The Reel Reich

This week on the Reel Reich, we are launching into Outer Space and visiting the dark side of the moon. We watched the cult classic B-movie, Iron Sky, which couldn't possibly have any history behind it, right? Wrong! We get into the real history of early German science fiction, the scientists and stargazers of the rowdy rocketeers, and the possibility of Nazis on the moon.

We're back! And this week on The Reel Reich, we are gently clearing the dust away from the history behind the movie, The Monuments Men. We discuss the Allied creation of a special department of art nerds tasked with recovering the art stolen by the Nazis and protecting historic cultural monuments from the destruction of battle. We recount their journey through pre- and post-war Europe as they recover all sorts of paintings, statues and artifacts. And we take a dive into some of those works: the Adoration of the Lamb, Michelangelo's Madonna, Da Vinci's Last Supper... Join us for this artsy ride!

We're still here! We haven't gone anywhere, we just took a couple weeks of much needed holiday time. But we're back next week with more stories -ever heard of the Monuments Men? Here's a 5-minute rant where we wish you a happy new year with our sweet mellow voices and we chat about our plans for the podcast. Stay tuned!

It's hard to be a pacifist in today's world, but it was deadly to be one under the Third Reich. On this episode of the Reel Reich, we will be telling the story of Franz Jägerstätter, an incredibly brave man who chose to make the ultimate sacrifice rather than compromise his beliefs. His life and martyrdom inspired the film A Hidden Life by Terrence Malick, which we also recommend. Join us as we recount the truth behind the saint and discuss the issues around the Catholic Church and the Nazis.

I'm sure you know all about Marlene Dietrich, Ingrid Bergman or Greta Garbo, stars of the silver screen, but have you heard of Kristina Söderbaum? On today's episode of the Reel Reich, we are discussing the "Marilyn Monroe" of Nazi Germany. We'll look at her career and complicity in the National Socialist film propaganda machine as well as the contradictions in Nazi beauty ideals compared with the glamorous goddesses of film.
