There’s a reason the History Channel has produced hundreds of documentaries about Hitler but only a few about Dwight D. Eisenhower. Bad guys (and gals) are eternally fascinating. Behind the Bastards dives in past the Cliffs Notes of the worst humans in history and exposes the bizarre realities of their lives. Listeners will learn about the young adult novels that helped Hitler form his monstrous ideology, the founder of Blackwater’s insane quest to build his own Air Force, the bizarre lives of the sons and daughters of dictators and Saddam Hussein’s side career as a trashy romance novelist.
New episodes twice a week on iHeartRadio.

To Robert, Sophie, or whoever runs this RU-vid channel, the man who could have killed Hitler during World War I was Private Henry Tandey

@thomaswillard6267 Месяц назад

It should also be noted that according to his account, the date he listed was one where Hitler was in Germany and not France. Hitler only ever recollects after being informed of a painting depicting Tandey, with the anecdote being told to Chamberlain. I think it might be false. I think Tandey misidentified someone he may have seen at some point during the war, and Hitler took advantage to tell a charming anecdote to Chamberlain about how a merciful British soldiers did not kill him.

As a civil engineer, I agree 100% with this podcast, with respect to architects.

@calexico66 Месяц назад

This episode reminds me of what some trotskyists like to call about false equivalents between the far left and the far right. It's very often that people don't recognize that their shiny new world is just another murderous dystopia. People often don't seem to understand that things like: - Revolutions, purges, layoffs and anything that creates permanent instability and turnover of people in hierarchies is the right kind of environment for sociopaths, psychopaths and opportunists. - People that seek and maintain power through violence don't have any problems in killing a lot of people, and romanticizing the military or guerrillas can come at a high cost.

I am disappointed to no end. I probably will not listen to the show. I have listened to many of your episodes (H.K. No1 was the best). Not anymore it seems. Even my roommate, an anti-communist post-soviet Georgian, only says two things about Beria; That he introduced the "telltale" culture*, and that he had a tunnel to a ballerina's house. If you know Russian, I encourage you to consider *КУЛЬТПРОСВЕТ*' materials on the matter. Your title alone is a rendition of the slimy lie that L.B. had the following; A) A vat of acid (%100+, yes, literally) to dispose of bodies after they went through a brick-cutter. B) A safe, full of girl panties, that he would stuff in after going hunting on the streets of Georgia with his limo, where mothers would hide away their young children. All in all, this is a recycling of lies. If you'd believe his spouse or his meetings diary, you'd agree that he simply never had the time to do anything like that. Growing up poor as it can be, he only desired prosperity for his countrymen. Why cast a Columbus-like shadow on the phenomena that brought humanity to the last frontier? *) just imagine what kind of culture this was, tribalism-based "people of honor" covering up for each other, now praising themselves for having "glass walls". The opposite of how Germans came to be.

@ralalbatross Месяц назад

He was one of the worst people that ever lived, mate. The only reason Beria isn't used as a substitute for the phrase "you're worse than Hitler" is because Hitler was worse than Beria by a small margin. Got absolutely no idea why you're bag carrying for a guy so evil he forces superlatives in front of the word, but I'd reconsider your life choices.
