65 min • 2 februari 2025

Why do the Hessians get all the blame for pretty much every war crime committed during the American War of Independence?

Professor Friedericke Baer joins us to talk about her book on the Hessians, who they were, where they came from, and why the often-repeated claims about them simply don't stack up with the reality.
