Mittelwerk: Part 6 (w. Joe Kassabian)

CONTENT WARNING
Only 21 people were ever convicted for crimes at Mittelwerk. Only 1 was executed. This week, we're finalizing our series on the slave factory that produced Hitler's vengeance weapons. Joining us is genocide historian Joe Kassabian (bsky.app/profile/jkass99.bsky.social) to lend his insight on how Mittelbau fit into the larger German camp network and slave labour scheme.
