Über diesen Titel

 What if the most catastrophic political takeover in modern history began not with a violent putsch, but with a backroom deal signed by desperate conservatives who believed they could control a demagogue? This episode uncovers the fatal miscalculation of January 1933, revealing it not as Hitler’s inevitable triumph, but as a cynical transaction by an old guard who handed him the keys to the state. We dissect the secret negotiations at the villa of banker Kurt von Schröder, where Franz von Papen, Hindenburg’s son Oskar, and other elites brokered the coalition that made Hitler Chancellor. The episode explores their delusional blueprint: surrounding Hitler with a cabinet of traditional conservatives, believing his radicalism would be tempered by the weight of office and their own political savvy. We trace the immediate, deliberate sabotage of their plan from the very first cabinet meeting. Listeners will gain a forensic understanding of how democratic institutions were not smashed in a single blow, but legally hollowed out by the very men sworn to protect them. This is the story of the original "deep state" error, a lesson in the fatal arrogance of believing you can harness a force of pure destruction. The old powers toasted their cleverness with champagne, not realizing they were drinking from a poisoned chalice. #BackroomDeal1933 #TheSchroederPact #ControllingHitlerMyth #HindenburgSonOskar #ConservativeBetrayal #LegalDictatorship #January1933 Hosted by Ibnul Jaif Farabi.
