Why people recommend it
Julius Streicher by Randall Bytwerk is a detailed biographical examination of one of the most notorious propagandists of the Nazi regime and his inner workings within the Third Reich. Robert Evans heavily featured the book during episodes of Behind the Bastards, strongly recommending Randall Bytwerk's biography to listeners who wanted to gain a deeper understanding of the subject. Evans noted that Bytwerk provided a much more realistic theory regarding how Streicher ultimately met Adolf Hitler, moving past historical myths. Furthermore, Evans cited specific passages from the biography to illustrate how internal party commissions investigated Streicher's personal life, corruption, and various scandals. The podcast discussions underscored the biography's value as a rigorous historical resource for understanding the mechanics of Nazi propaganda and the sordid realities of the regime's inner circle. By drawing directly from Bytwerk's research, the show provided listeners with an unvarnished look at a secondary figure in the Nazi hierarchy whose virulent antisemitism played a critical role in shaping public opinion during the rise of the Third Reich.
