lundi 24 novembre 2025Duration 55:35

In today’s episode, we discuss sanitation in the trenches: Why the trenches were so filthy, what that did to soldiers’ bodies and minds, and how armies tried - with varying degrees of success - to keep a modern industrial war even vaguely hygienic.

Episode 103: African Americans in WWI

Episode 103

lundi 17 novembre 2025Duration 52:41

Today we’re looking at African Americans at war in 1917-18 - nearly 400,000 thousand men in uniform, most assigned to hard, essential labor, a smaller number fighting in segregated units that navigated American racial policy and coalition warfare at the same time. We’ll trace that story from recruitment and training through service with both the US Army and the French, and we’ll ask what their experience tells us about military effectiveness, citizenship and memory.

Episode 94: The First Tank Attack in History: Flers–Courcelette, 15 September 1916

Episode 94

vendredi 12 septembre 2025Duration 56:03

Dawn on the Somme, 15 September 1916. At 06:20, the whistles blew and men climbed from their trenches into the attack. But this morning, something else moved with them - steel monsters clanking forward on tracks, belching fumes, and crushing wire. The world’s first tanks would go into battle at Flers–Courcelette. What happened that day has been remembered as both a marvel of invention and a muddled gamble. Today, we’ll unpack the reality behind the myth.
