In today’s episode, we are crossing the Rhine and push into the heartland of Germany. However, this is not the Rhine crossing you might have heard of, but the one that included the largest one-day airborne drop in history.

In this episode we will tackle some of the bitterest and, from the Allied side, most controversial actions of the Italian campaign and indeed of the entire war: the four battles of Monte Cassino, also known as the “Battle for Rome”. Why did the Allies struggle so much, did they commit a massive war crime, and was the campaign worth it in the first place - let’s find out.

In this episode, we are moving into a new field intelligence and covert operations. Did they influence the outcome of the war, or were they merely a sideshow? There's no shortage of examples and today we are concentrating on what is arguably the most famous and perhaps also the most successful, Operation Mincemeat.

It was the largest campaign in the history of warfare, and the one that, arguably, turned the tide and decided the outcome of the Second World War.Why did the Germans decide to invade, what were the Soviets plans, and how did this campaign develop?

In this episode, we are returning to the core theme of this podcast series, and this is busting myths and taking a closer look at overly convenient truths - those that are too good and too fantastic to be true. The list of these myths is endless, which is a good thing, because it means we can continue with the podcast series for a long time. Of course, one has to pick and choose what myths to bust, and, in this episode, we will take a closer look at some of the more famous, or infamous, myths, from both the Western and Eastern front.

In this episode, we’re diving into the Battle of Stalingrad – often seen as THE turning point of World War Two and the culmination point of Nazi Germany’s total war in the East. It’s perhaps the bitterest and bloodiest example of urban warfare, and like most big battles, it has given rise to myths that deserve a critical look.

In this episode we’ll get to grips with what might seem like a simple question – why and how did the Allies win the Second World War. The usual answer is that it was superior numbers. These matter, but we think that the answers go far beyond the statistic, in order to get to grips with all of this, we have to lift some of the fog of war.

In this episode we’ll investigate the idea of Blitzkrieg - were the stunning victories of German arms from 1939 to 1941 the result of a brilliant, a new military concept? Is the Blitzkrieg label a myth echoing Nazi propaganda? And what are the military roots of this Blitzkrieg and the associated doctrine?

In this episode, we peel back the layers on what seems to be a straightforward question - US entry into WW2. The story leads beyond Pearl Harbor, into a web of international tensions, persistent mythology - and even to France and China.

In this episode, we will tackle the German victory in the West and in particular over France in 1940. Even though it’s been partly overshadowed by later events in the war, at the time it was rightly seen as one of the greatest military victories of all time. It was a short but decisive campaign and it is still the source of all sorts of misunderstandings and controversy.

In this episode we’ll go back to the roots: we’ll get into how and why the 2 World War began - which is a story about Adolf Hitler but not only about Hitler - there were a lot of messy things going on in the 1920s and 1930s that plunged the world into total war.
