Your brothers episode just explained my relationship with my father. He also was a WWII veteran who held it all inside and only after he passed did we learn his story. Well done.
The Hitler series has become my favorite podcast series ever and that’s saying a great deal because I’m a devoted fan of the western series.
The production value is of such a high quality that you subconsciously feel yourself tightening into a ball of nerves and angst as history is unfolded from a unique and gripping perspective.
It is with unexpected delight that I welcome this current entry into the pantheon of the series thus far.
I really love this podcast. It’s been very informative and pretty thought provoking on the current situation that I believe we are dealing with world wide. The only issue I have is the use of the term far right. I know it might be petty but I just get turned off by terms like far right or far left. I think those terms are super divisive and can we really put Hitler in a box of left and right? He was his own breed of evil. Again, I really enjoy this podcast and plan on finishing it but I just find modern terminology a bit divisive.
I have read numerous books on Hitler, the Third Reich and WWII. I decided to give this Podcast a try but I was skeptical. Most of what I heard was familiar but, to my surprise, there were events that I was unaware of. For example, I did not know that, early on, Hitler considered joining arms with Russians who were fighting the communists. Both groups were right-wing and in need of additional members for increased strength. The music, sound effects, pleasant-voiced narrator and the other commentators are moving.

This story of the rise and fall of Adolf Hitler has fascinating details that my textbooks lacked, and context that illuminated many facts I already knew.
Excellently woven and researched. I am interested in modern parallels. Highly recommend.
Dripping with propaganda. Was the show written by a Jew? Ep 1. They say he wasn’t homeless and had lots of money, than 20 min later come to find out he was homeless living in a halfway house. Ep 2 they call him a cowardly draft dodger than 20 min later he volunteered for most dangerous job during ww1. If you’re a “well actually” kinda person you’re gonna love this podcast. If you want an straight unbiased recounting of Hitlers life this isn’t it.
A great podcast! But if you don’t want to wait for the 4th Season to be released the exact same content is on “Real Dictators”. It’s the exact same podcast just under a different title.
Beyond so many books and documentaries on Hitler and the Third Reich this podcast offers a more thorough, well researched and fascinating account of Hitlers story. So many details I didn’t previously know, and which give great insight into Hitlers psyche and rise to power.
One of the most intriguing podcasts I’ve ever listened to. Please don’t let “Attack on Russia be the last episode. McGann is so smooth with it. The music and sound effects help launch you into these scenes from nearly 100 years ago.( Rudolph Hess’ airplane, the Beer-haul, the sportzpalast, etc. ) The commentators and historians provide great insight into Adolf Hitler the man. His talents, his insecurities, and the violent ambitions that seat him so prominently in modern history.
Love this podcast, Mr. Mcgann is the best. However, although she is knowledgeable and probably a very nice person, Dr. Roche has to go. Her vocal fry is unlistenable. I ff through her sections.
Back to the show. Like Real Dictators, this deep dive is tremendous. If you’re like me and always wondered “yeah i know his atrocities, but HOW did he get there?’, this podcast is for you!
Hitlers control of the media, making his movement a way of life, and spinning scandalous stories in his favor sound uncannily like the tactics used in todays far-left regime. If it continues, we will most likely be under a totalitarian governments ourselves.
If you enjoy historical podcasts and Noiser’s other series such as Real Dictators, you’ll love this series. Paul McGann - the one and only 8th Doctor - does a fabulous job hosting the series and bringing us a deep dive into the rise of one of the most despicable men in history. Bravo.
