About this Episode

Alfred Krupp was a lot of things. A businessman. A genius inventor. An arms dealer. When it came to steel, especially steel cannons, there was no other.
But behind the accolades lays a very strange and curious man. A man who smelled horse poop for it restorative powers. A man that was afraid of breathing his own breath. A man that was afraid of fire, yet owned a foundry.
Join us as we explore the 19th century freak, Alfred Krupp!
