Despite the fact that some of its programming is pseudo-history (Ancient Aliens) or not history at all (Ice Road Truckers), I am a fan of channel called History (formerly The History Channel). Needing a break from the political news, I switched on the channel a couple of times today and noticed that every program was about Hitler and the Nazis. I saw a little bit of a program about the cult of the Nazis and another one later in the day about hunting for Hitler (hypothesizing that Hitler had escaped to Latin America). Today has basically been a Nazi marathon on History. Since History has a tendency to program to breaking news, I was at first worried that they were pandering to the Neo Nazi element given Trump’s election. But now they are showing back-to-back the programs Third Reich: The Rise and Third Reich: The Fall. Those programs are definitely anti-Nazi by showing the consequences of what happened. I’ve seen them before, but they are usually shown on the weekends in the morning or afternoon. This is a weekend, but they are being shown in the evening, in prime time. I don’t know if this is connected at all to the election, but it’s not like this is new programming that had to be shown in prime time. If not deliberate, a great coincidence!
