Episode 1

The Last Nazi Secret

NR
May 12, 2002

They would exterminate tens of thousands of homosexuals, and yet the National Socialist movement, with its mystic ideals of brotherhood between fighting men, was steeped in homoerotic imagery and practice. This is an examination of the complex sexual ambiguities of the Nazi party, and of Hitler himself.

Episode 6

The Crucified Soldier

NR
Jul 4, 2002

The Crucified Soldier refers to the widespread story of an Allied soldier serving in the Canadian Corps who may have been crucified with bayonets on a barn door or a tree, while fighting on the Western Front during World War I. Three witnesses said they saw an unidentified crucified Canadian soldier near the battlefield of Ypres, Belgium on or around 24 April 1915, but there was no conclusive proof such a crucifixion actually occurred. The eyewitness accounts were somewhat contradictory, no crucified body was found, and no knowledge was uncovered at the time about the identity of the supposedly crucified soldier. During World War II the story was used by the Nazis as an example of British propaganda.
