This week we welcome author and military historian Russell Philips who wants to make the case that remembrance needs to look at smaller battles and atrocities as well, because the dead of those are just as dead as those of D-Day.
We'll be talking about the complete erasure of the town of Lidice after the Heydrich assassination and also the curious campaign to take Madagascar.
You can buy "A Strange Campaign: The Battle for Madagascar" at the History Rage Bookshop and you can follow Russell on Twitter at @RPBook
