Hi everybody, welcome to Ansono's history at 76 years ago this week. Adolf Hitler shot

himself in the Führer bunker beneath the streets of Berlin. Now one of our most successful

ever podcast features the brilliant academic Luke Daily Groves who has pains takingly, pains

takingly gone through all of the evidence that we have about Hitler's death and proved

that the conspiracy theories about Hitler's survival and escape to South America are absolute

nonsense. He hasn't just done that, he hasn't just written a brilliant book, he sits on

the internet like a fire watcher putting out fires when they flare up on the dry, heathery

mors of the internet. Is that metaphor working? Yes, I think so. So he puts out those fires

and he makes sure that anyone that watches dodgy YouTube films or reads dodgy articles

which clearly prove that it has found the Second World War up at right immediately. He's

a wonderful academic, he's a great contributor, it's great to have him on the podcast.

This is actually a repeat of the podcast we recorded years ago with him. It proofs so popular

that we want to get it back on this time of year and just let everyone glory in his scholarship.
