Summary
Germany 1933 is having a bit of a moment. Which made us at In Bed with the Right decide to explore that year in detail. In this series, Adrian and Moira tell the story of how Hitler seized power, what it did to society, what it felt like to live through it, and -- as always -- what role gender and sexuality played in events. We will be going month by month for these episodes, but this first installment cheats a little bit and covers January 1 to March 15.

| 0:00.0 | All opposing forces seem as if vanished from the face of the earth. |
| 0:03.6 | It is this utter collapse of power only recently present. |
| 0:06.6 | No, it's complete disappearance, just as in 1918, that I find so staggering. |
| 0:18.1 | Hello, I'm Adrian Dahl. |
| 0:19.9 | And I'm We're Redonigan. And whether we like it or not, we're in bed with the right. |
| 0:23.6 | So, Adrian, today, we are launching a new series that was your idea, and I think it's kind of brilliant. |
| 0:32.6 | Do you want to tell the listeners a bit about what we're embarking on? |
| 0:35.6 | It's a little insane, but it might make sense. We're calling it Project 1933, because right now, |
| 0:41.9 | 1933 is having a bit of a moment. Everyone is making comparisons to Germany in 1933. |
| 0:47.1 | Anyone who works on Germany gets asked about this stuff. We got asked about it in the first |
| 0:51.9 | Trump administration. We're definitely getting asked about it now. So I thought it might make sense for a podcast about conservative |
| 0:58.6 | thought and right-wing thought to really give listeners a sense of what it felt like in |
| 1:04.8 | 1933. It's a very well-documented period in history. People understood they were living through |
| 1:09.8 | history and kept |
| 1:11.1 | pretty good records and later reflected on. This was a year that many people experienced as a massive |
| 1:17.1 | break in their careers, in their biographies, and what they thought they knew about the world, |
| 1:22.5 | the same way that 2025 might feel to some Americans as a lot lot of things that you had assumed about your world |
| 1:28.6 | just turn out no longer be true. There's a wealth of information here. We're not having to dig in |
| 1:33.7 | some way. The tricky part is always to edit, to figure out what to focus on and what not. |
| 1:39.6 | Now, this might sound to some of our listeners as like, well, that's a perfectly reasonable idea. |
| 1:43.6 | Well, we're getting to the crazy part because the idea is we're going to go month by month. Now, we had that idea in March, which yeah, that's how we roll. A little late, but you know what, we're not so deep into the year that we can't catch up. Exactly. We didn't even become Chancellor until the end of January, right? That's right. January 30th. So we get a couple weeks of grace. Yeah. So just assume it's February. And we're doing February and part of March. Then we're going to do March and parts of April. And then we should be caught up. And then we're just going to go month by month by month. There's a bunch of topics I want to hit on, and there are a bunch |
| 2:19.0 | of topics that I think will emerge precisely if we go patiently, give ourselves a little bit |
