In this 3D audio series, ex-British Paratrooper and history fanatic Bruce Crompton narrates incredible tales of bravery from conflicts throughout the ages to support military institutions. All around the world military museums are in danger of closing and smaller, veterans charities desperately need more support. If we allow them to perish, the history contained within them will be lost, as will vital life-lines for our cherished veterans. Remember, Military museums aren't just places of learning, they're places of remembrance too.

The Daredevils of D-Day - Part 2

Saison 2 · Épisode 8

mercredi 19 juin 2024 • Durée 41:46

In the late hours of hours of June 5th, 1944 six Horsa gliders, towed by Halifax bombers made their way across the channel. Inside the lead glider, codenamed Chalk 91, sat 30 men readying themselves for one of the most daring missions of D-Day. Little did the men realise that the next 24 hours would turn into a desperate battle for survival, as they became surrounded, deep behind enemy lines attacked by tanks, snipers and the full might of the Nazi army. Sadly, some would never see home again. These soldiers wore the maroon berets of the airborne forces, known to enemy as The Red Devils.

Lightning Strikes & The Ragged Irregulars of Bassingbourne

Saison 2 · Épisode 6

jeudi 8 février 2024 • Durée 55:17

On the 9th of October, 1943, one of the bloodiest air battles of the war was unfolding over German skies. Over 300 hundred fighters were attacking the Flying Fortresses of the American 1st air division, who were on a daylight bombing raid to Anklam, East Germany. The dog fighting was savage, the Germans relentless. The men on the bombers who flew that day were seasoned war fighters and those that returned said they had never experienced anything like it. It was one of the first times the American planes from the 8th Airforce had been able to strike this far into the Nazi homeland. New modifications to their fortresses meant they could now travel much greater distances - but it also presented them with a new problem. The disadvantage of long range bombing missions meant that the friendly escort fighters with smaller fuel tanks couldn’t keep up with you - so you were flying without their protection. Without the fighters for cover the Germans would attack with virtual impunity. This is the remarkable true story of 10 men in one of those flying fortresses, a plane called Lightning Strikes. By the end of the mission, three quarters of the bomber group were either destroyed or badly damaged and 50 men never made it back… They were The Ragged Irregulars of Bassingbourne..

WarDaddy - The Real Fury

Saison 2 · Épisode 5

jeudi 7 décembre 2023 • Durée 59:15

On a moonlit night of 28th August 1944 an American Sherman M4A1-76 tank sat on a hillside watching the approaching train in the valley below. Sitting on top was a sergeant, Lafayette G Pool. There was nothing normal about this soldier however, he was the US Army’s most feared tank commander and by the end of his service he had clocked over a dozen enemy tank kills. The war film Fury is a movie like no other - directed by David Ayer it follows the exploits of a tank commander called Don “War Daddy” Collier played by Brad Pitt. Many fans don’t realise that the nickname of Pitt’s character was actually borrowed from a real person, and that man would almost single handedly drive the 3rd Armoured division straight into the guts of Nazi Germany. This is the true story of War Daddy - The Real Fury.

The Punishers of Pebble Island

Saison 2 · Épisode 4

jeudi 9 novembre 2023 • Durée 53:20

In the early hours of the 15th May 1982 three SeaKing helicopters lifted off the British aircraft carrier HMS Hermes in complete darkness. On board were 42 soldiers of the Special Air Service - their destination, an enemy airfield whose position threatened the entire British landing force. The stakes were high. If the assault failed, the British could not only lose nearly half its special forces soldiers in one go but an Argentinian strike from the airbase could lead to the failure of the troop landings... and the war itself. Like any SAS raid it was a huge roll of the dice, but as the regiment’s motto says, Who Dares Wins and the troopers on board those helicopters had no intention of losing...They were... The Punishers of Pebble Island. Sign up to our newsletter here: http://eepurl.com/imr7Dk Visit: amazingwarstories.com to find our more about this initiative.

The Kings of Kokoda

Saison 2 · Épisode 3

mercredi 19 juillet 2023 • Durée 56:57

On the 29th August 1942 a soldier of the Australian Maroubra Force placed his hand on the bipod of his Bren gun, the barrel was still too hot to hold and loaded a fresh magazine. The enemy, only yards away, were crashing through the jungle towards them. The Australian Force were massively outnumbered, exhausted and disease ridden - they knew they were staring defeat in the face. No Allied army had yet beaten the fearsome Imperial soldiers of the Japanese Army in battle. But that would soon change. The soldier gritted his teeth, grabbed the charging handle and cocked his weapon. As the Japanese ran screaming towards him he charged back at them, firing from the hip...

The Hitmen of Heraklion

Saison 2 · Épisode 2

mercredi 5 juillet 2023 • Durée 48:27

On the morning of June 10th, 1942 six armed men in three rubber dinghies filled with explosives, paddled ashore to a small beach near Malia, Crete. Their mission - to destroy as many planes as possible at the Luftwaffe Airbase at Heraklion. But already, the operation wasn’t going to plan. They had landed in the wrong location and the occupied island was not only crawling with German soldiers but also Nazi spies the allies called Quislings. This is the remarkable true story of the SAS’s first seaborne operation. By the end, the six heroes were forced to play a deadly game of cat and mouse as the nazis and traitors, tried to capture the fleeing SAS operatives. Sadly, not all of them would survive.

On the night of 6th June 1944 at 4:50 am, an army medic jeep pulling a small two wheeled trailer, careened through the little French town of Troarn.
