Episode 9: How the Allies Won – More Than Numbers
Episode 9
mercredi 25 septembre 2024 • Duration 01:12:26
In this episode we’ll get to grips with what might seem like a simple question – why and how did the Allies win the Second World War. The usual answer is that it was superior numbers. These matter, but we think that the answers go far beyond the statistic, in order to get to grips with all of this, we have to lift some of the fog of war.

Episode 4: The Greatest Victory of All Time?
Episode 4
mercredi 21 août 2024 • Duration 56:27
In this episode, we will tackle the German victory in the West and in particular over France in 1940. Even though it’s been partly overshadowed by later events in the war, at the time it was rightly seen as one of the greatest military victories of all time. It was a short but decisive campaign and it is still the source of all sorts of misunderstandings and controversy.
