1938 · Resource
This episode examines Nazi morality and ideology: how Nazism construed race, history and biology into an internally coherent ethical system that justified persecution and violence. Holland and Sandbrook discuss Hitler's early speeches and reading habits, Himmler's legal-racial vision, and the Nazis' appropriation of classical Greece and Rome as racial precedent.
