Great podcast

informative, fun, hard hitting and just downright enjoyable, telling untold/unheard stories of not just the main war but all the little side lines of action

An eye opener

Hadn't really thought about '43 as being a pivotal part of Ww2. Great listen.

Powerful, funny, and moving.

The podcast as a whole is fascinating, but this episode could have been hours longer and still amazing.

So interesting

What's not to like. Brilliant revaluation of the second world war. Presented by two people who plainly love this period of history, who have a deep understanding of the subject and dare I say love each other in a stiff upper lip sort of way.
