S4E4: The Wolf's Lair: Hitler in WWII

Moving the German army into the Soviet Union could probably be described as one of the more difficult tasks of the 20th Century, or ever really. You may need to get up as early as 6am, no seriously I think at least 8am… not even 10am?! Jonny shares with us some of what he learned heading out to the Wolf’s Lair. Hitler’s WWII bunker complex and residence where he is definitely doing all the things a great leader does. Reading newspapers and getting pissed off, training the dog to do tricks. Calling Eva Braun to tell her how shit everyone else is. 

We talk about this massive complex and what it was supposed to symbolise to the German people and to Hitler himself as it became clear the very angry dog had caught it’s own tail and now has very little idea what to do with it.
