Few people dared challenge him in court. One man did\u2014and for a time, he succeeded. In this episode of History Shorts, we tell the extraordinary story of Hans Litten, the young Jewish attorney who forced Hitler to testify under oath in a Berlin courtroom in 1931. Through relentless questioning, Litten exposed contradictions in Hitler\u2019s claims about the Nazi Party\u2019s commitment to legality and democracy, embarrassing the future dictator before a national audience. It was one of the rare moments in history when Hitler was compelled to answer difficult questions rather than dictate them.
