Strange Bedfellows,

Germany had very few geopolitical allies leading into World War II. For various reasons, these alliances were doomed to fail from the outset, and Germany would ultimately pay dearly for the partnerships they forged with the Axis Powers.

Wonderless Weapons,

As German resources began to run thin as the War progressed, Hitler and Goebbels promoted Wonder Weapons as a way to pave a new path towards victory. This blind belief in technology soon became a critical drag on the Nazi war effort.

Drugs, Delusion, and Demise,

How did Hitler's heavy narcotic use play a role in his murderous regime, as well as fuel an already delusional character? Did Hitler's appetite for mind-altering substances give the Allies crucial leverage to defeat the Nazi regime?

The Bitchy Inner Circle,

Nazi leadership was ambitious, ruthless, and cutthroat. The biggest names in the Nazi hierarchy appeared to be working together from a distance, but behind the scenes it was a different story. Nepotism, corruption, and fear ran rampant.

The Enemy Within,

In pursuit of their Aryan dream, the Nazis were encumbered by an ideological war from within that would undermine their ability to succeed in World War II, and ultimately led to the deaths of millions of the world's citizens.

Military Blunders,

Early victories in World War II injected Hitler with a precipitous sense of over-confidence that was eventually tested and proven vulnerable, and as time would further reveal, his hubris and avarice ultimately led to Germany's defeat.
