Dan Carlin’s Hardcore History 63 - Supernova in the East 2

Summary

This part two of a series on Asian wars, referencing historical atrocities and propaganda. The core question posed is why totalitarian regimes, like Hitler's Nazis, Stalin's Soviet Union, and the Khmer Rouge, didn't publicly broadcast or document their genocidal campaigns. The takeaway is that even during immense cruelty, rulers often avoided overt, detailed public acknowledgment, contrasting with ancient Assyrian displays of power.
