On this episode of Hostile History, David Borys is joined by
historian and drag queen Karla Marx as they dive deep into the
reasons that the myth of the clean Wehrmacht became so powerful in
the years after the war. The war became both a landscape for
righteousness by those who fought against the Nazi’s but also a
vehicle by which morality and ideology could be judged and
justified. As a post-war Germany sought to rebuild itself and as a
post-war United States sought to defend the values of democracy the
way the war was remembered and discussed became crucial to both
national and international objectives. Guest: Karla Marx
