One of the world’s leading historians of modern Germany, Richard Evans joins us to share a startling new lens on Nazi Germany through the people and personalities at the heart of the regime.

Why did so many Germans take part in the crimes of Nazi Germany? How did they come to support Hitler and follow him almost to the very end? For too long, the Nazis have been presented as little more than psychopaths or criminals. Now, sharing recently unearthed evidence to strip away the myth from the faces of the Third Reich, Richard Evans joins to present a startling new portrait of the men and women who created and served Nazi Germany.

In the last twenty years our knowledge of the lives of ordinary Germans of the Nazi era has been transformed by the publication of diaries, letters and memoirs.  Offering a deeper view of the lives of Nazi perpetrators at every level of society Richard Evans will be sharing how Hitler, his inner circle and thousands of middle-ranking and low-level Nazi individuals provided the scaffolding for the regime that murdered millions and launched the most destructive war in history.

With the re-emergence of autocratic ‘strongmen’ in politics once again, understanding the coercion and psychological makeup of dictatorships to keep our democracies safe has never been more important. Join us to find out – before it’s too late.
