Introduction

• 

Historian Sam Willis and urban explorer Robert Joe unravel the strangest tales of Nazi folklore.

Outline

On 10 May 1940, German soldiers pulled off one of the most astonishing military operations of World War II. Thanks to the lightning war military strategy, aka blitzkrieg, the Nazis captured Belgium’s most gigantic and impregnable fortress, Fort Eben Emael, in less than 15 minutes. Historian Sam Willis and Urban Explorer Robert Joe (RJ) investigate the truth behind the Nazi army’s victory. Behind the brilliant military tactics, Sam and RJ discover that a performance-enhancing drug called Pervitin, an earlier version of today’s crystal meth, might have been the secret weapon fuelling the Wehrmacht in their march over Europe in 1940.
