09 - Who Financed Hitler? pt. 3, or, Giving the Game Away

Today we talk about the aftermath of the Beerhall Putsch and the new political issues the Nazis took advantage of, then we talk about Emil Kirdorf, the first German industrialist donating to the Nazis, and the TOP SECRET pamphlet he had Hitler write that gives the game away. We also talk about a specific talk Hitler gave to the Düsseldorf Industry Club that covers the same topics, and the specific promises Hitler made to German heavy industry (and kept). To round out the episode, we talk about Fritz Thyssen almost getting shot by the Reds, and how he went on to fund the Nazis. Guaranteed to make you go "ahh". w/ Vitamin C by Can
