FDR vs Hitler

Leaders of the two most powerful nations fighting in the Second World War, President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Adolf Hitler, never met, or even spoke. In this episode, we explore the war of words between them, the involvement of each of their allies and when it became certain that war would break out between their two nations.
