Apple Podcasts5picksteveUnited States5 years ago Great podcast, but unfortunately the host's grasp of German is lacking. And I'm not speaking of accent, but some translations aren't accurate.
Podcast Addict45 years agoctr1881- Very interesting podcast about key character in German history
I am really enjoying this podcast about Hans Globke. I thought I knew a fair bit about the National Socialist era but had not heard of Globke. It’s amazing the influence he had on key Nazi laws and his influence in the new country of West Germany. Incredibly well researched.
