How did Hitler rise to power? Why did he hate the jews? What was the Night of Long Knives? Did Hitler invent blow-up dolls, fart during staff meetings and try to bring back Paganism? Who was the British soldier that refused to kill Hitler when he had the chance? Did der fuhrer's micro-managing lead to Germany losing the war? Where is Hitler's brain? Our well-read expert Chris "Green Ronin" Pramas guests to answer these burning questions. Gotterdammerung!

Apologies for some minor technological glitches on Skype.
