In this episode of Never Mind the Dambusters, we join historian Dr. Sarah-Louise Miller to explore her research on WWII operations, including Operation Manna and Operation Exodus. We examine the emotional impact of war stories, the humanitarian efforts of the RAF, and the experiences of POWs returning home. 

As we navigate the challenges of writing about such sensitive topics, we reflect on the power of personal stories in shaping our understanding of history.  

Jane relates a  tragic story about Operation Sketch (the transportation home of troops from India and the Far East) in December 1945. 

Sarah shares her insights with us and offers a glimpse into her upcoming projects, including her research on the Pacific War in Hawaii, and the often-overlooked voices of history.
