Brutal Things, Horrific Violence, and a Responsibility to the Victims

Trigger Warning: This episode discusses the Nazis and, although not graphic, we do talk about some of the violence and crimes the Nazis committed during the war. You will notice that the episode music is different from the typical episodes to this point.

Pixel Warning: Pixel decided to join us a couple of times throughout the episode and I left one or two of them in the final cut mostly because cutting the audio at that point would have required recording edited clips and it just didn't seem necessary. (Pixel's opinions are also his own and do not reflect any official stances of the US Army, the Combined Arms Center, the Department of Defense, etc. lol)

In this episode I am joined by Dr. Philip Blood, an independent historian and author of "Hitler's Bandit Hunters: The SS and the Nazi Occupation of Europe" and "Birds of Prey: Hitler's Luftwaffe, Ordinary Soldiers and the Holocaust in Poland" -- I will include links below. 

Dr. Blood and I recorded for a handful of hours the Saturday before last and so this is one episode from that recording session. I will release a second episode that talks about the Luftwaffe in Poland in 1943 as soon as I finish editing it.
