The Expendables 2
In this riveting episode, we delve deep into the fascinating story of 'The Expendables'. We uncover the story of a convoluted German intelligence operation during World War II that ineptly attempted to infiltrate Scotland with spies. The episode discusses the key players in this operation, including the enigmatic figure, Vera Erickson. We learn that the mission was a complete disaster, marked by incompetence and desperate measures. Vera, a beautiful and manipulative woman, is highlighted as one who deftly navigates the convoluted web of espionage. Our co-host, Tom, undertakes a detailed cold case review of the operation, identifying key failures and fantastical elements that seem almost too absurd to be true. In the end, listeners are left considering the calamity of the operation, the mysterious nature of Vera Erickson, and the broader context of intelligence operations during World War II.
