What were Brits listening and reading during the Second World War, and why did poetry have a renaissance for Tommies on the front line? Al Murray and James Holland talk about wartime culture and the creation of a false English idyll. 

Also, in light of this weekend's news from Russia, Al and Jim wonder if parallels can be drawn between the Wagner Group and the Waffen SS.
