Hitler och hans soldater var rejält påtända. Fredrik Sjöberg läser om drogernas roll i Tredje riket och funderar över litteratur som kan råda bot på bristande läsförståelse hos pojkar och unga män. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna. Essän sändes ursprungligen 2017-01-23.Ett återkommande katastroflarm i samhällsdebatten är den bristande läsförståelse som särskilt utmärker pojkar och yngre män. Problemet är nog ofta överdrivet, men det kan heller inte förnekas, och en mindre armé av pedagoger försöker därför tänka ut hur man ska få pojkarna att läsa lika många böcker som flickorna gör. Lätt är det inte. Eftersom ingen har lyckats fylla tomrummet efter Frans G Bengtsson, erbjuds inte mycket mer än torftiga deckare och biografiska hjälteepos om onaturligt rika män som har lyckats förlänga sin barndom genom att sparka boll.Och allt det där är nog bra, men kanske kräver pojkarnas nu rent epidemiska indolens ändå tyngre doningar, och då är det noga taget bara två typer av böcker som duger: sådana som handlar om Hitler, och sådana som handlar om droger. Bägge dessa ämnen har en förunderligt vitaliserande inverkan också på mycket trötta existenser – så låt oss ett ögonblick tala om den från tyska översatta fackboken Droger i Tredje riket, av Norman Ohler. En svårslagen kombination, en form av litterärt blandmissbruk som lovar att höja läsförståelsen både hos datorspelande hemmapojkar och tröga haschtomtar med större frisyr än förstånd.Redan här bör dock inflikas att Norman Ohler inte är någon muntergök, utan en djupt seriös arkivdykare med ambitionen att vara historiskt objektiv, och att hans bok av det skälet inte riktigt når upp till samma stilistiska nivå som den avlägset besläktade satiren Jägarna på Karinhall, Carl-Henning Wijkmarks debutroman från 1972 – en klassiker som förutom sin rollbesättning av råsupande nazister på kalas hemma hos morfinisten Hermann Göring, även har fördelen av att vara både rolig och djupsinnig samt, inte minst, pornografisk. Den kombinationen slår ingen.Hur som helst, Droger i Tredje riket utgår från tidigare svåråtkomliga dokument som speglar dels användningen av amfetamin inom Wehrmacht och Luftwaffe, dels omfattningen av det drogmissbruk som förvandlade führern själv till en darrande pundare utan större verklighetskontakt. Det är onekligen fascinerande läsning. Skrämmande också, med tanke på att kemisterna knappast har legat på latsidan sen dess och sannolikt kan förse nutidens makthavare och mördarmaskiner med ännu effektivare blandningar av uppiggande och avtrubbande preparat.Den tyska drogindustrin var tidigt världsledande. Opiater hade man sysslat med länge och redan i slutet av 1800-talet lanserade läkemedelsbolaget Bayer en medicin mot hosta och huvudvärk som kallades Heroin. Senare, under Weimarrepubliken, sköt produktionen av morfin och andra opiater i höjden. Bara under ett enda år – 1928 – förädlades närmare 200 ton opium, och vid det laget hade de tyska bolagen även lagt under sig hela 80 procent av världsmarknaden för kokain. Tonvis. Inte var man så noga med restriktioner heller; lagstiftningen hängde inte med i svängarna, så när nazisterna i början av 30-talet formerade sig för en attack mot den unga demokratin, fanns många missbrukare man kunde stigmatisera som depraverat slödder i den förment sunda, ariska staten. Hitler själv gällde för att vara en renlevnadsman, så nu skulle drogträsket saneras. Det gick inget vidare.Som så ofta var det sportfånarna som testade gränserna. Under Berlinolympiaden 1936 nåddes tidigare oanade resultat med hjälp av prestationshöjande medel. Dopning. Framför allt lyckades amerikanerna vinna tack vare en sorts amfetamin som hette Benzedrine. Det var fullt accepterat inom idrotten på den tiden, och tyskarna vill nu inte vara sämre. Redan året därpå hade man utvecklat en mångdubbelt starkare variant av metylamfetamin som kom att kallas Pervitin. Ett uppåttjack av guds nåde, renare och bättre än allt vad den fiktive drogfabrikören Walter White lyckas koka ihop i TV-serien Breaking Bad.Pervitin blev snabbt en folkdrog i Tredje riket. Medlet användes för att integrera simulanter och gnällspikar i arbetslivet, för att motverka depressioner, sjösjuka, klimakteriebesvär, hösnuva och allmän håglöshet. Koncentrationsförmågan stegrades, liksom sexualdriften, och inte behövde man sova så mycket heller, vilket naturligtvis öppnade för användning i det militära. En sovande soldat gör inte mycket nytta. Efter en lagom dos Pervitin kunde man kriga flera dygn i sträck. Dessutom försvann rädslan, andra hämningar också. När Wehrmacht väl hade gjort sin beställning låg produktionen på i runda slängar 800 000 Pervitintabletter – per dag.Amfetaminmissbruket är såklart inte hela förklaringen till de tyska framgångarna i början av kriget, men blixtanfallen i Polen och Frankrike låter sig åtminstone delvis begripas i ljuset av att åtskilliga soldater faktiskt var påtända. Även generalerna. Den ryktbare fältherren Erwin Rommel krossade allt motstånd på västfronten tack vare en för tjackpundaren typisk form av hänsynslös självöverskattning. Först långt senare, i höjd med Stalingrad, började drogbrukets nackdelar bli märkbara.Om allt detta berättar Norman Ohler i sin bok, men till historien hör också huvudpersonen själv, Adolf Hitler, och hans livläkare, sedermera langare, Theodor Morell. Att Hitler mot slutet av kriget behandlades med fullkomligt fantastiska mängder hormoner, steroider och mediciner av alla slag är sedan länge väl känt, men forskarna har hittills varit ovilliga att betrakta honom som narkoman. Snarare har bilden varit att Hitler hade ett pressande jobb, och därför gott kunde behöva lite speed för att komma i form, och att hans vegetariska diet påkallade diverse kosttillskott.Nu framträder en helt annan bild. Av Theodor Morells bevarade anteckningar framgår att han ordinerar allt starkare doser av narkotika, inte bara Pervitin. Särskilt efter attentatet i Varglyan, 20 juli 1944, när Hitler sånär dödades av Claus von Stauffenbergs portföljbomb, behövdes också alltmer smärtstillande, och lugnande. Morell petade i honom duktiga doser kokain, gärna i kombination med Eukodal, ett morfinliknande preparat som gavs intravenöst. Tidvis var patientens vener lika illa åtgångna som på en durkdriven heroinist. Framåt vintern det året, när kriget i praktiken redan var förlorat, var han mycket nära att sluta sina dagar genom en överdos.Hur det sedan gick vet alla. Det nya i Norman Ohlers historieskrivning är tanken att Hitler möjligen inte alls drabbades av Parkinson eller någon annan sjukdom som till sist förvandlade honom till ett kraftlöst vrak, utan att han istället, på vårkanten 1945, kort före självmordet i bunkern, huvudsakligen led av abstinens. Vid det laget hade nämligen de allierade bombat läkemedelsfabrikerna till grus och aska. Och langarens lager av droger var slut.Likt alla tyska författare är Ohler mycket noga med att inte förringa eller bortförklara Hitlers ansvar för krigets bestialiteter, och han befinner sig sålunda, litterärt sett, långt ifrån Frans G Bengtssons lediga legender om brutala hjältekonungar och flugsvampdrogade bärsärkar, så när allt kommer omkring är kanske den bristande läsförståelsen bland pojkar bäst avhjälpt genom att skolbiblioteken köper in klassuppsättningar av Röde Orm. Eller varför inte Jägarna på Karinhall. I alla händelser är Droger i Tredje riket, komplett med register och notapparat, en förnämlig bredvidläsningsbok.Fredrik Sjöberg, författare och biolog LitteraturNorman Ohler: ”Droger i tredje riket – det dopade blixtkriget” (Lind & co), översättning Henrik Lindberg.
As MUDEC's first Luxembourgish Executive Director retires after 24 years, Raymond Manes shares the love story behind Miami University in Luxembourg. For almost six decades, a slice of American university life has been quietly thriving in the Grand Duchy. The Miami University John E. Dolibois European Center, known to most simply as MUDEC, has welcomed students from Ohio to Luxembourg since 1968. This month, its first Luxembourgish Executive Director, Raymond Manes, closes a 24 year chapter as he steps into retirement. He arrived at Miami in 2002, took the helm in 2020, and steered the centre through the pandemic when American students were able to continue their semester abroad while most universities on both sides of the Atlantic had gone fully online. "For me, it's a love story of 24 years. It has been really a wonderful time at Miami. But Miami is not in Florida." That last point is the one Raymond loves to correct. Miami University sits in Oxford, Ohio, roughly halfway between Cincinnati and Dayton, and its name traces back to the Myaamia tribe, whose people were later moved to Oklahoma. The connection runs deep today: tribe members study at Miami with free tuition, and of around 150 who have graduated, 45 have come through Luxembourg. The university's Myaamia Center leads the revitalisation of the tribe's language through dictionaries, educational platforms and storytelling. Luxembourg students are also allowed to study at Miami University in Ohio, with scholarship and tuition waivers. The D in MUDEC belongs to one extraordinary man. John E. Dolibois, a Luxembourger born in 1918, who emigrated to the United States aged thirteen without speaking English, became an American citizen in 1941, and graduated from Miami University. As a US soldier he returned to Europe near the end of the war and became one of the interviewers of Nazi war criminals, first at Mondorf and later at the Nuremberg Trials. The moment that changed everything came on holiday in Venice, when a waiter relayed a phone call from "the President." "He thought it was the president of the university, his boss. He picked up the phone: 'Yes, this is John Dolibois.' 'Yes, sir, this is Ronald Reagan.'" Reagan appointed Dolibois US Ambassador to Luxembourg in 1982, the seed that grew into the centre bearing his name in 1988. Raymond knew him and his wife Winnie right up until his death in 2014, visiting John at his retirement home near Cincinnati, where a glass of Luxembourgish wine would loosen the stories, including the time he interviewed Hermann Göring in his cell. That bond between America and Luxembourg sits at the heart of the programme's founding philosophy, captured in three words: Study, Engage, Travel. The host family tradition was born of gratitude, with Luxembourg families opening their homes to young Americans as a way of saying thank you after the war, and out-of-class learning, from the military cemeteries to the museums of Diekirch and Ettelbruck, remains central. If there is a tension running through American higher education, it is that high tuition turns students, and their families, into clients. Raymond is candid about the pressure that creates, where nearly everyone expects an A, and about the parents who can make an educator's autonomy a daily negotiation. "We call them the helicopter parents, always watching, hovering; and the mowing parents, who try to clear every obstacle from their child's path." Across 24 years, the student has changed too. The year-long students who once crossed by boat, taking classes onboard during the week-long voyage, have vanished, replaced by shorter, faster, more individualised semesters. Cell phones keep students tethered to home, the humanities are quietly retreating, and AI is reshaping the classroom faster than anyone can plan for, a worry Raymond shares with University of Luxembourg Rector Jens Kreisel: nobody knows how to design a classroom for the next five years. What endures is the 13,000-strong alumni network that funds, mentors and champions the centre, and a successor, Stephanie, ready to carry it forward. Retirement, Lisa suggested, need not mean stopping, and Raymond half-promised a draft course on school administration by this time next year. After 24 years of planting a quiet flag for MUDEC, few would bet against him.

NOW THE MAJOR MOTION PICTURE NUREMBERG STARRING RUSSELL CROWE AND RAMI MALEKIn 1945, an improbable relationship between the fallen Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goering, and ambitious US Army physician, Douglas Kelley, becomes a hazardous quest into the nature of evil“The book is a page turner.”—NPRA New York Times BestsllerIn 1945, after his capture at the end of the Second World War, Hermann Göring arrived at an American-run detention center in war-torn Luxembourg, accompanied by sixteen suitcases and a red hatbox. Joining him in the detention center were fifty-one senior Nazis, of whom Göring was the dominant figure. To ensure that the captives were fit for trial at Nuremberg, the US army sent an ambitious army psychiatrist, Captain Douglas M. Kelley, to supervise and evaluate them. To Kelley, it was the professional opportunity of a lifetime: to discover a distinguishing trait among these arch-criminals that would mark them as psychologically different from the rest of humanity. But Kelley's quest would prove to be a dangerous one. The more he spoke with the Nazi captives, the more he began to understand and appreciate their perspective—and the more he would fall for their charms.https://amzn.to/4xb09VdBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

Was bedeutet es, wenn ein Staat den Wert eines Menschen an seiner Arbeit misst? Die Nationalsozialisten gaben darauf eine radikale Antwort. Arbeit war für sie kein Mittel zum Leben, sondern Pflicht gegenüber der „Volksgemeinschaft" — und wer nicht „nützlich" war, galt als Ballast.

(3) Timothy Ryback explains how, following Hitler's refusal to join a coalition, the Nazis adopt a strategy of "obstructionist politics" to paralyze the Reichstag. With 230 seats, they create a legislative gridlock, preventing any laws from passing and forcing Hindenburg to rule by emergency decree. Joseph Goebbels famously remarks that democracy provides its mortal enemies with the tools for its own destruction. Meanwhile, Hermann Göring serves as Reichstagpresident, utilizing his status as a war hero and social elite to bridge the gap between Hitler's movement and Berlin's high society while working to dismantle the democratic system.1940 BERLIN

Hollywood entdeckt Nürnberg: Der Film „Nuremberg“ (2026) bringt die historischen Prozesse auf die große Leinwand. Doch wie viel Geschichte steckt wirklich hinter dem Kinostoff zwischen dem Psychiater Douglas Kelly und Hermann Göring – und warum sind die Nürnberger Prozesse bis heute so relevant für das Völkerrecht? In dieser Folge von „Bratwurst mit Chili“ sprechen Michael Husarek und Lukas G. Schlapp mit Prof. Dr. Christoph Safferling, Professor für Strafrecht, Strafprozessrecht, internationales Strafrecht und Völkerrecht an der FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg sowie Direktor der Internationalen Akademie Nürnberger Prinzipien. Im Gespräch geht es um die juristische Bedeutung der Prozesse, ihre Wirkung bis in die Gegenwart – und darum, wie sich Geschichte überhaupt filmisch erzählen lässt. Außerdem blicken wir auf aktuelle Themen: den Angriff auf den Iran, die Rolle des Internationalen Strafgerichtshofs in Den Haag und – abseits von Völkerrecht – den Eurovision Song Contest.

Var kom den svenske poliskonstapeln ifrån och vart tog han vägen? Thomas Steinfeld är dagens essäist. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna.Om någon idag säger Bengt Berg så går kanske tankarna först och främst till den värmländske poeten. Men under första halvan av 1900-talet fanns en Bengt Berg hemmahörande i Hallstorp utanför Kalmar samt senare också på godset Eriksberg i Blekinge – som var en internationell berömdhet. Han var författare, fotograf och filmare och ägnade sitt liv åt att dokumentera djurens liv. Till allmän beundran kom han dem så nära som ingen annan på hans tid – havsörnen till exempel, eller träskonäbben, eller grågåsen. Störst var hans rykte i Tyskland, där han under trettio- och fyrtiotalen, vid sidan av Sven Hedin och Zara Leander, var den mest berömde svensken över huvud taget. Och liksom Hedin hyste också Bengt Berg stora och stadiga sympatier för den tyska fascismen. Så täta blev förbindelserna till ledande nationalsocialister som Heinrich Himmler och Hermann Göring att Säkerhetspolisen i november 1939 satte fågelskådaren under bevakning. Det finns en akt om Bengt Berg i Riksarkivet, där vissa delar är sekretessbelagda. I de omaskade passagerna blir man upplyst om att Säkerhetspolisen registrerade hans brev och telefonsamtal, särskilt de som kom från utlandet. Dessutom fick en poliskonstapel från Kalmar i uppdrag att hålla ett öga på den misstänkte, även om konstapeln meddelade att han ”personligen kände Berg och var övertygad om att denne ej hade något politiskt fuffens för sig”. Men Konstapeln hörde sig för bland folk i närheten av doktor Berg. Och visserligen fick han höra intressanta saker: Berg hade frågat de lokala fiskarna om vattendjupet i skärgården, han hade samlat uppgifter om kustbefästningarnas styrka, han hade lärt sig om kanonernas kaliber. Under ”fågelskyddets täckmantel”, som det heter i akten, hade han agerat som en spion som skulle förbereda en tysk landstigning i Blekinge. Konstapeln antecknade. Men som framgår i säkerhetspolisens akt var han inte främst intresserad av det militära. Polismannen följde den misstänktes utomäktenskapliga äventyr. Nyfikenheten gällde framför allt en kvinna från arbetsförmedlingen i Kalmar, ägarinnan till en pälskappa som hon enligt konstapeln knappast hade råd med. Yrket konstapel har en lång historia. Det finns redan i den romerska antiken, som comes stabuli, officeraren som höll uppsikt över hästarna. Sedan dess spökar han runt i historien, fram till att han – först i England, sedan också i andra europeiska länder – blev en polisman, oftast av lägre grad. Som sådan är han en figur från en övergångstid. Han uppstår med den liberala rättsstatens utveckling, och han försvinner i samma tid som yrket blir en statlig tjänst. En polisman ingår i en nationell myndighet; en konstapel däremot var en medborgare som bland annat utförde vissa statliga uppgifter. Framför allt på landsbygden kunde en konstapel anlitas för att driva in skatter, kontrollera främlingar eller avbryta ett slagsmål i krogen.Fram till långt in på 1800-talet arbetade en konstapel ofta bara på deltid. Och eftersom han skulle kunna gå tillbaka till sina andra uppgifter – att vara lärare, krämare eller, ofta, hemvärnsman – fick han smidigt växla från rollen som lagman till vanlig granne. Och även när yrket blev en heltidssysselsättning i början av 1900-talet, behöll konstapeln sin fasta förankring bland folket – så som konstapeln i Kalmar. Fördelen med konstapeln var att han kände till de lokala förhållandena, att han hade träffat de misstänkta redan när de var barn, att han var förtrogen med deras vanor och vägar. Nackdelen var att han inte hade råd att lämna den lokala gemenskapen för att enbart gå i lagens ärenden.Det tog alltså tid att frigöra konstapeln från resten av samhället, och eftersom det inte fanns några allmängiltiga föreställningar om vad som var ett brott, så gällde framför allt lokala normer – med följden att små illdåd som hade begåtts av fattigt eller kringdrivande folk ofta följdes av drastiska straff, medan förmögna och välkända medborgare kunde gå fria efter mycket värre förbrytelser. Också misstänksamheten måste professionaliseras, så att den kunde riktas mot var och en, utan respekt för vare sig makt eller rikedom. Därför förutsatte det nya yrket en statlig tjänst med en egen utbildning. Av samma anledning ´är det i staden som polismannen föds – inte på landsbygden.Övergången mellan den gamla, personliga ordningen till en allmän ordningsmakt med långtgående befogenheter tog mer än hundra år, fram till inrättandet av en enhetlig statlig myndighet under 1960-talet. Under mellantiden prövades många åtgärder för att jämna ut motsättningen mellan konstapelns brist på tillförlitlighet och nödvändigheten i att få kontroll över hela samhället. I Europa – framför allt i städernas mörka kvarter, där makten var svag och livet farligt – gjorde man som i Vilda västern: När en brottsling skulle gripas hängde man upp affischer med utlovade belöningar. Problemet blev förstås att angivaren, liksom förbrytaren, ofta kom från samma miljö – så att man aldrig kunde veta om belöningen gick till en ännu större bov.Polisens professionalisering medförde ett nytt problem och bevarade ett gammalt : För det första försvann, så klart, polismannens förtrogenhet med de lokala förhållandena. För det andra undkom man fortfarande inte svårigheterna att ta itu med överklassen. En rättsstat tillåter ingen olikbehandling. De flesta polismän kommer dock från en enkel bakgrund. Konstapeln kunde vika sig för makten. Den moderna polisen får i bästa fall blunda. I kriminalromanerna finns en lösning: privatdetektiven, som med största möjliga diskretion ger sig i kast med de mest komplicerade fallen. Men varken Kalmar eller Karlshamn förfogade över en kriminalitet stor nog för att livnära en professionell snok.I fallet Bengt Berg var konstapeln förmodligen den enda möjligheten att ta itu med en europeisk celebritet på landsbygden, som misstänktes vara förrädare. Som tur var gick den besvärliga situationen till slut över – genom att det ”Tredje riket” försvann. När bevakningen av Bengt Berg avslutades författade Säkerhetspolisen en sammanställning som avslutas med följande mening: ”Som slutomdöme torde kunna antagas, att Berg är (varit) tyskorienterad, men synes icke ha företagit någon illegal handling – i varje fall icke känd sådan.” Den sista meningen får man läsa långsamt. Den döljer en avgrund av möjligheter.

Die Folge beginnt mit einem kleinen sprachlichen Fehlstart: Zeljko versucht sich an Jugend-Slang ("Was geht, Brudi?"). Nachdem das geklärt ist, schüttet Timo sein Herz über seinen Rasen aus. Tipps von Garten-Experten aus der Zuhörerschaft sind hochwillkommen! Besser lief es da auf einer Nerd-Hochzeit am Wochenende, die komplett im Herr der Ringe- und Franchise-Thema (Einzugsmusik: Concerning Hobbits!) gehalten war. Danach tauchen die beiden in ihre zuletzt gesehenen Filme ein. Zeljko hat Red Rooms (2023) für ein Rewatch mit Freunden aus dem Hut gezaubert. Obwohl es kein blutiger Film ist, saß das Unbehagen bei allen Beteiligten tief – ein echter "Downer", den man sich auch beim zweiten Mal kaum entziehen kann. Timo hat sich derweil dem Animationsfilm Hoppers gewidmet. Ein junges Mädchen, das per Bewusstseinsübertragung in einen Biber-Roboter schlüpft, um einen See zu retten. Ein klassischer Pixar-Film mit Avatar-Anleihen, der gut unterhält, aber für Timo nicht an die Glanzzeiten des Studios (wie WALL-E oder Up) heranreicht. Zeljko war außerdem emotional völlig ergriffen von Aftersun. Das ruhige Drama über eine Vater-Tochter-Beziehung im Türkei-Urlaub entfaltete für ihn durch seine subtile Erzählweise und die starken schauspielerischen Leistungen (besonders von Paul Mescal) eine unglaubliche Tiefe. Timo, der den Film schon länger kennt, merkt an, dass der Film für ihn einen noch krasseren Impact gehabt hätte, wenn die unterschwellige Thematik (Depression) klarer aufgelöst worden wäre. Der Film der Woche ist das auf wahren Begebenheiten beruhende Justizdrama Nürnberg. Und hier sind sich Timo und Zeljko leider komplett einig: Der Film war eine massive Enttäuschung. Im Zentrum steht nicht der Nürnberger Prozess an sich, sondern das psychologische Duell zwischen dem US-Psychiater Douglas Kelley (Rami Malek) und Hermann Göring (Russell Crowe). Das Hauptproblem für Timo: Das gebrochene, katastrophale Deutsch von Russell Crowe und anderen Hauptdarstellern, das die Immersion völlig zerstört. Zudem ärgert er sich über historische Ungenauigkeiten. Auch Zeljko kritisiert die "Marvel-eske" Inszenierung, die dem ernsten Thema nicht gerecht wird, und empfiehlt lieber Klassiker wie Der Untergang oder Zone of Interest. Einzig positiv: Der Film hat Timo dazu animiert, sich im Anschluss noch einmal tief in die echten historischen Fakten und Originalaufnahmen der Prozesse einzuarbeiten. Eine Folge voller Alltags-Anekdoten, emotionaler Indie-Perlen und einem historischen Drama, das sein Potenzial leider völlig verschenkt hat. Also, Ohren auf und ab in die Welt von "Once Upon A Time In Cinema - Der Filmpodcast" - jeden Sonntag um 10:00 Uhr, überall wo es Podcasts gibt!

Durante doce años, la Gestapo fue el instrumento más temido del régimen nazi. Nacida en 1933 bajo el mando de Hermann Göring y más tarde controlada por Heinrich Himmler, la policía secreta del Estado se convirtió en la columna vertebral del terror. Su objetivo era claro: eliminar cualquier forma de oposición al Tercer Reich. No había leyes, ni juicios, ni derechos. Bastaba una sospecha o una denuncia anónima para desaparecer en la oscuridad de un interrogatorio o un campo de concentración. El poder de la Gestapo no se basaba solo en su brutalidad, sino en su capacidad para infiltrarse en cada rincón de la vida alemana. Funcionarios, vecinos e incluso familiares se convertían en informantes, creando una atmósfera de desconfianza total. El miedo era su mayor arma. La gente aprendió a callar, a no mirar demasiado, a no preguntar nunca. Así se mantuvo el control de millones de personas sin necesidad de ejércitos en las calles: bastaba la sensación constante de ser observado. Con el paso de los años, la Gestapo extendió su influencia más allá de las fronteras de Alemania. En los territorios ocupados, organizó deportaciones masivas, persiguió a la resistencia y coordinó con las SS la identificación de judíos y opositores. Su burocracia del horror funcionaba con precisión alemana: fichas, listas, informes y trenes. Todo un sistema diseñado para borrar vidas en nombre de la obediencia y la eficiencia. Cuando el Reich se derrumbó en 1945, muchos agentes de la Gestapo intentaron desaparecer entre la población. Algunos fueron juzgados, otros escaparon. Pero su legado no se desvaneció. La Gestapo no solo dominó Alemania durante doce años; moldeó la mente de toda una nación, demostrando que el miedo, cuando se institucionaliza, puede ser más poderoso que cualquier ejército.

fWotD Episode 3277: Bombing of Obersalzberg Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Saturday, 25 April 2026, is Bombing of Obersalzberg.The bombing of Obersalzberg was an air raid carried out by the Royal Air Force's Bomber Command on 25 April 1945 during the last days of World War II in Europe. The operation targeted Obersalzberg, a complex of residences and bunkers in Bavaria which had been built for Adolf Hitler and other key members of Nazi Germany's leadership. Many buildings in the complex were destroyed, though Hitler's residence and the bunker network were only slightly damaged. Two Allied bombers were shot down with the loss of four airmen, and 31 Germans were killed.Historians have identified several motives for the attack on Obersalzberg. These include supporting Allied ground forces, demonstrating the effectiveness of the British heavy bomber force, convincing die-hard Germans that the war was lost and obscuring the memory of pre-war appeasement policies. The attack was conducted by a large force of 359 heavy bombers in an attempt to destroy the bunkers located below Obersalzberg, from which the Allies feared that senior members of the German government would command an Alpine Fortress. After difficulties locating and marking the targets were overcome, the bombers attacked in two waves. The approximately 3,000 people at Obersalzberg sheltered in bunkers, and the nearby town of Berchtesgaden was undamaged. Hitler was in Berlin at the time of the attack and Hermann Göring, the only senior Nazi at Obersalzberg, survived.While the raid on Obersalzberg was celebrated at the time, it is little remembered today. Most of the Allied personnel involved in the operation took satisfaction from attacking Hitler's residence, and it received extensive media coverage. As the Alpine Fortress proved to be a myth, most post-war histories made little mention of the operation.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:14 UTC on Saturday, 25 April 2026.For the full current version of the article, see Bombing of Obersalzberg on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Ivy.
Send us Fan MailDear LIsteners,I am providing some exciting news about three upcoming episodes that will all be available by the end of May. 1) Talking with author Jennifer Dasal about her recently published book - The Club - which details the "hidden history" of a women's art club that provided lodging and support for women artists coming to Paris from America during the Belle Epoque period. This "club" allowed them career opportunities and an ability to challenge the "male-dominiated" art world. 2) A fascinating discussion with author, Jack El-Hai, who wrote The Nazi and the Psychiatrist. This book was an indepth study of army psychiatrist, Dr. Douglas Kelley and his numerous interviews with Hermann Göring leading up to the Nuremberg trials. This book was also the basis of the movie, Nuremberg from 2025. 3) This episode will detail the "behind the scenes" life of Marilyn Monroe, during the filming of Some Like it Hot. Author Lucy Jane Santos will share some of the "hidden in history" aspects of the film and some recent found materials about Marilyn Monroe. Also a reminder that this series now has 34 full length episodes and has almost 10,000 downloads! Please do review all of them - that cover four centuries of "hidden history" and fascinating people.And finally - please do checkout my book, The Miniature Painter Revealed, the biography of Gilded Age artist, Amalia Kussner. Details can be found at my website, link here, or www.kathleenlangone.com.Enjoy!!
What kind of person helps build a regime like the Third Reich? A monster? A madman? Or something far more unsettling? Michael Shermer sits down with author Jack El-Hai to talk about the true story behind Nuremberg. At the center is Dr. Douglas Kelley, the American psychiatrist assigned to evaluate the top Nazi defendants after World War II, including Hermann Göring. What he found was not comforting: many of these men were intelligent, ambitious, psychologically functional, and disturbingly normal. This conversation gets into the strange duel between Kelley and Göring, the psychological testing at Nuremberg, the limits of psychiatry, the difference between leaders and followers, and the question that still won't go away: how do power-hungry people rise and do evil, and why do so many others go along with them? Jack El-Hai is an author and journalist whose work has appeared in The Atlantic, Smithsonian, GQ, Wired, Scientific American, and Discover. His books, including The Lobotomist, The Lost Brothers, and Face in the Mirror, have been translated into twenty languages. He lectures widely on writing and medical history. His book The Nazi and the Psychiatrist was recently adapted into the feature film Nuremberg, starring Russell Crowe and Rami Malek.
This episode dives into history with best-selling author Jack El-Hai to follow psychiatrist Douglas Kelley from wartime trauma work to the Nuremberg prison cells where he tested infamous Nazi defendants and walked away with a conclusion that still chills. Our hosts wrestle with what it means to stop believing in “monsters,” how propaganda exploits ordinary minds, and what Kelley thought democracies must do to resist authoritarianism.The most unsettling Nuremberg detail that is shared isn't a single document or confession. It's the possibility that the architects of mass violence can look psychologically ordinary when you put them under the lens of clinical testing. That's where our conversation with El-Hai begins, as we dig into his book The Nazi and the Psychiatrist. Douglas Kelley arrives after World War II as a U.S. Army psychiatrist tasked with a narrow forensic job: determine whether the top Nazi defendants are mentally fit to stand trial. But he can't stop there. Using interviews and tools like the Rorschach, he quietly chases a bigger question in forensic psychiatry and psychology: is there a shared mental illness that explains crimes on this scale? His conclusion flips the comforting story many of us want to tell, and forces a harder look at motivation, opportunism, loyalty, and the ways propaganda and authoritarian movements press upon normal human weaknesses. We also discuss Kelley's volatile rapport with Hermann Göring, a master manipulator who draws Kelley into long conversations and even convinces him to pass letters to his family. From there, the conversation widens into the present: mental health stigma, why “evil” can be a trap word, and Kelley's post-Nuremberg warnings about civic vulnerability, critical thinking education, and voting access. We end with the troubling echo between Göring's cyanide suicide and Kelley's own death, and what that says about control, identity, and despair.

Why would a psychiatrist connect with one of history's most notorious figures? In this post, we delve into the remarkable story of Dr. Douglas M. Kelley and his interactions with Hermann Göring during the Nuremberg trials.

fWotD Episode 3252: 1937 tour of Germany by the Duke and Duchess of Windsor Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Tuesday, 31 March 2026, is 1937 tour of Germany by the Duke and Duchess of Windsor.Prince Edward, Duke of Windsor, and Wallis, Duchess of Windsor, visited Nazi Germany in October 1937. Edward had abdicated the British throne in December 1936, and his brother George VI had become king. Edward had been given the title Duke of Windsor on abdication, and he married Wallis Simpson in June 1937. He appeared to have been sympathetic to Germany in this period and, that September, announced his intention to travel privately to Germany to tour factories. His interests, officially researching the social and economic conditions of the working classes, were against the backdrop of looming war in Europe. The Duke's supporters saw him as a potential peacemaker between Britain and Germany, but the British government refused to sanction such a role, opposed the tour and suspected that the Nazis would use the Duke's presence for propaganda. Prince Edward was keen for his wife, who had been rejected by the British establishment, to experience a state visit as his consort. He promised the government to keep a low profile, and the tour went ahead between 12 and 23 October 1937.The Duke and the Duchess, who were officially invited to the country by the German Labour Front, were chaperoned for much of their visit by its leader, Robert Ley. The couple visited factories, many of which were producing materiel for the rearmament effort, and the Duke inspected German troops. The Windsors were greeted by the British national anthem and Nazi salutes. They dined with high-ranking Nazis such as Joseph Goebbels, Hermann Göring, Joachim von Ribbentrop, and Albert Speer, and had tea with Adolf Hitler in Berchtesgaden. The Duke had a long private conversation with Hitler, but it is uncertain what they discussed, as the minutes of their meeting were lost during the war. The Duchess took afternoon tea with Hitler's deputy, Rudolf Hess. Hitler was sympathetic to the Windsors and treated the Duchess like royalty.The British government was unable to affect the course of events and forbade its diplomatic staff in Germany from having any high-level interaction with the Windsors. British popular opinion of the tour was muted, and most people viewed it as in poor taste and disrupting the first year of George's reign. The tour of Germany was intended to have been followed by one of the United States, but Nazi repression of working-class activists in Germany led to a wave of disapproval for the Windsors in the American labour movement, which led to the U. S. visit being cancelled. Modern historians tend to consider the 1937 tour as a reflection of both the Duke's lack of judgement and his disregard for the advice that he received.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:14 UTC on Tuesday, 31 March 2026.For the full current version of the article, see 1937 tour of Germany by the Duke and Duchess of Windsor on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Joey.
In 1945, a young American psychiatrist named Douglas M. Kelley was given an extraordinary assignment: evaluate the 22 most senior Nazis awaiting trial at Nuremberg and determine whether they were mentally fit to face justice. Among his patients was Hermann Göring, Hitler's second-in-command, who was charismatic, manipulative and utterly unrepentant.What Kelley discovered shook him to his core. Using Rorschach tests, IQ assessments and hundreds of hours of interviews, he concluded that these architects of the Holocaust were not clinically insane. They were psychologically normal: intelligent, ambitious opportunists who had made deliberate choices to pursue power at any human cost. There was no "Nazi mind." There was no psychiatric explanation that set them apart from the rest of us.It was a conclusion the post-war world didn't want to hear. And it destroyed the man who reached it.In this episode, Mat McLachlan talks to Jack El-Hai, author of The Nazi and the Psychiatrist, the book behind the 2025 film Nuremberg starring Russell Crowe and Rami Malek. Jack had unique access to Kelley's hidden personal papers: clinical notes, Rorschach results and private correspondence kept secret by the family for decades. He reveals the complex and ultimately fatal relationship between a brilliant psychiatrist and the most powerful Nazi to stand trial, and asks the question Kelley spent the rest of his short life trying to answer: if the men who built the Third Reich weren't monsters, what does that say about the rest of us?Episode Length: 40 minutesFeatures: Jack El-Hai discusses his research into Douglas Kelley's hidden archive, the psychology of the Nuremberg defendants, the Kelley-Göring relationship, the competing theories of the "Nazi mind" and why Kelley's warnings about authoritarianism went unheard until it was too late.Presenter: Mat McLachlanGuest: Jack El-HaiProducer: Jess StebnickiSail through history with Mat McLachlan!

In the latest episode of The Science of Personality, Ryne and Blake are joined by world-renowned author and journalist, Jack El-Hai, to discuss the personality of evil, with a specific focus on the personalities of authoritarians and fascists. This was the focus of his best-selling 2013 book, The Nazi and the Psychiatrist, which inspired the 2025 movie, Nuremberg, currently streaming on Netflix, which features not one, but two Academy Award winning actors. In the movie Russell Crowe plays the part of Nazi war criminal Hermann Göring and Rami Malek plays the role of Douglas Kelley, the US Army psychiatrist assigned to evaluate the personalities and mental capacities of high-ranking Nazis leading up to the Nuremberg trials. Again, this was all inspired by Jack's book which Pulitzer Prize-winning author Gilbert King describes as “a harrowing narrative that brilliantly probes the depths of evil.” So, that begs the question: What is the personality of evil?

Este documental reúne impactantes entrevistas realizadas en 1946 a altos jerarcas del Tercer Reich durante su detención previa al juicio de Núremberg. A través de sus propias palabras, los líderes nazis intentaron justificar sus acciones, minimizar su responsabilidad o desvincularse de los crímenes del régimen. Hermann Göring se presentó como un líder culto y decidido, asumiendo su papel como sucesor de Hitler, pero negó cualquier implicación en el exterminio de judíos. Aunque impulsó los primeros campos de concentración y dirigió el saqueo económico antisemita, se distanció de las atrocidades alegando ignorancia. Ernst Kaltenbrunner, jefe de la Oficina Central de Seguridad del Reich, intentó presentarse como un funcionario desinformado. Sin embargo, documentos firmados por él prueban su implicación directa en deportaciones, asesinatos masivos y la represión de opositores. Joachim von Ribbentrop, ministro de Exteriores, alegó desconocimiento sobre los crímenes del régimen y culpó a otros de las decisiones clave. Karl Dönitz, sucesor de Hitler, se mostró como un técnico naval sin vínculos políticos, aunque su papel en la continuidad del régimen fue decisivo. Todos recurrieron a justificaciones, evasivas o medias verdades. Pero los hechos, las pruebas y los testimonios en su contra fueron contundentes. La historia no los absolvió.
3. Ryback explains how the Reichstag became gridlocked after Hitler refused to join a coalition. The Nazis intentionally paralyzed legislation to break the democratic system. Hermann Göring, a distinguished war hero, served as Reichstag President, while Hitler established his headquarters at the Hotel Kaiserhof, directly facing the chancellery. (3)1933 NSDAP DEMO

In this episode of Explaining History, Nick dives into the technical and strategic realities of the Battle of Britain. Moving beyond the "few" narrative of heroic fighter pilots, we explore the structural advantages that allowed the RAF to survive the onslaught of the Luftwaffe in the summer of 1940.Drawing on Richard Overy's The Bombing War, we examine the genius of Air Chief Marshal Hugh Dowding and his integrated air defense system. How did radar, the Observer Corps, and telephone networks combine to give British pilots a critical edge? And why did the German high command consistently underestimate the resilience of Fighter Command while simultaneously asking too much of its own exhausted pilots?From the muddle-headed strategy of Hermann Göring to the sheer physical limits of aerial warfare, this episode unpacks why Hitler's plan to knock Britain out of the war was doomed from the start.Plus: Information on our upcoming Nazi Germany Masterclass in March and how to access the recordings of our previous sessions!Key Topics:The Dowding System: How radar and communication saved Britain.German Intelligence Failures: Why the Luftwaffe underestimated the RAF.Attrition: The physical and mental exhaustion of pilots on both sides.Strategic Confusion: Hitler's lack of focus and Göring's incompetence.Books Mentioned:The Bombing War by Richard OveryForgotten Armies by Christopher Bayly and Tim HarperExplaining History helps you understand the 20th Century through critical conversations and expert interviews.

In 1945, U.S. Army psychiatrist Dr. Douglas Kelley arrived at Nuremberg with an hypothesis: the 22 top Nazi defendants, including Hermann Göring, the second most powerful man of the Third Reich, must share a unique psychosis. He was looking for a "Nazi mind virus" that could explain the Holocaust. As Jack El-Hai, author of The Nazi and the Psychiatrist, of which the new film, Nuremberg, starring Russell Crowe as Göring, is based, reveals in this week's Gaslit Nation, Dr. Kelley found something far more terrifying. There was no insanity. These men were clinically "normal." They were ambitious, hardworking, Type-A opportunists: the kind you might find in any corporate boardroom today. What made them willing to destroy half the population to rule the other half? Even Hitler, Dr. Kelley concluded, wasn't a "madman" but a paranoid hypochondriac whose fear of early death rushed him into strategic failures like the invasion of the Soviet Union. This finding is a warning for us now. If Nazism isn't a disease but a human choice, it can take root anywhere. El-Hai points to the "sophisticated propaganda" and the evolution of ICE tactics in Minneapolis, where he and his family live, as modern terror of the early Gestapo. How do we bring Donald Trump, Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, and their lawless killers to justice in our own Nuremberg trials? We stop waiting for a savior. We document the abuses, we protect the vote, and as El-Hai urges, we "get in where we fit in" during this time of self-defense resistance. This essential history is a reminder that the face of evil is often disturbingly ordinary.

Hermann Göring fue una de las figuras más influyentes, poderosas y complejas del Tercer Reich. Nacido en una familia de clase alta, pasó su infancia en un castillo de Baviera que pertenecía a un médico de ascendencia judía que era amante de su madre. Eso terminó moldeando su carácter y le dio una visión del mundo a medio camino entre el romanticismo pangermánico del siglo XIX y el ferviente nacionalismo de posguerra. En la primera guerra Mundial se convirtió en uno de los primeros héroes de la aviación, pero la paz le dejó sin empleo ya que en Versalles los aliados impusieron a la Alemania disponer de fuerza aérea. Eso alimentó un profundo resentimiento hacia la República de Weimar, lo que lo llevaría a unirse al partido nazi tan pronto como en 1922. Para Hitler alguien como Göring era extremadamente útil. Era, aparte de un héroe de guerra, alguien de clase alta bien educado que tenía acceso a los salones de la alta burguesía y la aristocracia. Organizó las SA y participó en el fallido Putsch de 1923, del que consiguió salir con vida pero con dos heridas que le convirtieron en un adicto a la morfina de por vida. Con la llegada de los nazis al poder en 1933, fue acumulando cargos y dignidades, entre ellos el de presidente de Prusia, ministro del aire, ministro de economía y mariscal del Reich. Fue él quien creo la Gestapo y abrió los primeros campos de concentración. En el ámbito económico dirigió el plan cuatrienal para preparar a Alemania para la guerra. Como jefe de la Luftwaffe, cosechó algunos éxitos muy sonados en Polonia y Francia, pero fracasó estrepitosamente en la Batalla de Inglaterra y en el socorro a Stalingrado. Esto último terminó por dinamitar su prestigio. En paralelo llevaba una vida de máximo lujo en el palacete que se hizo construir a las afueras de Berlín, el Carinhall, donde reunió una ingente colección de arte, en su mayor parte fruto del expolio a las familias judías y a los países ocupados durante la guerra. Pese a que se esforzó en proyectar de cara al exterior una imagen de distinción y cierta moderación, fue él quien autorizó "Solución Final". En 1945, tras intentar suceder a Hitler cuando éste se encontraba en el búnker, fue arrestado por los aliados y juzgado en Núremberg. Allí, pese a demostrar una inteligencia excepcional y desafiar abiertamente al tribunal, fue condenado a muerte por crímenes contra la humanidad.

Hermann Göring fue una de las figuras más influyentes, poderosas y complejas del Tercer Reich. Nacido en una familia de clase alta, pasó su infancia en un castillo de Baviera que pertenecía a un médico de ascendencia judía que era amante de su madre. Eso terminó moldeando su carácter y le dio una visión del mundo a medio camino entre el romanticismo pangermánico del siglo XIX y el ferviente nacionalismo de posguerra. En la primera guerra Mundial se convirtió en uno de los primeros héroes de la aviación, pero la paz le dejó sin empleo ya que en Versalles los aliados impusieron a la Alemania disponer de fuerza aérea. Eso alimentó un profundo resentimiento hacia la República de Weimar, lo que lo llevaría a unirse al partido nazi tan pronto como en 1922. Para Hitler alguien como Göring era extremadamente útil. Era, aparte de un héroe de guerra, alguien de clase alta bien educado que tenía acceso a los salones de la alta burguesía y la aristocracia. Organizó las SA y participó en el fallido Putsch de 1923, del que consiguió salir con vida pero con dos heridas que le convirtieron en un adicto a la morfina de por vida. Con la llegada de los nazis al poder en 1933, fue acumulando cargos y dignidades, entre ellos el de presidente de Prusia, ministro del aire, ministro de economía y mariscal del Reich. Fue él quien creo la Gestapo y abrió los primeros campos de concentración. En el ámbito económico dirigió el plan cuatrienal para preparar a Alemania para la guerra. Como jefe de la Luftwaffe, cosechó algunos éxitos muy sonados en Polonia y Francia, pero fracasó estrepitosamente en la Batalla de Inglaterra y en el socorro a Stalingrado. Esto último terminó por dinamitar su prestigio. En paralelo llevaba una vida de máximo lujo en el palacete que se hizo construir a las afueras de Berlín, el Carinhall, donde reunió una ingente colección de arte, en su mayor parte fruto del expolio a las familias judías y a los países ocupados durante la guerra. Pese a que se esforzó en proyectar de cara al exterior una imagen de distinción y cierta moderación, fue él quien autorizó "Solución Final". En 1945, tras intentar suceder a Hitler cuando éste se encontraba en el búnker, fue arrestado por los aliados y juzgado en Núremberg. Allí, pese a demostrar una inteligencia excepcional y desafiar abiertamente al tribunal, fue condenado a muerte por crímenes contra la humanidad. No llegó a ser ejecutado ya que, para evitar la horca, se suicidó con cianuro horas antes de su ejecución. · Canal de Telegram: https://t.me/lacontracronica · “Contra el pesimismo”… https://amzn.to/4m1RX2R · “Hispanos.

Why did the Nazis commit their atrocities? After the end of World War II, American psychiatrist Douglas Kelley tried to answer this question at Nuremberg prison. During his time as chief psychiatrist there, Kelley examined high-ranking Nazis, including Hermann Göring, as they waited to stand trial for war crimes. Today, we're joined by Jack El-Hai, author of The Nazi and the Psychiatrist, a book about what Kelley learned from his conversations with Göring.

THE PHONY WAR AND CONTINUED CONSPIRACIES Colleague Charles Spicer. Following the outbreak of war in September 1939, the amateur spies remained active during the "Phony War," engaging with renewed efforts by the German opposition to replace the government. While the Oster Conspiracy remained a theoretical possibility, an independent assassination attempt by Georg Elser failed to kill Hitler, unrelated to the diplomatic plots. Graham Christie continued to meet with Hermann Göring, who played both sides, leading Christie to conclude that while Göring was evil, he might have been a preferable alternative for a negotiated peace. Meanwhile, Ernest Tennant risked his life on missions to Norway, and despite the bravery of these intermediaries in providing accurate information about the German threat, the British government still failed to fully grasp the scale of the danger before the invasion of France. NUMBER 13 0CT0BER 16, 1946 HANGED JULIUS STRIECHER REMAINS.
GRAHAM CHRISTIE AND THE RISE OF MILITARISM Colleague Charles Spicer. Graham Christie is introduced as a brilliant WWI air ace and engineer who, after suffering from war trauma, dedicated himself to understanding Germany and feeding intelligence to Sir Robert Vansittart, the head of the British Foreign Office. By 1935, the British protagonists were appalled by the Nuremberg Laws but chose to lobby their German contacts privately, arguing that such discrimination was bad for business. As Germany rearmed, Christie utilized his friendship with fellow aviator Hermann Göring to gather intelligence on the Luftwaffe, consistently warning London of the military buildup. Christie even provided advance warning of the Rhineland remilitarization in 1936, a moment historians view as the greatest missed opportunity to stop Hitler, had Britain not been paralyzed by pacifist sentiment. NUMBER 3 1945-46 GORING AND THE ACCUSED OF AGGRESSSIVE WAR.
THE MAP OF WAR AND THE KORDT CONNECTION Colleague Charles Spicer. In early 1938, as Sir Robert Vansittart was sidelined for the appeaser Horace Wilson, the amateur spies continued to provide highly accurate intelligence regarding Hitler's expansionist plans. Graham Christie obtained specific military details from his "friend" Hermann Göring, while Philip Conwell-Evans relied on the Kordt brothers—diplomats embedded in the Germanembassy who secretly opposed the Nazis. This network provided London with a clear map of Hitler's intentions for Austria and Czechoslovakia, and during the "May Crisis," their intelligence contributed to a rare moment of allied coordination that temporarily forced Hitler to back down, frustrating the dictator.

Graham Christie and the Specter of Militarism: Colleague Charles Spicer profiles Graham Christie, a decorated WWI aviator and engineer whose background allowed him to befriend Hermann Göring, operating as an agent for Robert Vansittart, the anti-appeasement head of the Foreign Office, forming a "private detective agency" to gather intelligence; while the British protagonists continued to engage with the Nazis after the 1935 Nuremberg Rally and the shock of the Nuremberg Laws, they were privately appalled by the regime's antisemitism yet felt compelled to maintain contact to monitor German rearmament. 1933
The Phony War: Assassination Plots and Missed Chances: Colleague Charles Spicer details efforts to remove Hitler during the "Phony War," including a plan by diplomat Eric Kordt to assassinate Hitler that was inadvertently thwarted by Georg Elser's independent bombing of the Bürgerbräukeller; Graham Christie continued meeting with Hermann Göring, revealed as an opportunist playing both sides rather than a sincere alternative to Hitler, while Tennant was exposed on a mission in Norway and forced to flee, with British leadership remaining slow to comprehend the existential threat facing the Expeditionary Force in France despite accurate intelligence. 1938

3. Gridlock and the Dissolution of the Reichstag. Timothy Ryback discusses how following Hitler's August refusal to cooperate, the Nazis actively used "obstructionist politics" to gridlock and paralyze the legislative system, using their 37% of seats to destroy democracy with its own tools. Because no laws could be passed, President Hindenburg frequently resorted to constitutional powers (Article 48) to issue orders. The President of the Reichstag at this time was Hermann Göring, a decorated WWI flying ace and one of Hitler's closest lieutenants. Göring held a high social distinction, which was far above Hitler's status in Berlin circles. The Reichstag was subsequently dissolved and a new election called. 1933 hitler leaving Hindenburg after elevation.
