- Society & Culture
During WW2, many allied air crews were shot down in Europe. Some escaped, some were captured, but many others became victims of Lynchjustiz (lynch justice). These lynchings were committed not just by Nazi officials, but civilians as well, as Nazi propaganda emphasized the air war. Author Dr. Kevin T. Hall joins us for a look at this difficult topic.
