Part One: How Hollywood Helped The Nazis | BEHIND THE BASTARDS
Hitler was very aware of the impact movies had on him and everyone else and he believed the spoken word was the only way to push large scale societal changes. He noted that, just as people were more convinced by his speeches, movies were more convincing. In Episode 21, Robert is joined by comedian Daniel Van Kirk and they examine the influence Hitler and The Nazis had on Hollywood.

There’s a reason the History Channel has produced hundreds of documentaries about Hitler but only a few about Dwight D. Eisenhower. Bad guys (and gals) are eternally fascinating. Behind the Bastards dives in past the Cliffs Notes of the worst humans in history and exposes the bizarre realities of their lives. Listeners will learn about the young adult novels that helped Hitler form his monstrous ideology, the founder of Blackwater’s insane quest to build his own Air Force, the bizarre lives of the sons and daughters of dictators and Saddam Hussein’s side career as a trashy romance novelist.
New episodes twice a week on iHeartRadio.

Wild to see how lying about wealth to avoid taxation has gone from "cowardly thing that Jews do that weakens the country" for the Nazis to "standard operating procedure for anyone with wealth" in the modern US. Ayn Rand definitely deserves an episode, if she hasn't gotten one already.

Regarding the topic of this episode - there's a (possibly apocryphal) story about how just before the US entered the War properly the local New York Nazis found out that Timely Comics were going to publish a comic where their new hero Captain America punches Hitler in the face and went to threaten them. It took three-four men to hold Jack Kirby back from going down there to beat the sh|t out of them. Turns out he was a bit of a street fighter.

Adding to that, the Cap creators, Kirby and Joe Simon also got police protection from Mayor LaGuardia, who was a fan of comics and newspaper strips, but who also, being NYC Mayor, knew from Jewish constituents what was happening in Europe and was seeing the growth of Fascist Authoritarians in the USA. People, we REALLY need to remember that there was a lot of support for Hitler broadly in America and generally there were many who drifted into Fascist rhetoric and politics. It has happened here before and it can happen again. Vigilance friends.

re: Fatty Arbuckle. Apparently Virginia Rappe had a history of UTIs and one theory is that she got a blockage from one and that caused the rupture. This was before antibiotics so stuff like that could and did kill people. They didn't just rent a room for her, they hired a doctor to treat her as well so she was receiving medical care before they took her to the hospital. the hospital was a "women's hospital" i.e. it dealt with mostly gynaecology and obstetrics rather than other medical issues, but honestly that probably would make any difference at that point. It was the nearest hospital that had a bed. Unfortunately during her autopsy her bladder and reproductive tract *went missing* so they couldn't confirm if she had been raped or not, however as you point out there were no other signs of violence. The case went to trial three times, after ending in a hung jury twice, and an acquittal on the third. For the first two trials Arbuckle wouldn't allow his lawyers to slut shame her, trying to focus on the focus on the hypothesis that she had a urinary infection of some kind that killed her, but on the third he was nearly out of money and desperate, so they threw her under the bus. It worked. The jury wrote him a letter of apology. Personally I think he was innocent. The woman who accused him wasn't present when the crime supposedly occurred, and the people who were said nothing nefarious happened. Virginia was just an ill woman who had the misfortune of living in an era before antibiotics.

Pinketton's may need its own episode. They are still active to this day. Also, Nazis collaborated with lot of folks who we would never imagined because how we view their ideology with today's lenses.

Pinkertons are currently owned by Securitas - a private Swedish company! O.O Who got their first mention in the news in the 70's for working for landlords who wanted them to beat up working class kids who had nowhere to go. Logic being that the landlords didn't care if the kids died, they just didn't want them around their fancy tenement buildings.

When I was a tax preparer I had a client who worked for them! They mostly do private detective stuff these days, ie investigating cheating spouse and working for attorneys doing either civil or defending criminal cases. I was really astonished to see they were still around. I don't think they do much union-busting anymore.

I don’t think hindsight was really needed to know that capitulating to Nazis was a dangerous thing when the specific complaint they were leveraging and why is “We don’t like how this film treats talking children into dying in a war look bad, because we want to be doing that right now”. Like “well it’s easy to judge past people for things we know now we’re in error, but they could only guess” is *normally* a fair point to bring up… I really think it doesn’t apply here. Like with no precognitive context, it would still have been obvious in that moment what they were asking for and why was f*cked.

Well I have no idea where you live, but all around me in the US I see people acting exactly the same way the general public did back then in Germany: either they’re just plain apathetic from being preoccupied with their own struggles, working until they fall over in deplorable conditions,. And/or 70% of the population there had no more than an 8th grade education level so falling for misinformation and skilled propagandists was much more likely. And yet I hear exactly the same tropes and lies about my community (LGBT+, specifically trans in my case) and the same antisemitic rhetoric from politicians, I hear the same dehumanizing language and I have to ask one thing: What is the excuse THIS time? There was no internet back then, no thousands and thousands of hours of records from eyewitnesses, including people who just plainly failed to see what was going on, all of which was and is freely available. I’ve had it with all these holier-than-though lefty-types who somehow think they would’ve done better and yet here we are because that stupid arrogance has let us to the point where there IS 20/20 hindsight, all one had to was open their eyes. But no, it’s so much easier to cling to the myth of moral superiority…
