Historian and Professor Peter Fritzsche lays out how an unimaginable political transformation can quickly take an authoritarian turn as it did in Germany in 1933. Adam and Professor Fritzsche discuss how the Nazi’s courted support by cultivating the electorate’s paranoia and gullibility-2 traits that are more compatible than they sound, and some might say, the same traits throughout the underbelly of the January 6th insurrection. Professor Fritzsche’s latest book, Hitler’s First 100 Days: When Germans Embraced the Third Reich, serves as the jumping off point for this eye opening discussion.
