Hitler and The German Military (Part 7)

The Cowboy Historian: World War Two Podcast

In this episode, I share the history of the Holocaust, a term used for state prosecution and mass murder by the German Nazi government between 1933 to 1945. I talk about the meaning of the term Holocaust, the state prosecution and mass murder of the Jews, the gassing to death program of the mentally ill and disabled people, the deportation of all Jews around Europe to death camps, Hitler committing suicide, the home returning of the Jews from the concentration camps and, the compensation of the Jews affected by the Holocaust. I also share some insights on The Malmedy Massacre, the battle for Berlin, Hitler ordering Goring’s arrest, Hitler saying goodbye, the discovering of Hitler’s body, the burning of Hitler’s body by gasoline, and the confirmation of Hitler’s body. Tune in to learn more about the Holocaust and the death of Adolf Hitler.
