Discover the continuation of the story dedicated to Magda Goebbels, the one who was the wife of the head of Nazi propaganda Joseph Goebbels.

From her first meeting with a member of the NSDAP in 1930, the young woman understood that what was missing in her life was a cause to defend.

But the role that Adolf Hitler, the Führer, has in mind for her is far from what she expected... In this episode of the podcast "At the heart of History" produced by Europe 1 Studio, Virginia Girod retraces the life of this historical figure with a tragic destiny.

In the midst of Nazi Germany, Magda Goebbels, wife of propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels, found meaning in her life as an activist for the NSDAP.

She is now a central figure of the Third Reich.

But for Hitler, politics is a man's business.

He wants to make her the perfect Nazi wife, a role model for "Aryan" women.

Thus, what Hitler imposes on Magda Goebbels is to rediscover the way of life which had driven her mad with despair with her first husband, Günther Quandt… But this time, under the eye of the cameras.

This story is a Europe 1 Studio production.
