More information
NASA Nazi Conspiracy is a one‑off TV episode that first aired on the History Channel in 2022. It stars documentary‑style presenter Dr. Emily Hargreaves, alongside former Luftwaffe historian Klaus Richter and NASA engineer Maya Patel. Think of it as a hybrid of Ancient Aliens and a Cold War spy thriller, but set in the 1960s. The episode dives into the wild notion that Nazi scientists slipped into the Apollo programme, feeding the moon‑landing hoax myth with a fresh twist. Interviews with declassified document experts, dramatised reenactments of secret meetings in a Berlin bunker, and a walk‑through of the V‑2 rocket legacy all build a surprisingly coherent narrative – without giving away the final verdict. Honestly, it’s not a groundbreaking expose – the evidence is thin and the pacing drags a bit when the show leans into archival footage. Still, the production values are proper for a TV documentary, and Klaus Richter’s dead‑pan delivery adds a mental charm. If you enjoy a bit of conspiratorial fun, it’s surprisingly good, though not a must‑see. Fair warning: the episode is rated PG‑13 for occasional strong language and some graphic wartime images. It first aired on terrestrial TV in the UK last month, so it’s fresh enough to spark conversation but still feels a little dated in its visual style. Plus, the show’s disclaimer makes clear it’s speculative, not academic.
Truth Behind the Moon Landing broadcasts on Discovery Science +1 at 2:00am, Monday, 15 December 2025. (Subtitles)
