For one of this month’s subscriber specials, we’re looking at Ian Kershaw’s biography of Adolf Hitler; a man Ian describes as “the embodiment of modern political evil”.

We’ll trace the book through Adolf’s early family years, his wasted youth in Vienna, his public speaking and his gradual disappearance from public view as Germany’s war effort faltered and things draw to a close in a Berlin bunker.

From drinking gun oil to his brief flirtation with lederhosen - we’ll try to cover the beats you might have missed from the life of one of the most infamous men to have ever lived.

And thank you so much for being a Full Timer, we couldn’t make the show without you.
