Fritz Haarmann

from Necronomipod · host Cool Down Media

Grab a beer and join us tonight as we cover Fritz Haarmann, the Butcher of Hanover! In the chaos of post-war Germany, Haarmann worked the central train station as "Detective Haarmann," offering runaway boys a meal, a job, or a place to sleep. Between 1918 and 1924, he murdered at least 24 young men in his apartment and sold cheap black-market meat to the neighborhood. We'll get into how a man with fifteen prior convictions was left to patrol a station full of vulnerable kids, the accomplice who picked victims for their clothing, and the discovery that finally cracked it open!
