Episode 3076: Richard J Evans On Hitler’s People & The New Popular History
We’re joined today by Sir Richard J Evans, the world’s leading historian of Nazi Germany.
He talks to us about his new book – Hitler’s People: Faces of the Third Reich – which seeks to develop understanding of the Nazi era through biographical profiles of figures from the highest to the lowest levels of the regime hierarchy.
We also talk about some recent controversies in the fast-mutating popular history space.
