Plus: Our new schedule for 2023
| | | | This briefcase was meant to stop Hitler. It almost worked |
|
One hot morning in 1944, a briefcase was placed near the feet of Adolf Hitler.
It was there to kill him. Laden with explosives, the briefcase detonated as intended. But then everything went wrong.
The new series of Object in Time starts off with the story behind this assassination attempt. Read more in this article.
Hear more stories of important objects from history —including the Carbolic Smoke Ball, the potato, and more — by following the History Listen podcast on ABC listen.
Then, join Life Matters to imagine an internet with new priorities.
This one often feels like it's built for advertising, but what if everything was different?
Plus, this week we announced our new schedule for 2023, featuring a new, earlier time slot for RN Drive at 4pm. Find out more details here.
Until next time, Rosie Ryan, digital editor
