamin Wittes sat down with ChatGPT to talk about a range of things: the pronouns it prefers; academic integrity and the chatbot's likely impact on that; and importantly, the experiments performed by a scholar name Eve Gaumond, who has been on a one-woman campaign to get ChatGPT to write offensive content. ChatGPT made some pretty solid representations that this kind of thing may be in its past, but wouldn't ever be in its future again.So, following Ben's interview with ChatGPT, he sat down with Eve Gaumond, an AI scholar at the Public Law Center of the University of Montréal, who fact-checked ChatGPT's claims. Can you still get it to write a poem entitled, “She Was Smart for a Woman”? Can you get it to write a speech by Heinrich Himmler about Jews? And can you get ChatGPT to write a story belittling the Holocaust?Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/lawfare. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
