    There’s a reason the History Channel has produced hundreds of documentaries about Hitler but only a few about Dwight D. Eisenhower. Bad guys (and gals) are eternally fascinating. Behind the Bastards dives in past the Cliffs Notes of the worst humans in history and exposes the bizarre realities of their lives. Listeners will learn about the young adult novels that helped Hitler form his monstrous ideology, the founder of Blackwater’s insane quest to build his own Air Force, the bizarre lives of the sons and daughters of dictators and Saddam Hussein’s side career as a trashy romance novelist.
    New episodes twice a week on iHeartRadio.

    Idk if comments here are read as much as on Iheart but I'd love for Robert to make a series on Luigi Cadorna one day. He's a very fun character who was definitely a bastard but in a rather comedic way and I think he fits the vibe of the podcast really well.
    Or to go a bit ancient Roman, a summary of Cato the Younger would be pretty hilarious too.

    Mild disagreement on one subject right at the start: not having more Hitlers isn't for a genetic reason, in my opinion. It's more so that fascists don't have an obvious person they can call Hitler's heir and rally behind.

    I don't know whether Stalin fleeing to his dacha during Operation Barbarossa was really intended as a tribute to Ivan the Terrible, but Stalin was weirdly obsessed with Ivan IV, so it's very possible. Stalin forced Sergei Eisenstein to make an epic, 3-part movie about Ivan, and had part 3 destroyed when parts 1 and 2 failed to portray Ivan as positively as Stalin wanted.

    I wonder if the reason for Beria's reforms after Stalin was because he spent the entire war (and the years after, during the nuclear bomb project) trying to make the Soviets shitty logistics run properly and from that realizing that Stalinism would only ever lead to stagnation of their industrial output.

    39:58 I can't help but note that every other conflict in human history was concluded without dropping an _atomic bomb_ on a city.

    • @Inerrant1
      @Inerrant1 Місяць тому +2

      True but also in every other conflict in human history, Japan was never successfully invaded by an outside force...
      Also, every hour and every day until they surrendered, Japan was dropping bombs on Chinese civilians and experimenting on them in death camps so heinous that they were distinguished from the Nazi camps by having *not a single survivor*. Across the whole eight year period China was at war with Japan, they lost upwards of 20 million people. That's like if Omaha Beach (D-Day) occurred every day for eight years (approx. 6800/day)
      Fuck that noise. Fuck the invading nation responsible for it. Sucks to be a 9 year old kid in Hiroshima but it sucks to be a 9 year old kid in Shanghai too.
      Hindsight is 20/20. No one knew when or under what conditions Japan would surrender. Truman didn't. I don't think even Tokyo's Big Six knew. Taking any means to end the war as swiftly as possible is, in my opinion, a service to the people currently being killed every day by the aggressing nation. Again, it sucks for that 9 year old kid in Hiroshima but he's a citizen of an attacker and I don't know many more 9 year olds in the defending nations would die every day until the war was concluded. Don't blame Truman, blame the Japanese leadership for starting the war.

      Frankly the fact it was an atomic bomb is irrelevant. A city was destroyed, and so many people were killed. That level of destruction and death, *especially* if we adjust for population numbers (it's a lot harder to kill 200k people in a bombing campaign when there isn't a single city on earth that large), is historically very common.

      Most likely Hitler was tossed into a mass grave and his body replaced with another corpse from a nearby field hospital
