    How to kill Hitler (wersja polska)

    Na trasie przejazdu Adolfa Hitlera zamachowcy umieścili pół tony materiałów wybuchowych. To z pewnością wystarczyłoby, żeby pancerny Mercedes którym jechał furher wyleciał w powietrze, a historia II wojny światowej zmieniła swój bieg. Kto 5 października stał za zamachem na Hitlera? W odcinku występują między innymi generał, który wydał rozkaz zabicia Hitlera i Anita Prażmowska, profesor London School of Economics. Seria podcastów Untold Stories from the Secret State została zrealizowana w ramach zadania publicznego współfinansowanego przez Ministerstwo Spraw Zagranicznych RP w konkursie „Dyplomacja publiczna 2020 – nowy wymiar”.
