#03 'Always carry pepper to throw in their eyes' - Ep 3 of Who really won the Battle of Britain?


Listen Later

Our most popular series re-released here in order, especially but not exclusively (!) for Apple podcast listeners because Apple don't do playlists:Synopsis: Britain is gripped by fear of invasion. Government leaflet 'If the Invader Comes' calls for pepper and ‘a sharp knife to kill them if necessary.’ Churchill goes on BBC and says ‘we await undismayed by the impending assault. Perhaps it will come tonight.’ So why in private is Churchill saying he doubts the invasion would ever take place?
