A journey into history and my attempt to uncover the truth behind a most remarkable and intriguing tale. This is a story about a man called Milton (a black American Phd student), a man called Emil (a Jewish-German academic) and a man called Adolf (who needs no introduction). The time and place: Heidelberg, Germany, 1932.
LISTEN TO IT HERE:
In this episode I uncover many of the various versions of the "Milton SJ Wright's meeting with Adolf Hitler" story that have been published over the years, including by JA Rogers and Roi Ottley. I discover a range of inconsistencies in the tale -- is it even true?? -- as well as two significant new clues in the journey to uncover the real story behind Milton's eventful dinner in 1932.
