Customer Reviews
Excellent Historical Podcast
Dan puts the effort into making a quality documentary. I am always excited when I see a new Iron Dice episode. Thank Dan!
Deeply personal and human look at German history
What Dan Arrows does here is truly unique and captivating. He describes the experiences and pain of average Germans in the interwar era while also not losing grasp of the larger picture. This podcast makes you empathize with the past and with the people of the time who who were just fighting to live their lives. It’s tragic to view these events with knowledge of what came after. As opposed to viewing the rise of Nazism as inevitable, Arrows emphasizes the people who fought against it and explains in detail what influences the Nazi’s unfortunate success.
Stick to your original vision!
We came for the German history lessons. Not your low-IQ, Blue Anon conspiracy theory takes on American politics.
Your current events perspective seems to be copy-paste direct from Reddit Democrats for Socialism. There’s nothing novel or original. If we wanted that we would turn the tv to MSNBC. For someone who has such a deep understanding of 1920s politics, it’s sad to see them rabidly repeating every bit of regime propaganda the DNC prints.
