In remembrance, History Obscura presents the story of one of the most eminent members of the party who was NOT required to testify in one of the United States' or West Germany's courts: Wernher von Braun.

    Edinburgh's Witch Hunter King & the Nor' Loch
    Nov 9 2025

    Welcome back to the show! This brand-new episode of History Obscura covers the peak of Scotland's witch hunting era, all thanks to the obsessive King James I & VI and his hit book, Daemonologie. Deep within the fetid waters of the Nor' Loch, successive generations of Scots would eventually find the material evidence for these atrocities.
