The Latest "HOTP" News:
Hello everyone and welcome to my website! To the left you can find some of our recent episodes, and clicking on the images above will take you to an overview of the various series.
I’m currently working on a series of four episodes on how the Nazis built their dictatorship. You can listen to the first one on eliminating the opposition, and I should release the next one on “going beyond the law” in mid-January.
We also just released a new episode for our Patreon subscribers on the “History of the Concentration Camps,” which shows how they evolved from temporary sites of incarceration to literal hells on earth. You can also check out our other episodes on “Making Hitler, 1889-1921,” “Nazism and the Occult” or “Rise of the SS.” To sign up, click HERE.
Finally, be sure to check out our recommended reading section if you want more “history on the page.”
