- Episode 20: Memory Part 1 - Germany
In today’s episode we are going to visit a global battlefield of the Second World War. But this battlefield is not an operational campaign in Europe or in the Pacific – its the controversial and political battle of our collective memory of World War Two. 80 years after the war ended, what does the war mean to us and why, and how is it made to serve current political goals?

50 min - Episode 19: What-ifs of World War Two: the Invasion that Never Was
In this episode, we’ll venture into the fascinating but treacherous realm of the counterfactual, the what-ifs of the Second World War.

1 hr 9 min - Episode 18: The Greatest Allied Victory of the War?
In this episode we’re going to talk about the biggest operational military defeat that Germany has ever suffered in its history, a campaign that completely destroyed an entire German Army group in a matter of weeks. Despite the massive scale of the damage inflicted and the immense operational achievement it represents, this operation gets nearly no attention in the English-speaking world. I am talking, of course, about Operation Bagration, the Red Army’s triumph against Army Group Centre in the summer of 1944.

In this episode we will tackle some of the bitterest and, from the Allied side, most controversial actions of the Italian campaign and indeed of the entire war: the four battles of Monte Cassino, also known as the “Battle for Rome”.

In this episode, we are moving into a new field intelligence and covert operations. Did they influence the outcome of the war, or were they merely a sideshow?

1 hr 32 min - Episode 11: More Myths
In this episode, we are returning to the core theme of this podcast series, and this is busting myths and taking a closer look at overly convenient truths - those that are too good and too fantastic to be true. The list of these myths is endless, which is a good thing, because it means we can continue with the podcast series for a long time. Of course, one has to pick and choose what myths to bust, and, in this episode, we will take a closer look at some of the more famous, or infamous, myths, from both the Western and Eastern front.
