S5 E9 Part 1: Chaos in Germany, 1914-1923

Jonathan Brown Season 5 Episode 9

As Germany goes to war in 1914, it has put itself on a path to destruction, a path that will end in the rise of the Nazis.
Jonathan Brown and Robert Jones talk about the state of Germany from 1914 to 1923, which became the background to the Beer Hall Putsch, the attempted Nazi coup in Munich, which is now a century old.
