World War Two (2018) : 9x9
Overview
Radio did not just spread Nazi propaganda — it helped make dictatorship feel normal. This episode of Death of Democracy follows the decisive first quarter of 1935: the Saar vote, Göring’s admission of the Luftwaffe, Hitler’s open defiance of Versailles, and the growing power of the Gestapo. While Nazi propaganda promised pride, unity, and national revival, civil liberties were collapsing, Jews were being isolated, and Germany was being prepared for war. How did propaganda become so effective? How did radio help turn fear, resentment, and nationalism into obedience? And how did so many people support a regime that was already dismantling the rule of law? This is the story of how radio helped kill democracy in Nazi Germany.
