Episode 376 - White Terror

LISTEN TO THE EPISODE

Through the 2010s, three neo-Nazi terrorists and serial killers rampaged across Germany – bombing and shooting immigrants in broad daylight, with total impunity. And despite plenty of evidence, investigators failed to join the dots time and time again. Worse still, the German government was, unknowingly, actively funding the bloodshed.

To find out why – a half century after the Holocaust – German authorities refused to believe there was any white supremacist threat, we’re joined by investigative journalist Jacob Kushner, who moved to Germany while the five-year trial of the century played out.
