Just when you thought the Germany Army from 1939-45 couldn't get any more insane Matt sheds a bit of light on the fuel that drove them on their ruthless and sadistic march across Europe. In particular we look at the tale Aimo Allan Koivunen, a Finnish soldier who fought with the Axis forces against the Russians on the Eastern Front.

U.S.S. Indianapolis - Worst Maritime Disaster
Facts Schmacts
12/29/22 • 57 min
What an absolute awful experience this was... and the story this week is pretty brutal also... The U.S.S. Indianapolis is a historic and famous US Navy boat that sailed some of the most important missions of WW2, but those missions aren't what it's remembered for. Considered the worst maritime disaster in American history the sinking of the U.S.S. Indianapolis is a series of nightmares upon nightmares. It's seriously messed up.

Does Matt ever find anything happy in history to report? No, the answer is just no. Facts Schmacts history episodes, and true crime is often a downer, and this story takes the apfelkuchen (that's a German "apple cake"). Join us Listener as we tell the tale of Hinterkaifeck family that was brutally murdered under mysterious and gruesome circumstances.
