Over the last few weeks, the Trump administration has explicitly or implicitly borrowed from the Nazi tradition on social media.Specific passages or iconography from the Third Reich have been repurposed in the context of the government's own legislative program today. The adoption of these extreme symbols, dog whistles and phrases is part of a re-mainstreaming of fascist and Nazi ideas more broadly.Ali Breland, a staff writer at The Atlantic, explains why he sees it as part of an attempt to remake the U.S. from a country defined by ideas like liberty and equality, to one defined by bloodline and heritage.
THIS WEEK! We are finally on our final part of our series on The Third Reich. From the eve of Operation Barbarossa, and how Germany would attack The Soviet Union. How they would plan for their actual blieitzkrieg. To how they would iminantley fail. How were the diffrent occupational territories treated compared to the east, and the west? To the Hollocaust, the massacre of civillians, The Final days of Hitler in The Fhurer Bunker, and much, much more. This week on "Well That Aged Well", With "Erlend Hedegart".Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/well-that-aged-well. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
SEASON 2 - EPISODE 178 - Fatih Akin - Writer / Director In this extended episode of the Team Deakins Podcast, we speak with writer and director Fatih Akin (AMRUM, IN THE FADE, HEAD-ON). Born in Hamburg, Fatih wrote his first script at 18 during religion lessons, and after selling the screenplay a year later, he's been writing, directing, and producing films ever since. In addition to discussing his process as a filmmaker, we also learn what it's like to make movies within the German system. During our conversation about THE EDGE OF HEAVEN, Fatih reveals the extensive restructuring of the film's story in the edit, and while discussing IN THE FADE, Fatih reflects on the events that led to casting Diane Kruger in the film's lead role. Fatih's latest film, AMRUM, is based on the childhood memories of late director Hark Bohm, and we learn how Hark not only inspired Fatih to make movies in his hometown but also convinced him he was the right person to tell a story about the end of the Third Reich, set on a remote German island. Plus, Fatih reveals the influence of Bruce Lee's films and martial arts philosophy on his work. - Recommended Viewing: AMRUM, IN THE FADE, THE EDGE OF HEAVEN - This episode is sponsored by Picture Shop & Aputure
This week on Movie Mistrial, we descend into the final, chaotic days of the Third Reich as we examine Oliver Hirschbiegel's gripping historical drama, Downfall.Downfall delivers an unflinching and deeply human portrayal of a collapsing regime, anchored by Bruno Ganz's extraordinary performance as Adolf Hitler. The film's commitment to historical detail, claustrophobic atmosphere, and raw emotional intensity make it a powerful and haunting exploration of fanaticism, fear, and moral decay.While highly acclaimed, some viewers find Downfall difficult to watch—not only because of its heavy subject matter but also due to concerns that the film's intimate portrayal risks humanizing monstrous figures. Additionally, its bleak tone and extended runtime can feel overwhelming.Join us as we navigate the tension and tragedy of Downfall. Is it a necessary and masterful depiction of history—or a film whose approach stirs uncomfortable ethical debates?Connect with us and share your thoughts:Twitter: http://tiny.cc/MistrialTwitter
As European imperialism heated up in Africa in the late 1800's, King Leopold II of Belgium put into motion one of the most ambitious and villainous plans in all of European history - the theft of the entire Congo. Utilizing the work of explorer Henry Morton Stanley, European animus towards the Afro-Arab Slave Trade, the creation of dubious committees and associations, international lobbying of governments, public relations campaigns, and bogus treaties with the people of Congo, Leopold understood that "...we must be cautious, clever and quick to act. I would not expose myself to displeasing the English or letting escape a good opportunity to get some of this beautiful African cake." In 1885, the countries of Europe gave their blessing to Leopold's slice of cake at the Berlin Conference. This episode is Part 2 in a series on the Belgian Congo. It takes a look at how Leopold II of Belgium went from being a monarch of tiny Belgium to the owner of the biggest European colony in Africa. Upcoming episodes will discuss atrocities in the Congo, resistance and reform movements, and more. -Consider Supporting the Podcast!- Leave a rating or review on apple podcasts or spotify!

Walter Benjamin was a German-Jewish intellectual and philosopher associated with the Frankfurt School, who tragically died at 48 years old in 1940 as he fled the advance of the Third Reich on the French-Spanish border. Most writers and critics see Benjamin's work as fragmented, disjointed, esoteric and dispersed, with no clear narrative or cohesive philosophy. Duy Lap Nguyen, Associate Professor in World Cultures and Literatures at the University of Houston, paints a different picture of Benjamin's work. In Nguyen's revealing, latest book, Walter Benjmain and the Critique of Political Economy: A New Historical Materialism (Bloomsbury, 2024), he navigates through Benjamin's complex organon and meticulously puts together these apparently disperse philosophical threads into a cohesive whole. Nguyen argues that Benjamin's work demonstrated a holistic philosophical project, and he takes the reader through the latter's early critical engagement with anarchist praxis and Kantian thought, through to Benjamin's ‘Marxist' turn that put him in conversation with the Frankfurt School. The historical materialism of Benjamin, Nguyen carefully demonstrates, was centred on his critique of the ahistorical conceptions of time and history that were the foundation for popular, contemporaneous notions of ‘progress'. Benjamin rallied against neo-Kantians and early twentieth century social democrats alike for their adherence to the ‘infinite struggle', which posited the necessity for the continued, unachievable pursuit of the realisation of some ethical beyond, abstracted from historical conditions and forces of production, namely capitalism, that made their realisation impossible. Against these ahistorical conceptions, Benjamin's historical materialism saw modernism as a historically specific form of society, and not the eternal, fate-bound destiny that humanity was entrapped into. Duy Lap Nguyen's book offers a new insight into not only the crucial philosophy of Walter Benjamin, which demands resurrection in our historical juncture of overlapping crises and fascistic resurgence, but a richly detailed investigation into the ideas, people, and movements that surrounded Benjamin in his time. Nguyen's book, then, provides a holistic account of Benjamin's often forgotten philosophical contributions, how they were shaped, and what Benjamin can contribute to the critique of today's political economy. Elliot Dolan-Evans is a sessional lecturer in law at Monash University and RMIT. His research investigates the political economy of global capitalism, forms of international governance, and questions of war and peace. His first book, Making War Safe for Capitalism: The World Bank, IMF and the Conflict in Ukraine, is now out with Bristol University Press. Learn more about your ad choices.

A secret love. A world at war. And a queer bond Nazi history nearly erased.In 1943 Berlin, a Jewish resistance fighter and a Nazi officer's wife risk everything for a forbidden love that defied hate, ideology, and the very machinery of genocide.In honor of International Holocaust Remembrance Day we bring you an incredible true queer love story. Lilly Wust, a mother of four married to a German soldier, never expected to fall for Felice Schragenheim, a Jewish woman in hiding whose hidden resistance work put her life on the line. Through flowers, poems, and letters signed Aimée and Jaguar, their love blossomed in secret homes, cafes, and wartime streets — illuminating queer history in the darkest shadows of the Third Reich. Their story, captured in Aimée & Jaguar, reveals queer identity under persecution, the brutality of Nazi antisemitism, and the courage it took to love out loud in a world built on fear.Hosted by Jordi and Brad, Beers With Queers brings chilling crimes, queer stories, and twisted justice to light, all with a cold one in hand.Press play, grab a drink, and join us as we uncover the untold queer love that survived hate and changed history.

There are many films and documentaries about World War II and the grim reality of the Holocaust of the six million Jewish lives taken at the hands of Nazi's, and the subsequent allied victory that brought it all to an end. Or did it? The documentary "Among Neighbors," shows the lingering effects of the cruelty of the Third Reich, when even six months after the end of the war, as Jewish survivors of the death camps returned to their homes and villages, they found that life could never be the same with the neighbors with whom they once enjoyed a blissful co-existence. For seventy years one woman, who witnessed the brutal killing of five Jewish neighbors, kept her silence.... until now. On this episode of Lighthouse Faith podcast , filmmaker, writer and director Yoav Potash, talks about the making of the film, and why so little is known of these precarious days of supposed peace, which brought so little of it to so many. And how the malignancy of Hitler's hate continued to spread for years. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

In today's episode, I'm discussing some progress I've made on the Rocketeer game that I started a number of years ago. I was learning to use the program before by making a one level demo game which ended up being the precursor to the story and card game of The Rocketeer vs the Third Reich. But I'd always meant to get back to the actual video game. In the past two weeks, I had to reacquaint myself to the program, Gdevelop5, and pickup where I left off a few years ago. I discuss some of the design challenges and decisions I've been working through recently. More details can be found in this youtube video: https://youtu.be/0wvP29BKk-kOne thing I did in preparation was play replay the NES version of The Rocketeer - a very frustrating game made much better by using emulation, save states, cheat codes, and the developer's code, which gives you essentially infinite weapons and health as well as ready access to rocketfuel, which I always found in very short supply in the game. Playing the game on God mode (which made it tolerable) essentially drive home two points - 1.) sometimes difficulty does not make a great game in that it may simply discourage play rather than motivate it, and 2.) you shouldn't overly limit something's best feature (in this case, flying - that should have been easier and more prominent in the game). The cut scenes, however, were very well done, some of which you can see below: https://13thhr.wordpress.com/2026/01/19/the-thirteenth-hour-podcast-545-and-like-a-hood-ornament-88-updates-on-the-rocketeer-vs-the-third-reich-video-game-1/ More to come next week!∞∞∞∞∞∞∞Once Upon a Dream, the second Thirteenth Hour soundtrack, is now out in digital form and on CD!

From Amy:You likely know that Renee Nicole Good was killed by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, Minnesota two Wednesdays ago. ICE is occupying our state because the Supreme Court said that they could. Specifically, Brett Kavanaugh—who gave me flashbacks to a Third Reich judge* in his confirmation hearings—wrote in September that speaking Spanish was probable cause for detention.*Google the White Rose to see for yourself.And now, here we are.ICE was always going to come to Minnesota. Once again, our home state, specifically Minneapolis extending outward, is the focus of Trump's White House. But he doesn't own us. He's never won here. Our Governor Tim Walz ran against his ticket and called him weird. That's why Trump is so fixated on us, and what makes him want to control us so badly.When I say we, I mean Minnesota. I mean all of the kinds of people who love our home state and our neighbors. It's incredibly cold and beautiful here in the winter.We're here because we've chosen to be here.Hours after a friend texted me the shocking news of Renee's death, I recorded a podcast episode with my friend and colleague Terry Newby. Terry's a Twin Cities novelist, playwright, and lawyer who writes about Black history, which is American history. He'd prepared good questions on a related topic, so we carried on and acknowledged the death without sharing details we didn't yet know.We wanted to bear witness with the information we did have.Here's another thing I already knew: Being a white woman (like Renee Nicole Good) in America is not always safe, but it's not immigrants and people of color and queer folks and native people who endanger our freedoms. For many years, I've driven into Minneapolis several times a week and felt incredibly safe there.Paul Wellstone, our beloved late senator, famously said that we all do better when we all do better. Renee Good's final words wouldn't be widely heard until the following day, from the shooter's own phone: "That's fine, dude, I'm not mad at you." In return, after he filmed himself shooting her, the coward in a mask called her a f'ing bitch. Then he ran away, went into hiding, and feigned an injury; meanwhile his ICE buddies prevented medical treatment as Renee died. He's still out there.All of this is fact. You can witness it for yourself.As you can tell, I am still angry, and I am not sorry for being angry. The occupation of Minnesota continues in real time. Meanwhile, I've let myself be a witness, making relevant notes to self. Because I know that my books have revealed themselves in good time. Tiny Altars, published in 2023, provides relevant prologue to what's happening right now.Ten years ago, on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, I walked away from my teaching career, and I'm grateful I walked away when I did. I've been present to pay attention to what's happening in Minnesota and forge connections far beyond her borders.This moment will add up to so much more.My own experience tells me so. Both of my memoirs document everyday intersections with historical moments. In 1987, as an exchange student to West Germany with minimal German fluency, I lived on a street named after two heroes of the German resistance, siblings Sophie and Hans Scholl from the White Rose. They grew up in the Black Forest where my host family lived. I stood on both sides of the notorious Berlin Wall, built in the aftermath of World War II, and I first learned their history further in a West Berlin museum. My comprehensive journal of daily rambling notes to self from those three months helped me to write and publish German Awakening three decades after I returned home from West Germany, a country that no longer exists.Once the Berlin Wall fell in 1989 and reunified a divided people, my German literature major no longer made logical sense. Yet my path through language education was the most relevant training I can imagine to meet this moment in American history, as ICE comes down on us all.I haven't been outside much in this cold snap, unlike many brave neighbors in Minneapolis. But I know what it is to live and learn and connect using a non-native-to-me language. That's worth a lot in this moment. I'll find the work I'm called to do. I call myself a Courageous Wordsmith, along with my collaborators. We're in this together.What's the work you're called to do? How are you courageous?I am asking you to not look away from Minneapolis or Greater Minnesota. I wonder, what can you offer to center humanity in this moment? How can you raise awareness so that all of US, everywhere, can do better? You don't have to know the end at the outset.You don't have to be a martyr for the cause. But we all need you. Nothing is wasted.We start wherever we are.All the path of a real-life witness requires is that we're aware: We're willing to ask questions, listen, keep taking notes, and do something Good.

From 1885 to 1908, King Leopold II of Belgium owned the Congo as his own personal colony. What transpired there over the course of his reign has credibly been called "the vilest scramble for loot that ever disfigured the history of human conscience." Forced labor, slavery, disease, destruction, and destabliziation led to millions of deaths in one of the lesser known mass trauma events in human history. This is the story of the Congo Free State in Central Africa. This episode is Part 1 in a series on the Belgian Congo. It takes a look at the origins of humanity in Africa, the Congo as a geographic and human region, the Congo River, the development of agriculture, slavery, and society in the Congo before European arrival, the Indian Ocean Slave Trade vs. the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade, the arrival of the Portuguese in the Congo, the motivations for African Imperialism, the intensification of the slave trade as a result of European arrival, the resulting disruption and destabilization, and more. Future episodes will discuss Leopold's acquisition of the Congo as a colony, the resulting atrocities, resistance and reform movements, and the full story of the Congo Free State. -Consider Supporting the Podcast!- Leave a rating or review on apple podcasts or spotify!

And, especially, how can one minister to the Wehrmacht, itself an instrument of the Nazi state while professing to adhere to Christian morality? These are the questions that Doris Bergen deals with in her book on German military chaplains.In this episode, we talk about the Nazi relationship with churches in Germany as well as about the ways in which German military chaplains became complicit in the crimes of the Third Reich.

The Nazi obsession with creating a pure Aryan race was not just a political ideology; it became a twisted scientific mission. Entrusted with this dark purpose, German physicians abandoned their ethics to perform monstrous experiments on children, the disabled, and prisoners of war, all in a depraved attempt to engineer their vision of humanity.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Enriched by extraordinary first-hand accounts, this is a fascinating history of the dying days of the Third Reich as Stalin sought to consolidate his own empire.In January 1945, the Red Army launched a powerful offensive across the Vistula River to drive the Wehrmacht out of Poland, with the intention of securing a start line for an operation that would ultimately result in the capture of Berlin and the end of the war. But, as Prit Buttar expertly reveals, there were other issues at play. Stalin was determined to push the boundaries of the Soviet Union further west, restoring land lost by the tsars and securing vast industrial and mineral wealth. While negotiations took place between the Allied powers regarding the fate of Poland, the Red Army burst through the German lines, liberating Auschwitz even as the SS drove concentration camp inmates onto frozen roads in a series of death marches.The Wehrmacht staged a desperate fight back with their last major armoured offensive on the Eastern Front. Launched in February 1945 from the German-Polish border, it forced a halt to the Soviet forces on the banks of the Oder before the rush to Berlin. Written by an acknowledged expert on the Eastern Front and packed with first-hand accounts, this is the definitive account of the strategic goals, both military and political, of Stalin, his generals, and their armies as they raced into the Reich, and of the German forces who stood in the way.Prit Buttar studied medicine at Oxford and London before joining the British Army as a doctor. After leaving the army, he worked as a GP. He is extensively involved in medical politics, both at local and national level. An established expert on the Eastern Front in 20th-century military history, his previous books include the critically acclaimed two-volume series on the siege of Leningrad: To Besiege A City (Osprey 2023) and Hero City (Osprey 2024). He now lives in Kirkcudbright in Scotland.#speakingofwriterspodcast #authorpodcast #worldwar2 #germany #thirdreich
Het jaar eindigt, de winterkou slaat toe. Alle reden voor de jaarlijkse Winterboekenspecial! Jaap Jansen en PG Kroeger nemen je mee naar het jaar 750 in Aken en Bagdad, naar Londen in 1940, het jacht van Onassis in 1958, het Wenen van 1740, Nederland in het Europa van 1920, Oberstdorf in Beieren in 1933 en decennia van dissonanten in het Concertgebouw in Amsterdam. *** Deze aflevering is mede mogelijk gemaakt met donaties van luisteraars die we hiervoor hartelijk danken. Word ook vriend van de show! Heb je belangstelling om in onze podcast te adverteren of ons te sponsoren? Zend ons een mailtje en wij zoeken contact. *** Eerste boek: 'Hoe de wereld veranderde rond het jaar 750' van Herman Kaptein (Walburg Pers, 293 p.) Een fascinerende vergelijkende historie van mondiale veranderingen in economie, cultuur, governance en technologie in de periode die wij in Europa 'de Karolingische renaissance' noemen. Maar de schrijver ziet analoge ontwikkelingen elders in de wereld, van het Midden-Oosten tot India, de Zijderoute en China. Cruciaal was het opbloeien van een schriftcultuur die grote invloed uitoefende op de wijze waarop de heersers van de toen opkomende imperia konden regeren. Wetgeving, documentatie van besluiten en regels, communicatie, rechtspraak en sociale en religieuze ordening werden rationele gemaakt door deze vast te leggen in formele geschriften. Het feit dat met de katholieke kerk en de Islam grote, gemeenschappelijke normenstelsels over de nieuwe imperia werden gespreid versterkte deze ontwikkeling nadrukkelijk. Karel de Grote beschikte door zijn steun aan de kloosterordes over een grote groep geletterde, multinationale adviseurs en bewindslieden die bovendien in heel zijn rijk in dezelfde taal met elkaar konden communiceren en discussiëren: het Latijn. In Bagdad gebeurde hetzelfde, maar vanuit de gemeenschappelijkheid van de Islam en de rol van de wetenschappers die daar bijeen kwamen uit heel de Levant, maar in het bijzonder ook vanuit Perzïë en India. Door hen werden wiskunde en astronomie op het hoogste niveau beoefend. Onze 'Arabische getallen' hebben via Bagdad hun oorsprong in het India van die jaren. Tweede boek: 'When Lions Roar' van Thomas Maier (Crown, 784 p.) Ook dit boek gaat over dynastieën op meerdere continenten. De families Churchill en Kennedy konden nauwelijks meer van elkaar verschillen in achtergrond, politieke opvattingen en familiegeschiedenis, maar werden als magneten tot elkaar aangetrokken. Conflicten, politieke heibel, spionage, zakelijke deals, vriendschappen en liefdesaffaires vullen dit boek over die 'brullende leeuwen'. En als derde hoofdpersoon op de achtergrond speelt president Franklin D. Roosevelt een cruciale rol. Verrassende figuren komen in het boek naar voren, zoals Pamela Digby die van geliefde schoondochter van Churchill uiteindelijk via allerlei affaires en huwelijken een van de invloedrijkste politieke fundraisers werd voor de Democraten in Amerika. Haar 'ontdekking' was Bill Clinton. En de Griekse reder Aristoteles Onassis was een vriend en reisgenoot van de oude Winston Churchill en op zijn jacht reisde niet alleen Maria Callas mee, maar ook het jonge echtpaar JFK en Jackie. Later zou zij hem trouwen. Derde boek: 'Maria Theresa - Empress' van Richard Bassett (Yale University Press, 520 p.) Nog een dynastie en persoonlijkheid van de buitencategorie. De Habsburgse keizerin Maria Theresa - zij regeerde van 1740 tot 1780 - was een van de machtigste en boeiendste vrouwen van haar tijd. Zij moest als 23-jarige letterlijk vechten om haar vader te kunnen opvolgen en zijn erflanden te regeren. Daartoe behoorden Oostenrijk, Hongarije, grote delen van de Balkan, Bohemen, Moravië en Silezië, grote delen van Noord-Italië en het huidige België. Maria Theresa overleefde die strijd met panache en werd een belangrijk hervormer van het bestuur, de wetgeving, economie en financiën en zeer in het bijzonder het onderwijs aan haar onderdanen. Een van haar opvallendste eigenschappen was haar bijna onfeilbaar oog voor talent. En daarbij was zij allesbehalve eenkennig. Zelfs een Hongaarse wees die haar als roeier opviel, protegeerde zij en liet hem zijn talenten ontdekken, waardoor hij een van haar belangrijkste raadsheren werd. Haar politieke gevoel deed haar aan het eind van haar leven grote zorgen hebben over de Amerikaanse revolutie tegen koning George III. Indringend waarschuwde zij haar dochter Marie Antoinette voor wat zij in Frankrijk zag opdoemen. Had zij maar beter naar haar moeder geluisterd. Vierde boek: 'De Groote Vrede' van Wim de Wagt (Boom, 446 p.) Na de val van dynastieën als de Habsburgers en Romanovs werd Europa in Versailles geheel heringedeeld. Dit leidde tot grote onrust over de toekomst van die nieuwe staten en hun oudere buren. Dat werd de bron van een golf van idealisme om in die toekomst een verenigd Europa te laten ontstaan. Juist vanuit het neutrale Nederland werden vele impulsen daaraan gegeven. Opmerkelijk was de rol van captains of industry die zo'n eenwording als de oplossing zagen voor de economische ravage die Versailles had veroorzaakt. Hendrik Colijn was de meest gezaghebbende vanuit die kringen en werd nimmer moe wereldwijd te pleiten voor een douane-unie, afschaffing van handelstarieven en de belemmeringen van de nieuwe grenzen op het Europese continent. Een hoofdpersoon in dit boek is de Franse staatsman Aristide Briand, die vurig werkte aan verzoening met de Duitsers en een soort Interne Markt probeerde te vormen als een Jacques Delors avant la lettre. Het idealisme en de inzet werden niet beloond. Autoritaire heersers en wraakgevoelens zouden Europa nog een tweede keer verwoesten, maar na 1945 werden de lessen uit dat eerdere ideaal concreet gemaakt. Vijfde boek: 'A Village in the Third Reich' van Julia Boyd (Pegasus, 412 p.) Dat stadje is Oberstdorf in het zuiden van Beieren. Klassiek Alpendorp van boeren en burgers, behoudend, rooms en gehecht aan tradities. Maar dankzij de wintersport ook economisch, cultureel en menselijk verbonden met heel Europa, vooral de rijke toeristen. Hoe het nationaalsocialisme in die gemeenschap doordrong, de dictatuur ging overheersen en angst en wegkijken domineerden wordt in menselijke lotgevallen zichtbaar. De mensen leerden bidden "Lieber Gott, mach mich stumm, daß ich nicht in Dachau kumm.' Het stadje was niettemin ook trots op de overwinningen van zijn bergjagers in de Wehrmacht, al kostte hun alpinistische stunt in de Kaukasus hen bijna het leven, omdat Hitler woedend was. In Oberstdorf poogde men de dictatuur te overleven door elkaar waar mogelijk te beschermen, ook de joodse dorpsgenoten. Een unieke rol speelde daarbij een Nederlandse gravin, die verbonden was aan Koningin Wilhelmina. Haar kindersanatorium werd een schuilplaats voor vervolgden. Zesde boek: 'Dissonanten in het Concertgebouw' van Albert van der Schoot (Noordboek, 560 p.) Politiek en Klassieke Muziek, de luisteraars van Betrouwbare Bronnen zijn wel vertrouwd geraakt aan de innige relaties tussen die twee. Dit boek zit vol fascinerend verhalen, momenten, figuren en incidenten in die kunsttempel van onze hoofdstad. Want het gebouw wordt vaak benut voor alle mogelijke manifestaties, die ook recent nog tot heftig gedoe aanleiding gaven. Een paar voorbeelden slechts: de communistische herdenking in 1924 van Lenin bij zijn dood of het 25-jarig jubileumfeest om paus Leo XIII, de man van Rerum Novarum, in 1903 te vieren. De manifestatie voor de 70e verjaardag van Domela Nieuwenhuis in 1916 en die van de NSB in zomer 1944 om ‘trouwbetuiging aan den Führer’ te tonen na de bomaanslag op zijn leven. Ook de muziek zelf kon politieke heftige controverses opleveren. Zo weigerde het rode koor Stem des Volks in 1934 het Wilhelmus te zingen en was er een epische ruzie met Cosima Wagner die de opera 'Parsifal' van haar echtgenoot weigerde te laten uitvoeren in Amsterdam. Stalin had het niet van een vreemde toen Dmitri Sjostakovitsj' opera hem in 1936 niet beviel! *** Verder luisteren Bij boek 1 203 - Karel de Grote. https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/1f66b01c-d62a-44f3-98ba-5ef8684a81da 363 - Zomerboeken met Dan Jones over de globalisering in de Middeleeuwen https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/d834c464-00ed-45f6-9018-6ab7f8536e29 262 - India in de geschiedenis https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/8e738070-a079-4411-ab30-8546d29083fc 311 - De wereld volgens Simon Sebag Montefiore https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/caaa9aac-ea36-4633-9460-74da8adf4c2f Bij boek 2 479 - Winston Churchill.

During the mid-1930s, Germans opposed to Adolf Hitler had only a limited range of options available to them for resisting the Nazi regime. One of the most creative and successful challengers in this effort was Ernst Fraenkel, who as an attorney sought to use the law as a means of opposing Nazi oppression. In Legal Sabotage: Ernst Fraenkel in Hitler's Germany (Cambridge University Press, 2020), Douglas G. Morris describes the ways in which Frankel stood up to the Nazis and what understandings he drew from that experience. As a veteran of the First World War, Fraenkel survived the initial purge resulting from the implementation of measures designed to bar Jews from practicing law in the Third Reich. Though his legal practice suffered, Fraenkel persisted in defending people prosecuted by the Nazis, and enjoyed success in a number of cases. While the increased restrictions and growing reach of the police state ultimately forced Fraenkel to emigrate in 1938, his experiences as a lawyer played a major role in the development of the “dual state” theory of dictatorship, the only analysis of totalitarianism written from within Nazi Germany and the cornerstone of Fraenkel's contributions to the field of political science.

As a veteran of the First World War, Fraenkel survived the initial purge resulting from the implementation of measures designed to bar Jews from practicing law in the Third Reich. Though his legal practice suffered, Fraenkel persisted in defending people prosecuted by the Nazis, and enjoyed success in a number of cases. While the increased restrictions and growing reach of the police state ultimately forced Fraenkel to emigrate in 1938, his experiences as a lawyer played a major role in the development of the “dual state” theory of dictatorship, the only analysis of totalitarianism written from within Nazi Germany and the cornerstone of Fraenkel's contributions to the field of political science.

During the mid-1930s, Germans opposed to Adolf Hitler had only a limited range of options available to them for resisting the Nazi regime. One of the most creative and successful challengers in this effort was Ernst Fraenkel, who as an attorney sought to use the law as a means of opposing Nazi oppression.

FARA: From Fighting Nazi Propaganda to Modern Transparency: Colleague Kenneth P. Vogel explains that the Foreign Agents Registration Act was originally enacted in 1938 to counter Nazi propaganda in the United States before World War II; at the time, the Third Reich was paying well-connected American consultants to whitewash Hitler's image and keep the U.S. out of the war, operating without public knowledge, and Congress passed FARA to create transparency, requiring those paid by foreign principals to influence the U.S. government or media to register their activities, with the law remaining today the primary vehicle for accountability in foreign lobbying 1940 MAO
SHOW 12-8-2025 CBS EYE ON THE WORLD WITH JOHN BATCHELOR 1895 KHYBER PASS THE SHOW BEGINS IN THE DOUBTS ABOUT THE FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD OF GOVERNORS. FIRST HOUR 9-915 The DC Shooter, the Zero Units, and the Tragedy of the Afghan Withdrawal: Colleagues Husain Haqqani and Bill Roggio discuss recent violence in Washington, D.C. involving an Afghan immigrant that has drawn attention back to the chaotic U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021; the shooter, Ramanula Lakanal, was a member of the elite "Zero Units" of the Afghan National Army, a force that demanded priority evacuation for their families in exchange for providing security at the Kabul airport during the U.S. retreat, and while these units were stalwart allies against enemies like al-Qaeda and ISIS, they fought a "dirty war" and were accused of human rights violations, highlighting the broader failure of the withdrawal which occurred because political will faded across multiple administrations. 915-930 The Vetting Failure and the Lack of an Exit Strategy in Afghanistan: Colleagues Husain Haqqani and Bill Roggioexplain that the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan was exacerbated by the lack of a methodical exit strategy, unlike the British who organized their departure and evacuation lists well in advance; critics argue that the U.S. imported significant security risks by rushing the evacuation, bringing in over 100,000 Afghans without adequate vetting, and while there was a moral obligation to help those who served, experts suggest that wholesale importation of citizens from a war-torn country was not the only solution and that better vetting or resettlement in third countries should have been considered. 930-945 Martial Law in South Korea and the Shadow of the North: Colleagues Morse Tan and Gordon Chang discuss South Korea facing severe political turmoil following President Yoon's declaration of martial law, a move his supporters argue was a constitutional response to obstructionist anti-state forces; the opposition, led by figures previously sympathetic to North Korea, has been accused of attempting to paralyze the government, while accusations of "insurrection" against President Yoon are dismissed as nonsensical, with the political infighting fracturing the conservative party and leaving South Korea vulnerable to the North Korean regime in a way not seen since the Korean War. 945-1000 Japan Stands Up for Taiwan While Canada Demurs: Colleagues Charles Burton and Gordon Chang report that Japanese Prime Minister Takaichi recently declared that a Chinese invasion of Taiwan would be a "survival threatening situation" for Japan, authorizing the mobilization of self-defense forces; this statement has triggered a massive propaganda campaign from Beijing demanding a retraction, as a successful invasion of Taiwan would likely require violating Japanese sovereignty, while in contrast Canada remains reluctant to support Tokyo or criticize Beijing, hoping to secure trade benefits and diversify exports away from the U.S., leaving Japan isolated by its allies. SECOND HOUR 10-1015 The Survival of UNRWA and the Flow of Terror Finance: Colleagues Malcolm Hoenlein and Thaddeus McCotterreport that despite investigations revealing corruption and ties to terrorism, the UN has renewed the mandate for UNRWA for another three years; the organization's facilities have been used by Hamas and its schools have been implicated in radicalizing children, yet international efforts to replace it have stalled, while Hamas leadership refuses to disarm or accept international oversight, demanding a Palestinian state as a precondition for any change, with financial support for terror groups continuing to flow through networks in Europe and the Middle East. 1015-1030 Greece's "Achilles Shield" and Israel's Iron Beam Laser Defense: Colleagues Malcolm Hoenlein and Thaddeus McCotter report that Greece is undertaking a historic modernization of its armed forces, unveiling a new national defense strategy focused on long-range missiles and a modernized air defense system dubbed "Achilles Shield," allowing Greece to project power more flexibly in the Eastern Mediterranean and counter threats from Turkey; in Israel, a major defensive breakthrough is imminent with the deployment of the "Iron Beam," a laser defense system capable of intercepting threats at approximately $50 per shot, expected to rewrite the rules of air defense by effectively countering drone swarms and missiles. 1030-1045 Hezbollah's Quiet Regeneration Under Naim Qassem: Colleagues David Daoud and Bill Roggio report that since the ceasefire began, Hezbollah has received at least $2 billion from Iran and is actively rearming and regenerating its forces in Lebanon; the terror group is focusing on acquiring drone swarms and other asymmetrical weapons that are cheap to produce and difficult for Israel to counter, while Hezbollah's new leader Naim Qassem is leveraging his "bookish" and underestimated persona to lower the temperature and allow the group to rebuild without attracting the same level of scrutiny as his predecessor. 1045-1100 Fragmentation in Yemen: The Southern Transitional Council Advances: Colleagues Bridget Tumi and Bill Roggio report that the civil war in Yemen is fracturing further as the Southern Transitional Council, which advocates for southern secession, advances into eastern governorates to secure territory and combat smuggling; this move has heightened tensions within the anti-Houthi coalition, as the STC is backed by the UAE while other government factions are supported by Saudi Arabia, weakening the collective effort against the Houthis who control the capital Sanaa and maintain ambitions to conquer the entire country. THIRD HOUR 1100-1115 The Druze National Guard and Internal Strife in Southern Syria: Colleagues Ahmad Sharawi and Bill Roggio report that instability is growing in Syria's Druze-majority Suwayda province, where a newly formed "National Guard" militia has begun arresting and killing political opponents; the militia is spiritually guided by Sheikh Hikmat al-Hijri, who has consolidated power by sidelining other Druze leaders who were open to reconciliation with the Assad regime, with Turkey expressing support for the anti-Assad Druze factions against both the Syrian government and Kurdish forces, while recent violence suggests a hardening of anti-regime sentiment. 1115-1130 The "Variable Geometry" of the Muslim Brotherhood and Its Global Affiliates: Colleagues Edmund Fitton-Brown and Bill Roggio explain that the Muslim Brotherhood operates as a "mothership" for various Islamist movements, utilizing a strategy of "variable geometry" to adapt to local political environments while aiming for a global caliphate; Hamas functions as the Palestinian branch of the Brotherhood and despite being severely damaged by the war with Israel remains the dominant force in Gaza, with the Brotherhood finding state sponsorship primarily in Qatar, which provides funding and media support via Al Jazeera, and Turkey, where President Erdogan acts as a leader for the organization. 1130-1145 Ukraine Negotiations Hit a Cul-de-Sac Amidst Infiltration Tactics: Colleagues John Hardie and Bill Roggio report that peace talks regarding Ukraine are currently at a standstill, with the U.S. and Ukraine at odds over Russia's demands for territory in the Donbas versus Ukraine's need for meaningful security guarantees; while the U.S. has pressured Ukraine to concede territory, the security assurances offered are viewed skeptically by Kyiv, and Russia refuses to accept any Western military presence in Ukraine, while on the battlefield Russia employs infiltration tactics using small groups, sometimes single soldiers, to penetrate deep into Ukrainian positions. 1145-1200 The Trump Corollary: Reviving the Monroe Doctrine in Latin America: Colleague Ernesto Araújo discusses a new "Trump corollary" to the Monroe Doctrine reshaping U.S. policy in the Americas, signaling a more assertive stance against foreign influence and authoritarian regimes; this shift is evident in Venezuela, where President Maduro appears to be negotiating his exit in the face of U.S. pressure, while in Brazil the administration of Lula da Silva faces significant instability due to a massive banking scandal linking the government to money laundering and organized crime, with the new application of the Monroe Doctrine suggesting the U.S. will favor political figures aligned with its security strategy. FOURTH HOUR 12-1215 Devil's Advocates: Robert Stryk, Rudy Giuliani, and the Business of Influence: Colleague Kenneth P. Vogel discusses how in the power vacuum created by Donald Trump's arrival in Washington, unconventional lobbyists like Robert Stryk rose to prominence by marketing access to the new administration; Stryk, described as an "anti-hero" with a checkered business past, hosted a lavish event at the Hay-Adams Hotel to legitimize the regime of Joseph Kabila of the Democratic Republic of Congo, successfully delivering Rudy Giuliani as Trump's personal attorney, signaling a new informal channel for foreign diplomacy and highlighting how foreign regimes utilized large sums of money and unconventional intermediaries to seek favor. 1215-1230 The Accidental Diplomat: Robert Stryk and the New Zealand Connection: Colleague Kenneth P. Vogel explains that Robert Stryk's rise in the lobbying world was fueled by serendipity and bold bluffs, exemplified by a chance encounter with a New Zealand diplomat at a cafe; the diplomat revealed that New Zealand, having prepared for a Clinton victory, had no contacts within the incoming Trump team and could not arrange a congratulatory call between their Prime Minister and the President-elect, and Stryk, leveraging a connection to a former Trump campaign field director, provided a phone number that successfully connected the embassy to Trump's team, establishing his credibility and launching his career in high-stakes foreign lobbying. 1230-1245 Hunter Biden, Chinese Spies, and the Monetization of Political Connections: Colleague Kenneth P. Vogel reports that following his father's departure from the vice presidency, Hunter Biden faced financial pressure and sought lucrative foreign clients, leading to risky entanglements; one venture involved a corrupt Romanian real estate magnate who hired Hunter along with former FBI Director Louis Freeh and Rudy Giuliani to resolve his legal troubles, with the proposed solution involving selling land including the site of the U.S. Embassy in Romania to a Chinese state-linked fund, and Hunter Biden was aware of the nature of his associates, referring to one as the "spy chief of China." 1245-100 AM FARA: From Fighting Nazi Propaganda to Modern Transparency: Colleague Kenneth P. Vogel explains that the Foreign Agents Registration Act was originally enacted in 1938 to counter Nazi propaganda in the United States before World War II; at the time, the Third Reich was paying well-connected American consultants to whitewash Hitler's image and keep the U.S. out of the war, operating without public knowledge, and Congress passed FARA to create transparency, requiring those paid by foreign principals to influence the U.S. government or media to register their activities, with the law remaining today the primary vehicle for accountability in foreign lobbying
Commercial Interests and the Anglo-German Fellowship: Colleague Charles Spicer explores the founding of the Anglo-German Fellowship in 1935, headquartered at the Metropole Hotel, explaining that it attracted major financial and media interests such as Unilever, which sought to protect vast assets in Germany and avoid war; while the Fellowship is often viewed retrospectively as pro-Nazi, it included industrialists like Robert Bosch who despised the regime but joined to maintain influence, highlighting how business leaders utilized the Fellowship to navigate the complexities of the rising Third Reich. 1933
In the 80 years since Nazi leaders stood in the dock, how has the international community sought to deal with war criminals around the globe? For this concluding episode of our four-part series on the Nuremberg Trials, David Musgrove is joined by the lawyer and author Philippe Sands to chart the long, complex legacy of the events of 1945-46, and to consider whether those accused of war crimes in the present day might one day face international justice. ––––– GO BEYOND THE PODCAST Want to delve further into the Nuremberg trials and the fall of the Nazi regime?

Journalist and bestselling author, Jonathan Freedland, joins Simon and Matt for a natter about his latest book - 'The Traitor's Circle' They chat about his extensive research, love of history, the incredible real-life stories of bravery he discovered and put in the book and how and when he likes to write. Although this book is non-fiction, it reads like a thriller! Some of the stories in it are quite remarkable! Here's a bit more info on the book:A thrilling true story of courage, resistance and ultimately betrayal in the Third Reich, captured by internationally bestselling author and prize-winning journalist Jonathan Freedland.The Traitors Circle tells the true, but scarcely known, story of a group of secret rebels against Hitler. Drawn from Berlin high society, they include army officers, government officials, two countesses, an ambassador's widow and a former model - meeting in the shadows, whether hiding and rescuing Jews or plotting for a Germany freed from Nazi rule. One day in September 1943 they gather for a tea party - unaware that one among them is about to betray them all to the Gestapo. But who is the betrayer of a circle themselves branded 'traitors' by the cruellest regime in history?In another page-turning work of nonfiction that reads like a thriller, Jonathan Freedland, acclaimed author of The Escape Artist, sheds light on one of the most dramatic episodes of the second world war, telling a story of courage, resistance and ultimate betrayal that has deep moral resonance for our own time, and asks what kind of person it takes to risk everything and stand up to tyranny.
On Monday's Mark Levin Show, Venezuela's regime, allied with communist China, Iran, and others, is deliberately poisoning the U.S. through drugs, contributing to hundreds of thousands of American deaths, making inaction absurd. The war crime claims from Democrats, from a denied report on killing drug boat survivors, are ridiculous. This Venezuela situation is similar to the 1989 U.S. invasion of Panama via Operation Just Cause—a surprise attack without war declaration or prior congressional input due to leak fears—to oust drug lord Manuel Noriega, who partnered with Colombians to flood the U.S. with drugs, while restoring democracy and safeguarding Americans. Also, going forward, every Republican who wants our votes need to declare if they stand with or against Tucker Carlson. This isn't about Carlson, it's a litmus test for fundamental morality, ethics, principles, understanding of American history, and opposition to bigotry, racism, anti-Semitism, attacks on Christianity, excuses for the Third Reich, and revisionist narratives portraying America or Churchill as villains. There's an overlap between Marxist Islamists, and neo-fascists in condemning Judaism, Christianity, and the West, while failing to defend capitalism, free markets, the nation's founders, or its principles. Later, the book "Liberty and Tyranny," critiques the statist argument for comprehensive immigration reform, which grants illegal immigrants' rights to enter illegally and remain, access welfare benefits like education, healthcare, housing, and food stamps, vote, and be counted in the census, all under the guise that America is a nation of immigrants. Today, almost 20 years later, this remains unchanged. No, immigrants do not have a right to come to America. Finally, parents need to encourage their children to compete, take jobs, work hard, and create opportunities rather than blaming a corrupt system. Success has never come easy for previous generations, including the greatest generation that endured wars and depression. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
The Odyssey concludes with release, purification, and contradiction. A legendary bow and arrow contest sets the stage for Odysseus' rampage through the suitors who tormented his household for so long. The results of this explosion of violence and the conclusion of the story have been discussed and debated for millenia. This episode looks at books 21-24 of The Odyssey, analyzing themes of memory, purification, cycles of violence, animal instinct, fate and coincidence, and more. Homer's The Odyssey is one of the oldest and most enduring stories in all of civilization. Set in the aftermath of the legendary Trojan War, Odysseus, one of it's great heroes, has been lost at sea for decades. As he struggles to return home, the epic poem asks us important questions about history, memory, choice, kindness, leadership, violence, and much more. Even thousands of years later, The Odyssey still matters. -Consider Supporting the Podcast!- Leave a rating or review on apple podcasts or spotify!

Warning: This episode contains discussion of suicide.When the Nuremberg Trials began in November 1945, Hermann Göring was the highest-ranking Nazi to face justice for the crimes of the Third Reich. Charismatic, manipulative and unrepentant, he became the central figure of the proceedings. This episode examines Göring's performance in the courtroom and his unusual relationship with U.S. Army psychiatrist Dr Douglas Kelley, who was tasked with assessing the mental state of the Nazi defendants.For this, we're joined by Jack El-Hai, author of ‘The Nazi and the Psychiatrist'. Through their exchanges, Jack explains how Göring sought to control his legacy and what his case revealed about the psychology of power and guilt in the aftermath of war.Produced by James Hickmann and edited by Dougal Patmore.Sign up to History Hit for hundreds of hours of original documentaries, with a new release every week and ad-free podcasts.

Mark Levin joins Roger Stone in condemning Bannon's third term remarks. Donald is in deep trouble with independent voters. Most Americans oppose the demolition of the East Wing.

When Horst Wessel died in 1930, he was an obscure 22-year-old member of the SA. Within months, Joseph Goebbels had elevated him into a saint of the Third Reich, complete with a theme song that would echo through rallies, classrooms, and pogroms. This episode traces how a violent street thug became the most famous Nazi martyr — and why his name still matters in extremist circles today.

On Friday's Mark Levin Show, Qatar is the world's largest funder of terrorism, Islamism in education, and anti-American front groups and they will have an Air Force facility in America. American Air Force pilots will train Qatari pilots on F-15 jets. This is shocking. How can you reward Qatar with an Air Force facility given their role on 9/11? Will Qatar apologize for 9/11 and October 7th? Will they agree to swear off terrorism? Afterward, Rush Limbaugh was a staunch defender of Israel and Prime Minister Netanyahu. Limbaugh visited Israel multiple times, promoted it on his radio show, and would be appalled by Tucker Carlson, Steve Bannon, and others who associate with lowlifes that yearn for the Third Reich. Today Limbaugh would vocally oppose Qatar's U.S. base. Also, Virginia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Abigail Spanberger is refusing to denounce her party's Attorney General nominee Jay Jones, who sent horrific texts about murdering a Republican and his family. Democrats, including Tim Kaine and Mark Warner, protect Jones, who is dangerous. Republican candidate Winsome Earle-Sears, a Marine veteran, businesswoman, is an excellent choice, despite the media bias against her. Later, Trump has imposed 100% tariffs on China in response to its export controls on rare earth minerals, which is blackmail on China's part. China is the enemy, and their weakness is the financial sector. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
