Watching 1. Strange Bedfellows
As World War II loomed, Germany needed Allies - or at least short term sham friendships. Germany's choice of strange bedfellows would come back to haunt them and they would pay a high price.
2. Wonder(Less) Weapons
As Germany became overstretched during WWII, Hitler and Goebels promoted Wonder Weapons as the path to ultimate victory. All they needed were designs that were simple and cost effective.
3. The Enemy Within
A God complex rarely ends well and for the Nazi's this delusion would ensure their defeat. Hitler's messianic belief that the German people were the master race, ruled the Nazi party's thinking.
4. Drugs, Delusion And Demise
This episode examines what part Hitler's almost daily injection of opioids and methamphetamine played in his murderous regime. Did his heavy drug use fuel an already delusional personality?
5. The Bitchy Inner Circle
This episode explores Hitler's inner circle and the backstabbing and betrayals that came to characterise the regime. Nepotism, corruption and fear were rife.
6. Military Blunders
Early victories in WWII gave Hitler a delusional over-confidence but when the mistakes started they came thick and fast and in the end hubris and self-interest led to ultimate defeat.
