The Nuremberg Trials: Doomsday, Part Six

This is a story about the greatest American you've probably never heard about in the greatest political scandal you've probably never heard about. Smedley Darlington Butler - Old Gimlet Eye, The Fighting Quaker - might through his devotion to democracy have saved the US nation at a crucial moment in history. In fact, had he chosen differently the entire world we live in today might have been changed for the worse. By and with Francis Lundh 

The time for judgement is at hand. The defendants are learning their fates as the Trial of the Century is coming to and end. The Nazi leadership will learn what the international Tribunal has concluded, and Herman Göring has one last trick up his sleeve. gamechanginghistory.com By and with Francis Lundh 

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.Website: gamechanginghistory.comBy and with Francis Lundh 

The most important Nazi prisoner still alive, Hermann Göring, is about to make his final stand. A complex character, Göring will fiercely battle the American prosecutor, facing the enormous weight of evidence against him and the Third Reich. By and with Francis Lundh 

The human capacity for cruelty has rarely been more apparent as when the prosecution starts putting forward all their evidence against the 21 defendants in this first epic Nuremberg trial. This is part 3 of our series, join us as this drama is picking up pace.  Cover photo: Erwin von Lahousen in court. By and with Francis Lundh 

Things are getting real - this will be an episode about justice, suicide, drama and denial. The new world order about to be shaped through law, but if we are to have a fair trial, can we end up finding some of the top Nazi's not guilty and can the world live with that? Listen in.By and with Francis Lundh 

Welcome to the trial of the century! All the remaining top Nazis after the war are about to meet their destiny, but first they must be rounded up, hunted down and jailed. And how will they react? Will they show regret? Will they deny it all despite tons of evidence? Will they play mad? Find out in this first episode that gives us a unique look into the human psyche. By and with Francis Lundh 

It's time for a rethink on the origins of humanity - and we're doing so with a twist of Tolkien and Dungeons & Dragons. Lean back and get ready to be amazed (and perhaps a bit freaked out) By and with Francis Lundh 

We continue the journey of historical extremism towards today's MAGA movement, but we will not make this an Agatha Christie moment where we reveal the conclusion in a dramatic twist at the end: The MAGA movement is politically exteme from a historical point of view. And unless you do see yourself as such, you probably should stay away from it or vote for it. We will explore how extremism has happened in the US before, why extremist leaders are often targeted by assassins, why lying is actually working - in a different way than what you might think, and much much more. Hopefully this will not a "argh, not any more politics" episode, hopefully you will find it informative, fun and a nice listen. And in a heated climate I just want to say: I love all listeners to this podcast, and wish all of you the best By and with Francis Lundh 

Is America seeing political extremism now? We are doing a historical analyzis of how the MAGA movement fits in - listen, make up your own mind, and share this with friends or family if you think this can be useful for them.By and with Francis Lundh
