It's not Hitler that's a genius.
If anyone's a genius, it's Goebbels, the propaganda chief.
And it is their ability to harness...
They are the kings of messaging.
They don't have X. They don't have social media.
But they do have new technology.
And that new technology, that new approach is flooding the airwaves with their singular message, which is always the same and has been ever since the Nazis come into power. And it is using radios.
