This week we get back in the war, or back in World War 2 to be precise as we are joined by award winning aviation historian Victoria Taylor who is raging that the Luftwaffe are not this clean branch of the Third Reich, they have blood on their hands and atrocities to their name too.

In this episode we talk about Luftwaffe paratroopers on Crete, how the Luftwaffe could be one of the most politicised military branches in history and how the Luftwaffe completely bought into the war of annihilation in the East.

You can follow Victoria on Twitter @spitfirefilly and do check out her website www.spitfirefillyaviation.com where you can find out more about her work and her forthcoming engagements.
