Episode 12: Imperialism
Imperialism is usually a boring subject in school; we learn that the Europeans came in and ransacked Africa and left it destitute. While that is mostly true, like all things in history, there is more to the story. Enjoy!

Episode 11: Nazi Drugs
What fueled the Nazi war machine of WWII? Was it radical nationalism? Antisemitism? Hatred? More like a cocktail of cocaine and amphetamines. Find out about the drugged state of the Third Reich and how the Nazi total war led to mass consumption of a newly invented drug called methamphetamine. My main source for this episode was an amazing book called Blitzed: Drugs in the Third Reich by Norman Ohler.

Episode 8: Third Reich Series, Part 1: The Rise of Nazi Germany
Sometimes, we see our leaders rising. Sometimes, it just makes sense. Sometimes, you watch it happen and think, “ha, that’ll never happen” watch as a political nobody becomes the most famous political leader of the 20th century. It's the first on our mini-series covering the Nazis and the Third Reich.
