In this episode, Dr. David Dworak tells of both Axis and Allied experiences with contested logistics in North Africa during World War II. Often when we hear "contested" we think that the issues are something the enemy is causing for us, but as Dr. Dworak explains it can sometimes be environmental, including weather, and it can sometimes be a problem we created for ourselves.
