Sage words gentlemen. 👍 Unfortunately we kive in a time where these scenarios seem too distant. ..until they’re not.😟

What a brilliant podcast and I agree wholeheartedly with everything you’ve said, especially about today’s problems. Keep it up. Well done 👏.

My work day or when travelling would not be complete without the latest podcast, keep it up chaps.

always top notch WW2 history and entertaining chat

Always entertaining, informative and educational... 👍

My son and I are doing a road trip in October to retrace my dad’s WW2 journey through NWE. He was sergeant in 1st Battalion (Motorised) Grenadier Guards. Your podcast is a wonderful resource packed full of information but delivered at such a pace and with such an expectation of military terminology that I’m floundering. The GG archivist confirms he saw action at Cagny, Pont-a-Marcq, Tilburg ,Nijmegen, Betheim and Sandbostel (where he earned an MM). Any recommendations on books I can read in adv

quality pod as usual

This episode dropped today and episode 2 dropped yesterday 🤣🤣🤔 Brilliant stuff as ever lads. Thanks for all your hard work and enthusiasm ❤️❤️👍

Thoroughly enjoyed these two episodes about the Stauffenberg plot.

Not only the actors who have that life long connection and cherished memories of Band of Brothers, it’s also the crew, I worked on that show as a specialist effects and makeup dept. I had the opportunity to play a medic. It was transformative. As a crew we all are a band of brothers who are inextricably linked by that singular event.

Absolutely fantastic listening. For anyone who wants more there’s a great website 20-juli-44.de which has archives and profiles personal and professional of the ”resistance” or übersetzung. Keep up the wonderfully presented podcast chaps, I love that it’s not dumbed down for ”broader appeal” Simon NZ

You might wanna spellcheck the title of today’s podcast...

the best podcast

love this podcast! listen to my favorites over and over.

Ive never heard the allied mistakes at Monte Cassino ellucidated so clearly, this is a great lesson about management and communication.

Wikid, keep on keeping on!

superb series, thanks gents

I also read Naples ’44, and it’s worth contemplating the misery and angst of that year in Naples and everywhere in Europe. In that year no rational person doubted the eventual outcome, but many doubted they would live to see better days that would surely come. Both soldiers and civilians had to feel they were forced to endure more needless months of due to fanatical foes as well as sad sacks, criminals, and malingerers from within! It’s ironic that Getmans were the fastest as civilians!

Also love the backstory for Roger Waters and his dad Eric Fletcher Waters, killed at Anzio. I listened to Pink Floyd’s The Wall: ”A snapshot in the family album...daddy whadya leave behind for me”...and other wwii references (”does anybody here remember Vera Lynn?”), makes more sense now! Brilliant!

On ”the Italian campaign” reasons why 3rd reich didn’t just throw in the towel, I’ve got one more you didn’t mention: the psychological impact of aggregate moral atrocities committed. Many in leadership now have blood on their hands that they know will not just be forgotten once the guns go silent! Great job guys, albeit a bit too Brit, but fantastic for us wwii addicts!
