This week, Jen takes us inside the real story behind the Nuremberg trials and the strange psychological battle happening behind the courtroom doors. As the surviving leaders of Nazi Germany await judgment, American psychiatrist Douglas Kelley becomes fascinated by one prisoner in particular: Hermann Göring.
From secret prison conversations and intelligence tests to Göring’s extraordinary attempt to seize control of the courtroom itself, we look at the men tasked with answering an impossible question: was there something psychologically different about the people capable of doing this or was the answer much more frightening?
A story about power, manipulation, evil, and what happens when the people who helped engineer a nightmare are finally forced to explain themselves.
