  • POWs in Canada and the Murders at Camp 132
    Apr 14 2025
    Episode 362: We explore chilling events that unfolded at POW Camp 132 in Medicine Hat, Alberta, during World War II. This prisoner-of-war camp, one of many scattered across Canada, became the site of two brutal murders that shocked even hardened veterans and led to Canada's last mass execution. In the summer of 1943, August Plaszek, a former French Foreign Legion soldier forcibly integrated into the German army, met a gruesome end at the hands of Nazi hardliners within the camp. Just over a year later, in September 1944, Karl Lehmann, a university professor turned Luftwaffe interpreter, suffered a similar fate for daring to share news of Germany's failing war effort with his fellow prisoners. These murders, born from the complex dynamics of a “little piece of Germany” transplanted to the Canadian prairies, would set in motion a series of dramatic trials that tested the limits of Canadian justice and international law.

  • Madness on the Hill: The 1966 Parliamentary Bombing
    Mar 31 2025
    Episode 360: On May 18, 1966, Paul Joseph Chartier, among other things, a disillusioned and unemployed security guard and former truck driver, attempted a deadly act of terrorism on Parliament Hill in Ottawa. Chartier planned to throw a homemade dynamite bomb into the House of Commons chamber, targeting politicians he blamed for societal injustices and his personal failures. However, the bomb detonated prematurely in a washroom, killing only Chartier himself. This tragic incident drew significant attention at the time, leading to investigations by the RCMP and led to a federal inquiry. Sources: Robert N.

RESPECTFUL.

attention is paid to the victims. none of the criminals are glorified. but this is more than true crime. It looks at the history of Canada, that does not get a lot of attention, dark incidents and the events surrounding them. My favourite is the episode about the Halifax explosion. although I would love it to be updated with the superior co-host who would add more depth. I want to hear more history!

Very well done and respectful

Just the right balance of info to satisfy curiosity without over the top graphic details. They tell the stories of the victims and their families in respectful ways.
