📳 NEW EPISODE 📳 Why did civilised Germany welcome Hitler’s message of hatred so fervently? @nndroid talks to historian Laurence Rees, writer of acclaimed BBC series The Nazis: A Warning From History, about his new book The #Nazi Mind. Listen linktr.ee/bunker_pod
Why did otherwise civilised Germans welcome Hitler’s message of hatred and racial supremacy so fervently? Laurence Rees wrote and produced the acclaimed BBC series The Nazis: A Warning From History as well as documentaries on Auschwitz, Stalin, the Russian Front and the Holocaust. He talks to Andrew Harrison about his new book The Nazi Mind, where he examines the psychological mechanisms that drew Germany into the horrors of the Second World War – and how those same deep compulsions are revitalising the far-right today.

🇮🇷 NEW EPISODE 🇮🇷 How did Iran go from chief exporter of chaos across the Middle East to a state of stunned weakness? @gavinesler talks to experts @paul_salem and Hagai M. Segal 🇮🇷 Listen linktr.ee/DrillPod
For decades the Islamic Republic of Iran used its ties to Hezbollah, Hamas and the Houthis in Yemen to create conflict and shore up its power in the Middle East and beyond. But in 2024 Iran’s plans and power fell apart in spectacular fashion, from Assad’s fall in Syria to Israel’s devastating attacks on its proxy groups. Once able to export chaos with impunity, Tehran is now in a state of unprecedented weakness. And it faces the return to the White House of Donald Trump, who enacted a strategy of ‘maximum pressure’ on Iran in his previous term. What does 2025 hold for Iran? Gavin Esler talks to Hagai M. Segal, New York University London professor and Middle-East advisor, and Paul Salem, vice president for international engagement and former President and CEO at the Middle East Institute.
