The Death of Hitler

Available for over a year

Berlin, April 1945: after nearly 12 years, the "Thousand-Year Reich" is crumbling. Isolated in a bunker beneath the city, as Soviet forces close in on them, Adolf Hitler and his inner circle face the end. Today we're joined by Frank McDonough, a historian of the Third Reich. Frank unpacks for us the final days of the Nazi dictator, and debunks some of the myths around his death. Produced by James Hickmann and edited by Dougal Patmore. All music from Epidemic Sounds/All3 Media. Dan Snow's History Hit is a History Hit podcast.
