In the years leading up to WWII, Nazi Germany's war machine was cranking into full gear. In this episode of History Traveler, we're traveling to some lesser known spots in the forests of Bavaria to look for some of the ruins of the factories that were built and run with slave labor to fuel the war that an authoritarian dictator was waging on the world.
