Episode 10. The 20th Century’s Most Popular Dictatorship with Peter Fritzsche

Dirty Moderate with Adam Epstein

Historian and Professor Peter Fritzsche lays out how an unimaginable political transformation can quickly take an authoritarian turn as it did in Germany in 1933. Adam and Professor Fritzsche discuss how the Nazi’s courted support by cultivating the electorate’s paranoia and gullibility-2 traits that are more compatible than they sound, and some might say, the same traits throughout the underbelly of the January 6th insurrection. Professor Fritzsche’s latest book, Hitler’s First 100 Days: When Germans Embraced the Third Reich, serves as the jumping off point for this eye opening discussion.

Dirty Moderate
Dirty Moderate showcases the people who cut through the nails on a chalkboard din of the modern-day American political scene. We promote rigorous analysis and lively debate with individuals on both sides of the aisle and beyond. Our host, Adam Epstein, is a Tony Award-winning former Broadway powerhouse who can go toe-to-toe with anyone on politics as he did on Trish Regan Primetime on FOX News every Thursday night in 2019 as the lone non-conservative panelist delivering his centrist perspective with grit, intellectual prowess, and undeniable charm. Past guests of the podcast like Repiblican strategist, Stuart Stevens, Congressman, Adam Kinzinger, Author, John Pavlovitz, and Correspondent, Trish Regan all range in perspective by design, and no two conversations are alike, but the one vitally important thing all of our guests have in common is they fight like hell for Democracy. • Produced by Blurry Cowboy Media • Theme Song by @brettgarrisonepstein • Subscribe to Substack at www.dirtymoderate.com • Tweet the Show: @dirty_moderate
