The Wild History Of War

How The Nazis Tried To Turn Whales Into Margarine

OCT 2, 202615 MIN

Description

Many people have heard some pretty bizarre tales from World War 2 history, but few come close to matching this one for its scale, scope and sheer absurdity.  In this episode we'll explore how the German people's love of margarine (and the concurrent dwindling of their supply lines) led to an audacious plan that almost led to a spectacular German landgrab all the way down in the Antarctic! Hosted by history teacher turned podcaster, Nick Charlie Key (host of The Fantastic History of Food). New episodes release EVERY TWO WEEKS!.
