31. Twenty Four Hours in Arnhem

Achtung! Achtung!

Comedian Al Murray and historian James Holland discuss all matters WW2.

WW2 Pod: We Have Ways of Making You Talk is a bi-weekly show exploring the war in close up. James and Al have a stunning knowledge of their subject, but don't expect a linear narrative. The boys love a tangent and a forgotten tale.

We Have Ways of Making You Talk roams down forgotten front lines, casts new villains and makes the case for unlikely heroes.
