German Historical Museum

This guide to the German Historical Museum in Berlin follows a single morning in March 1943, when army officer Rudolf von Gersdorff carried two live bombs with short fuses into an exhibition of captured Soviet weapons, intending to stay pressed close to Adolf Hitler as they burned down. You'll hear how the tour Gersdorff had planned around did not go the way he expected. A listening tip: the hall this happened in is likely the one you're standing in now.
