Summary

You may know something of the Hitler story. But there’s a decent chance you don’t know the half of it. We begin a deep dive into the early years of a man who became the very embodiment of evil. Peeling away Hitler’s own myths about his childhood, we explore how he emerged from obscurity. The future German Führer isn’t born in Germany. Growing up in Austria, he clashes with his father but idolises his mother. Abandoning schoolwork, young Adolf dedicates himself to the artistic life, hoping to make it as a painter. But then tragedy strikes. For ad-free listening, exclusive content and early access to new episodes, join Noiser+. Now available for Apple and Android users.

1:21.1	he still manages to make it to a waiting vehicle. He clambers in and it speeds away.
1:30.9	It's November 9, 1923, and this man has just committed treason. He knows that if he's
