Beginning with a simple beer hall speech, it then weaves through characters like politicians, military leaders, and even Nazi wives over two decades. Their intertwined relationships, often ruthless and self-serving, form a complex narrative akin to a twisted soap opera. Amidst Europe’s destruction and their own atrocities, many of these lesser-known stories that are vital to understanding the larger story have been overlooked…
