    Hard to hear words
    I don’t have any issue with anything else but the audio needs to be clearer and audio is the main thing for a podcast

    Misleading
    Besides the quality of the audio sounding like it’s spoken into a tin can in a gymnasium, the subject matter is approached with the thinnest of disguises for denialism and excusing the inhumanity committed during WW2 as just doing your job and chalks up the conditions to systemic banality of evil. I expected a degree of the host playing devil’s advocate when discussing evidence presented in the trials. What is presented here is information meant to persuade the listener that the convictions were a miscarriage of justice because the evidence did not fit the exact crime. Having thought that surely it was just the one episode, I listened to three more just to make sure my impression was not wrong. They were more of the same. War crimes are not the “First 48” or the “Forensic Files”. You don’t get DNA and security cam footage to prove that a genocidal manic killed their victims 75 years ago in a camp or forest. The only reason the few witnesses that were available and were not victims is because they weren’t seen.
