#207 – Zomeraflevering: De Cirkel van het Kwaad – Albert Speer

from Wegens Hitler · host Sjoerd de Boer & Niels van Andel

In deze zomeraflevering staat Albert Speer centraal: Hitlers favoriete architect en later minister van Bewapening. Lange tijd werd hij gezien als de ‘goede nazi’, de technocraat die afstand zou hebben gehouden van de grootste misdaden van het regime. We bespreken zijn snelle opkomst binnen de nazi-top, zijn rol in de Duitse oorlogsindustrie, zijn relatie met Hitler en de vraag of zijn zorgvuldig opgebouwde imago na de oorlog wel terecht was. Een fascinerend portret van een man die zich presenteerde als apolitieke bestuurder, maar diep verweven was met het Derde Rijk.

Paperclip: America's Nazi Scientists Amazon Studios | L.A. Times Studios It’s 1945. Hitler is defeated. America is looking to outsmart a new enemy, the Soviet Union. To advance in rocketry, aviation, and chemical weapons, America recruits scientists and engineers who fueled the war machine of another nation...Nazi Germany. Inspired by the true story behind the Emmy-eligible drama series "Hunters" from Amazon Studios, starring Al Pacino and Logan Lerman, PAPERCLIP explores how Operation Paperclip – the recruitment of Nazi Germany’s most brilliant and, in many cases, most villainous scientists to the United States after World War II – impacted some of America’s most vital, monumental, and controversial endeavors in military technology, medical research, and the space program. As our two hosts, history professor Monique Laney and actor-comedian Michael Ian Black, tackle Operation Paperclip from multiple angles – from its “pragmatic” Cold War motivations to its wide range of applications – listeners will come to understand this little-known and unbelievable mom History Unplugged Podcast History Unplugged For history lovers who listen to podcasts, History Unplugged is the most comprehensive show of its kind. It's the only show that dedicates episodes to both interviewing experts and answering questions from its audience. First, it features a call-in show where you can ask our resident historian (Scott Rank, PhD) absolutely anything (What was it like to be a Turkish sultan with four wives and twelve concubines? If you were sent back in time, how would you kill Hitler?). Second, it features long-form interviews with best-selling authors who have written about everything. Topics include gruff World War II generals who flew with airmen on bombing raids, a war horse who gained the rank of sergeant, and presidents who gave their best speeches while drunk. Dan Carlin's Hardcore History Dan Carlin In "Hardcore History" journalist and broadcaster Dan Carlin takes his "Martian", unorthodox way of thinking and applies it to the past. Was Alexander the Great as bad a person as Adolf Hitler? What would Apaches with modern weapons be like? Will our modern civilization ever fall like civilizations from past eras? This isn't academic history (and Carlin isn't a historian) but the podcast's unique blend of high drama, masterful narration and Twilight Zone-style twists has entertained millions of listeners. The Hitler File Voyage Media Peter Stormare (Fargo, Constantine) and Denis O'Hare (American Horror Story, True Blood, Michael Clayton) star in this dramatic thriller audio drama, which imagines (based on real history) a relationship between Adolf Hitler and his reluctant personal psychotherapist, which turns deadly, as the two men meet when Hitler is just an unknown corporal and are surprisingly bound together during Hitler's rise to power... and his downfall, when Dr. Dromyrk becomes determined to destroy him.... Hippocratic Oath be damned. Adapted to podcast by Desmond Fosbery. Based on the novel "The Dromyrk File" by Brandon Rolfe https://www.amazon.com/Dromyrk-File-Brandon-Rolfe/dp/1909204943
