Let’s Kill Hitler

Fantasies Are Needed During Wartime

By 1945 there were plenty of pulp stories and comic books with plots about doing away with Hitler. Today, I’m going to tell you about two of them: “Nothing But Gingerbread Left” by Henry Kuttner and “Time Column” by Malcom Jameson.

Happy listening!
