Overview

Embark on a profound exploration of the unsettling 12 years of the Third Reich with a seasoned English-speaking historian. This experience is tailor-made for those yearning for in-depth insights into life in Hitler's Berlin, moving beyond the simplistic stereotypes. Join our two-hour 'walking discussion' that veers away from the usual tourist paths to delve into the core of everyday Nazism. Wander through a residential area, unravelling the reasons behind ordinary people's support for the Reich and delving into their beliefs. This isn't a conventional chronological account of the Nazis' rise; instead, it's a transformative journey into the underlying motivations that fueled it all. By the end, you'll gain a fresh perspective on this era, delving into what it reveals about humanity in ways you might not have considered before.
