Murica has always been a mental case of a country really

Anyone who enjoys the rest is history would enjoy āEmpireā as well. Was originally about the British Empire but it covers a bit of everything now. They have 5 or 6 episodes on pirates lately which was full of interesting bits and pieces.

Just listened to it. Very interesting. Almost impossible to miss the similarities between Hitler and you know who with the bouffant hairstyle and naturally sun kissed complexion
Real Dictators is another great example of this genre.
Have you read Travellers in the Third Reich by Lisa Boyd - audiobook is free on Spotify
THE SUNDAY TIMES TOP THREE BESTSELLER Winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize for History 2018 One of the Daily Telegraph ās Best Books of 2017 A Guardian āReadersā Choiceā Best Book of 2017 Without the benefit of hindsight, how do you interpret whatās right in front of your eyes? The events that took place in Germany between 1919 and 1945 were dramatic and terrible but there were also moments of confusion, of doubt - of hope. How easy was it to know what was actually going on, to grasp the essence of National Socialism, to remain untouched by the propaganda or predict the Holocaust? Travellers in the Third Reich is an extraordinary history of the rise of the Nazis based on fascinating first-hand accounts, drawing together a multitude of voices and stories, including students, politicians, musicians, diplomats, schoolchildren, communists, scholars, athletes, poets, journalists, fascists, artists, tourists, even celebrities like Charles Lindbergh and Samuel Beckett. Their experiences create a remarkable three-dimensional picture of Germany under Hitler - one so palpable that the reader will feel, hear, even breathe the atmosphere. These are the accidental eyewitnesses to history. Disturbing, absurd, moving, and ranging from the deeply trivial to the deeply tragic, their tales give a fresh insight into the complexities of the Third Reich, its paradoxes and its ultimate destruction.
