We all know the story of Adolf Hitler's later career, but how many of us know about his First World War experiences? In this podcast we chart his service in the Great War from outbreak to defeat, looking at how he found a home in the army and how it shaped his future attitudes and actions. This podcast took a long time to research and write, so if you appreciate it, please leave a review, it costs you nothing and would be very helpful to me...
