John and Charles explore the historical figure Gerald Burton Winrod, a controversial British Israelite preacher who became central to the 1944 Great Sedition Trial during World War II. They examine Winrod’s role in pro-Nazi agitation, the American Bund network, and the emerging Christian Identity theology that blended racial ideology with religious language.

The discussion places these developments alongside William Branham’s early ministry timeline, including Branham’s later claims about his 1933 prophecies and Mussolini. By revisiting primary sources and documented historical events, the conversation connects mid-century Pentecostalism, wartime extremism, and the broader religious climate that shaped postwar revival movements.
