HILF: History I'd Like to F**k

HILF 62 - How to Start a War with Michael Trapani

Episode Summary

Why was Hitler knick-named 'The Carpet Muncher'? Just how many methamphetamines were The Third Reich on? This and more is discussed in detail with historian Michael Trapani who literally wrote the book on how WW2 started... and how we might just be able to prevent making it a trilogy.

Episode Notes

Maybe you think WW2 started when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor... but that was just when America got involved. 

Maybe you think WW2 started when Germany invaded Poland... but that was just when England and France had finally had enough. 

To really understand how WW2 started, historian Michael Trapani has written and produced an audio-book - HOW TO START A WAR - that is a vivid guide through the lurid and surprising events of the rise of the Third Reich. Together, Dawn and Michael highlight some of the  most hair-raising moments, while reminding the listener of how easily it could have gone differently... if only the people involved had recognized the power they had at the time.
