Podcast: Die Warnung der Steigbügelhalter | Die Steigbügelhalter

The verdict is in. For five episodes, we've gathered evidence. About Hindenburg, Papen, Hugenberg, Victor Emmanuel, and all the others who paved the way for fascism. The answer is both clear and more complex than we thought. Because conservatism itself is not guilty. But those actors who, in the name of their ideology, made a rational, calculated, and deeply cynical decision are. In the final episode of "The Step-Ups," the verdict is delivered. We draw a line to the present and ask the most uncomfortable question about Europe's conservatives: Would they do it again?
