Find the similarities with today's politics at your own risk ... but this is as close we get to understanding the inner workings of the defendants in the Nuremberg trial - Hans Frank, Herman Göring, Albert Speer, Ernst Kaltenbrunner, Rudolf Hess, Julius Streicher, Alfred Rosenberg - what drove them, and did they still believe in the Nazi cause towards the end of the trial? Where we are going in and really digging deep into this is at a time when the trial has lasted for a long time, and the new psychiatrist Leon Goldensohn starts his work. A jew, he interviews the top Nazis and wins their trust, an almost forgotten story in the narrative of the Nuremberg trials as his notes first got published in 2004 and is a different psychiatrist than the one portrayed in the recent Russel Crowe movie. To him some confine, others are in denial, whereas some gradually start to open up to what they have been a part of before it is time for their sentencing. This is the very core of Nuremberg.

This history podcast is made as I after retiring from journalism still miss creating content, so this is an outlet for that. Episodes are published unfrequently unfortunately, and as time allows. This is a 100% independent podcast without any marketing budgets or professional networks, so if you like the show please tell others about us and consider giving it a review of 5 stars wherever you listen, thanks - Francis.
