Andrew Nagorski, Author, "Hitlerland"

Wide ranging interview of a former Newsweek journalist who has many a tale to tell about people and journalists who visited Germany pre-war. He's met many of the famous journalists of the period. He says people didn't take Hitler seriously, thought him a lightweight, or that he was a "marvelous demagogue". Have we heard this recently? And this interview is from 2012 so they had no idea Donald Trump would be anywhere near the presidency.



Did you know Richard C. Hottelet, the famed CBS journalist, was held by the Third Reich in 1941? I sure didn't.
