I rewrote, re-recorded, and re-uploaded Episode 1: Treaty of Discord. The terrible original first episode will be cast into the cesspit of bad recordings of the world.
My newer version is uses excerpts from numerous sources which detail the conditions which Germany and her people faced following the disastrous Great War (we know it was World War I now) and the unjust treaty that ended it.
People are hungry and cold. The Spartacists revolt in 1919. The Freikorps take Berlin in a putsch in 1920. A nation-wide strike brings the economy to a halt forcing the conspirators to resign.
Visitors from America visit Allied-occupied Cologne. Citizens Bella Fromm and Sebastian Haffner recall the shock of the Armistice and the various revolts and insurrections which plagued the German capital for months afterwards.
The birth of the Weimar Republic is far more chaotic than we thought.
Join us and step back into history!
