Podcasts about Blitzkrieg

The Third World War we warned about feels closer at hand than the last time we spoke, and deterrent actions that could have been taken were largely ignored. We're now in a rerun of the cold war, but this time it's much hotter, there are no rules to bound and limit the offensive actions of Russia, and it no longer seems to care whether we think of it as a barbarous nation or not. We've left it to five to midnight to act – is it too late to turn the tide, and are we even prepared to act now? ----------Partner on this video: KYIV OF MINE Watch the trailer now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=arJUcE1rxY0'Kyiv of Mine' is a documentary series about Ukraine's beautiful capital, Kyiv. The film production began in 2018, and much has changed since then. It is now 2025, and this story is far from over.https://www.youtube.com/@UCz6UbVKfqutH-N7WXnC5Ykg https://www.kyivofmine.com/#theprojectKyiv of Mine is fast paced, beautifully filmed, humorous, fun, insightful, heartbreaking, moving, hopeful. The very antithesis in fact of a doom-laden and worthy wartime documentary. This is a work that is extraordinarily uplifting. My friend Operator Starsky says the film is “Made with so much love. The film series will make you laugh and cry.” ----------This is super important. There are so many Battalions in Ukraine, fighting to defend our freedoms, but lack basics such as vehicles. These are destroyed on a regular basis, and lack of transport is costs lives, and Ukrainian territory.

The Maginot Line was one of the most ambitious defensive projects of the 1930s. Built along France's eastern border, this vast system of underground forts, tunnels, and bunkers included hospitals, kitchens, telephone exchanges, electric railways, and turrets that could rise from the ground to strike at attackers. Designed to withstand artillery and even chemical weapons, it represented the cutting edge of military engineering. Yet when Germany invaded in May 1940, France fell in just six weeks. The Maginot Line has since become a byword for failure — an expensive defensive shield that seemed useless against Blitzkrieg. But was it really such a mistake, or have we misunderstood its role in the Second World War? In this episode of the WW2 Podcast, I'm joined by Professor Kevin Passmore, author of The Maginot Line: A New History. Together, we explore how the defences were built, how they performed in 1940, and what the Maginot Line can really tell us about the fall of France.   patreon.com/ww2podcast  

Norman Ohler is a historian and author of "Blitzed: Drugs in the Third Reich," a book that investigates the role of psychoactive drugs, particularly stimulants such as methamphetamine, in the military history of World War II. It is a book that two legendary historians Ian Kershaw and Antony Beevor give very high praise for its depth of research. Norman also wrote "Tripped: Nazi Germany, the CIA, and the Dawn of the Psychedelic Age", and he is working on a new book "Stoned Sapiens" looking at the history of human civilization through the lens of drugs.

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text MessageGermany's defeat in World War II wasn't merely a matter of battlefield losses but rather a predictable outcome rooted in fundamental strategic, economic, and leadership failures. Drawing from Victor Davis Hanson's masterful analysis in "The Second World Wars," this episode reveals the three decisive factors that sealed Nazi Germany's fate from the beginning.The first fatal flaw was Germany's profound economic weakness. Despite creating Europe's most formidable military machine, Germany simply lacked the industrial capacity to sustain a global conflict against enemies with vastly superior resources. The production disparities were staggering—by 1945, America's GDP alone exceeded all Axis powers combined. While German engineers developed advanced weapons, their resource constraints prevented effective mass production, creating an insurmountable disadvantage against Allied manufacturing might.Hitler's strategic overreach represents perhaps his most catastrophic error. After succeeding in limited border wars against weaker European states between 1939-1941, Hitler transformed what should have remained regional conflicts into a global war Germany couldn't possibly win. The critical turning point came with Operation Barbarossa in June 1941—invading the Soviet Union while still fighting Britain—a decision Hanson calls "probably the biggest blunder in military history." When Hitler then declared war on America following Pearl Harbor, he ensured Germany would face enemies whose combined population and industrial capacity made Allied victory mathematically inevitable.Most damning was Hitler's own strategic incompetence. Having never visited America, Britain, or Russia, he made decisions based on maps rather than understanding of terrain, climate, or logistics. He routinely overruled his generals, diverted resources from military objectives to implement the Holocaust, and relied on emotional fantasy rather than strategic reality. As Hanson notes, Hitler had "no blueprint to end the war-making power" of his enemies, dooming Germany from the moment he abandoned limited objectives for impossible global ambitions. Key Points from the Episode:• Economic weakness and limited industrial capacity made Germany unable to sustain a prolonged global conflict• By 1945, US GDP alone exceeded all Axis powers combined, creating an insurmountable production advantage• Operation Barbarossa created a fatal two-front war while Germany was still fighting Britain• Hitler's declaration of war against America brought the world's largest industrial power into the conflict• German forces lacked critical resources, especially oil, while facing enemies with superior manufacturing capabilities• Hitler had never visited America, Britain or Russia - the very countries he chose to fight• Resources were diverted from military objectives to implement the Holocaust• Germany's early victories (1939-1941) created a dangerous illusion of invincibility• The war was preventable, facilitated by Soviet collusion, American isolationism, and British-French appeasement• Once Allied industrial potential fully mobilized by 1942-43, Germany's defeat was mathematically certainBe sure to check out our show page at teammojoacademy.com, where we have everything we discussed in this podcast, as well as other great resources.Other resources: Liberty Minute #62--An Empire of WealthWant to leave a review?

Hej! W najnowszym odcinku serii Powojnie poruszam zapomniany epizod współczesnej historii – amerykańską inwazję na Grenadę. Ta niewielka karaibska wyspa trafiła na nagłówki gazet, gdy Stany Zjednoczone zdecydowały się siłą wymusić tam zmianę władzy.Grenada coraz bardziej przypominała Kubę – jej przywódcy zacieśniali relacje z Moskwą i przede wszystkim z reżimem Fidela Castro. Sam Castro był bliskim przyjacielem lidera grenadyjskiej rewolucji – Maurice'a Bishopa. To budziło rosnące zaniepokojenie w Białym Domu, zwłaszcza po podpisaniu umowy z ZSRR na dostawy broni.Sytuacja zaostrzyła się po zamachu stanu, który wyniósł do władzy jeszcze bardziej prosowiecką frakcję. Waszyngton uznał, że nie może dłużej zwlekać. Prezydent Ronald Reagan dał zielone światło do przeprowadzenia operacji Urgent Fury – „Nagła Furia” miała powstrzymać rozwój kolejnego sojusznika bloku wschodniego tuż pod nosem USA. w filmie.

July 2025 By late 1944, the tide had turned against the Japanese in south-east Asia, with the repulse of their attempted invasion of India. However, the multi-national Allied forces in Burma still faced enormous challenges if they were to retain the initiative, and push the enemy out of the country. Every mile travelled from their supply bases, across barely-navigable expanses of jungle and mountain, exposed Allied troops to greater difficulties and risk of starvation and destruction. It was a struggle against the terrain and a race against time to liberate Burma before the arrival of the monsoon. In this struggle, intelligence and deception were essential weapons in the Allied arsenal. In this It Happened Here episode, Head of Audiences and Programmes Vicki Pipe is joined by Research Officer Dr Thomas Cheetham to explore the 1945 battles for Burma and the race to Rangoon which formed the climax of Britain's war against Japan. This episode features Veteran's Eric Rhodes, Roy Buckmaster and Dennis Underwood, from our Oral History archive. Our thanks go to Owen Moogan and Dr Ben Thompson for voicing our historical documents.

In this riveting episode of History Rage Live, host Paul Bavill welcomes back historian and author Jack Bowsher to explore the largely overlooked Battle of Meiktila, a significant yet underappreciated engagement in the Burma Campaign of World War II. The Forgotten Battle: Jack passionately argues that Meiktila deserves recognition alongside more famous battles. He reveals how its audacious tactics and combined arms manoeuvre were pivotal in breaking the Japanese hold in Burma, yet remain overshadowed by the European theatre's narratives. Historical Context: Delve into the circumstances leading to the battle, including the strategic decisions made by General Slim and the challenges faced by the Allied forces. Jack connects the dots between past and present, drawing parallels with contemporary military operations. The Thunder Run: Experience the adrenaline of the Thunder Run, where 3,000 vehicles, including Sherman tanks, charged across the plains to capture Meiktila. Jack vividly describes the audacity of this operation and the fierce street battles that ensued, showcasing the bravery of the soldiers involved. Unpacking the Myths: Jack challenges prevailing misconceptions about the Burma Campaign, highlighting the crucial contributions of Indian and colonial troops. He emphasises the importance of acknowledging their sacrifices and the need for a broader understanding of this theatre of war. Join us for this enlightening exploration of the Battle of Meiktila, where we confront historical amnesia and celebrate the stories that deserve to be told. Stay tuned for more episodes of History Rage, where we continue to challenge the narratives that shape our understanding of the past.

Grundaren av Kommissionen för skattenytta och tidigare näringslivstoppen Leif Östling intervjuas av Magnus Thorén. Med uttalanden som ”Vad fan får jag för pengarna?” och ”Tysken är ju expert på Blitzkrieg” har Leif Östling skapat rubriker. Han har hyllats som en av få företagsledare som vågat tala öppet om samhällsproblem, men också beskyllts för att sprida fördomar. Efter åren som vd på Scania och ordförande för Svenskt näringsliv gav han sig i kast med att göra nåt åt det han beskriver som slöseriet med skattepengar. Hur mycket slöseri har Leif Östling hittat? Är det verkligen självklart att fler friskolor ger bättre kunskaper och hur illa ute är svensk industri nu när Kina har kommit ikapp oss inom allt från elbilar till AI?

At the start of World War II, France was still a world power. The U.S. and many other nations were relying on the French, along with their ally Britian, to stop Hitler. But in just 6 weeks in May and June 1940, the Germans conquered France, Belgium, and The Netherlands; and drove the British off of continental Europe. The incredibly swift German victory completely changed the balance of power in the world; and woke up the isolationist United States.

Alex Kane is a fiercely inventive guitarist, songwriter, and musical visionary whose career has spanned decades and continents. Best known for his work with bands like Life Sex & Death, Marky Ramone's Blitzkrieg, Antiproduct, and Enuff Z'Nuff, Kane is one of rock's true cult heroes—a player whose style fuses punk ferocity, glam flamboyance, metal precision, and a sense of showmanship that feels equal parts Ziggy Stardust and Sid Vicious.Born in Chicago, Alex Kane grew up soaking in a wild mix of musical influences—from KISS and The Sex Pistols to Cheap Trick and Queen. He picked up the guitar early and soon developed a sound that combined attitude with technical flair. His Chicago roots also gave him a gritty, no-nonsense approach that would become a signature element of his music.Life, Sex & Death (L.S.D.)Kane first gained national attention in the early '90s as the guitarist and primary songwriter for the controversial and utterly unique band Life Sex & Death. Known for blending sleaze-rock with raw punk energy and philosophical lyrics, the band featured a homeless-savant frontman named Stanley, who became a kind of underground legend.Their debut album, The Silent Majority (1992), released on Warner Bros., drew critical acclaim and cult fascination. Songs like “Tank,” “School's for Fools,” and “Jawohl Asshole” were full of snarling riffs, sharp social commentary, and theatrical swagger. Though commercial success was elusive, the band's live shows and Kane's explosive playing style left a lasting mark on the rock underground.Post-LSD & AntiproductAfter the dissolution of L.S.D., Kane relocated to the UK and co-founded Antiproduct, a glam-punk power-pop explosion that further stretched his musical boundaries. Antiproduct quickly developed a rabid UK fan base with their high-energy shows and outrageous visual style.Their album Consume and Die… The Rest Is All Fun showcased Kane's diverse influences—from Ramones-speed punk to Beatles-style melody—wrapped in crunchy guitars and rebellious hooks. The band was hailed in the British press as a breath of fresh air, and they toured relentlessly with artists like The Wildhearts and Wednesday 13.Collaborations & Side ProjectsAlex Kane is known for his prolific collaborations. He played guitar with Marky Ramone's Blitzkrieg, joining the punk legend for international tours and celebrating the legacy of The Ramones with thunderous authenticity. His stage presence and aggressive playing perfectly matched the spirit of the punk classics.Kane has also worked with an array of artists across genres including Pretty Boy Floyd, Richie Ramone, and Shameless, and has guested on countless albums. A fearless player, he's comfortable shredding on heavy metal tracks, laying down sleazy glam riffs, or playing melodic hooks with pop sensibility.Enuff Z'Nuff & Recent WorkIn recent years, Kane returned to his Chicago roots and joined Enuff Z'Nuff for several tours, bringing a harder-edged guitar vibe to the band's power-pop and psychedelic-tinged catalog. His addition reinvigorated the band's sound onstage, and his chemistry with Chip Z'Nuff made him a fan-favorite during live shows.Kane also continues to produce, write, and record solo material. His sharp wit, eclectic taste, and raw energy continue to push creative boundaries. He's known for mentoring young musicians and remaining fiercely independent in an industry often driven by trends and compromise.LegacyAlex Kane's legacy is one of rebellion, craft, and fearless creativity. He's not just a guitar player—he's a musical mischief-maker and a genre-blending explorer. While he may have flown under the mainstream radar, those who know Kane's work recognize him as one of the most exciting and original rock guitarists of his generation.https://www.instagram.com/alexfuckingkane?igsh=MTV1OWhuaGt1NWNlbA==

Apple, like all successful companies, became successful by maximizing profits and minimizing costs. However, to achieve this, they sold their soul to America's biggest adversary: the Chinese Communist Party. The story of how this transpired is chronicled in exceptional detail by my guest, Patrick McGee, who joins me to discuss his book “Apple in China: The Capture of the World's Greatest Company” and explains whether or not he believes Trump can return manufacturing to America. - - -  Today's Sponsor: Balance of Nature - Go to https://balanceofnature.com and use promo code KLAVAN for 35% off your first order PLUS get a free bottle of Fiber and Spice.

Den 10 maj 1940 gick Nazityskland till anfall mot Nederländerna och Belgien. Fem veckor senare undertecknade Frankrike ett vapenstillestånd med Tyskland, som då ockuperade två tredjedelar av landet.Adolf Hitler hade spelat högt igen – och vunnit. Den åldrande franska militära ledningen var inte förberedd på ett modernt, rörligt krig. I stället var de fast i ett defensivt tänkande, samtidigt som tyskarna rusade fram i Europa med sina pansarkolonner, radiosamband och anfallsflyg.Detta är det fjärde avsnittet i en serie av sju om andra världskriget från podden Historia Nu. Programledaren Urban Lindstedt samtalar med Martin Hårdstedt, professor i historia, om orsakerna bakom Frankrikes nederlag 1940. Hur kunde en av Europas mäktigaste arméer lamslås på så kort tid? Vilka militära misstag begicks, och vilken roll spelade politisk instabilitet och defaitism?Våren 1940 betraktades Frankrike fortfarande som en av Europas starkaste militärmakter, och dess allians med Storbritannien skulle fungera som en motvikt mot Nazityskland. Men mellan den 10 maj och den 22 juni föll landet samman under den tyska blixtkrigstaktiken.Fransmännen förlitade sig på defensiva strategier med Maginotlinjen, en rad fortifikationer längs gränsen mot Tyskland. Man antog att om tyskarna anföll skulle det ske genom Belgien, vilket gjorde att huvuddelen av den franska armén placerades där.Den tyska offensiven – Fall Gelb – överraskade dock de allierade genom att fokusera på ett blixtsnabbt pansaranfall genom Ardennerna, en terräng som de franska generalerna trodde var omöjlig att passera med stora mekaniserade förband. När tyskarna bröt igenom vid Sedan den 13–15 maj blev den franska armén snabbt demoraliserad och splittrad.Den franska arméns sammanbrott var inte enbart militärt. Landet led av djup politisk splittring, och defaitismen var utbredd bland både politiker och militärer. Det franska ledarskapet, under premiärminister Paul Reynaud, var osäkert på hur det skulle agera. När situationen blev ohållbar avgick Reynaud den 16 juni och ersattes av marskalk Philippe Pétain, som omedelbart inledde förhandlingar med Tyskland.Efter kapitulationen delades Frankrike in i två zoner: den norra delen ockuperades av Tyskland, medan den södra delen, med Vichy som huvudstad, styrdes av den nya Vichyregimen under Pétain. Formellt var Vichyfrankrike en självständig stat, men i praktiken var det en vasallstat som samarbetade med Nazityskland. Regimen införde hårda restriktioner, anpassade sig till tysk antisemitisk politik och deltog aktivt i deportationer av judar till koncentrationsläger.Pétains beslut att samarbeta med Tyskland vilade på tron att det var det enda sättet att bevara viss fransk autonomi och undvika ytterligare lidande. För många fransmän sågs detta dock som förräderi, och Vichyregimen har kommit att symbolisera en skamfylld period i landets historia.Bild: Tyska Panzer I och Panzer II i en skog i maj 1940.

You might have noticed that I kind of used the same title twice in a row, which might seem like kind of lazy writing, but I really couldn't think of a better title to describe what is about to happen.  Since Germany had such easy success in the blitzkrieg of Poland, Hitler decide that they could do it to France too.  And basically, that's exactly what they do.  In fact, they were maybe even more successful in France.  Website:  shortwalkthroughhistory.comemail:  shortwalkthroughhistory@gmail.com

Michael Savage explores the question of whether Donald Trump is moving too fast in his policies and actions.

JB White returns to Florida victorious, and fired up, after the Gators claim the national basketball title in a heart-stopping Final Four finish. The episode opens with a passionate breakdown of Florida's championship run, the politics behind NCAA seeding, and why Bubba Cunningham's bracket manipulation couldn't stop the mighty Gators from making history. JB dishes out well-earned SEC swagger while reflecting on the broader cultural and psychological impact of the win. But once the celebration winds down, the conversation turns to high-stakes geopolitics. JB reads and responds to a powerful thread from JustAnotherPod and its reply, both laying out the economic and strategic gamble behind Trump's aggressive global realignment. From trade wars and military posturing to treasury manipulation and NATO pressure, JB breaks down how Trump's team is executing an “economic blitzkrieg”, a full-spectrum strategy to collapse China's industrial rise, rewire the world economy, and defang globalist control. He sharply critiques the "Sovereign Alliance" theory, dismisses Putin's “gas station” empire, and reasserts Trump's dominance as a geopolitical chess master executing Sun Tzu's playbook. The show closes with a harsh rebuke of lawless judges, a shoutout to SCOTUS's latest Trump victory, and a reminder that what we're witnessing is not chaos, it's a methodical takedown of a corrupt system. Packed with insight, fire, and Florida pride, this episode proves JB White is in championship form himself.

“Of the 403,272 tank soldiers (including a small number of women) who were trained by the Red Army in the war, 310,000 would die. Even the most optimistic troops knew what would happen when a tank was shelled. The white-hot flash of the explosion would almost certainly ignite the tank crew's fuel and ammunition. At best, the crew—or those at least who had not been decapitated or dismembered by the shell itself—would have no more than ninety seconds to climb out of their cabin. Much of that time would be swallowed up as they struggled to open the heavy, sometimes red-hot, hatch, which might have jammed after the impact anyway. The battlefield was no haven, but it was safer than the armored coffin that would now begin to blaze, its metal components to melt. This was not simply “boiling up.” The tank would also torch the atmosphere around it. By then, there could be no hope for the men inside. Not unusually, their bodies were so badly burned that the remains were inseparable. “Have you burned yet?” was a question tank men often asked each other when they met for the first time. A dark joke from this stage in the war has a politruk informing a young man that almost every tank man in his group has died that day. “I'm sorry,” the young man replies. “I'll make sure that I burn tomorrow.”Catherine Merridale, Ivan's War: Life and Death in the Red Army, 1939-1945

Ok, here we are, poised right on the edge of World War II.  I'm going to try to not bog down as much as I did on the US Civil War, but I still have 9 episodes planned to cover World War II.  Is that bogging down?  I can't imagine doing it in less episodes than that.  Too much interesting and important stuff is about to happen.  Also, what happens during the war, including who wins which battles, who gains and loses territory, and what happens to governments during and after the war will make a big difference in our modern world.  So to set the stage for all that happens geopolitically after the war, we have to look pretty closely at what happens during the war.   Plus, World War II was kind of the last time that the world made any sense, and we'll need to talk about that at some point.  Anyway, at the end of our last episode, we left about 106 German divisions poised along the Polish border.  That's not an ominous sign, is it?Website:  shortwalkthroughhistory.comemail:  shortwalkthroughhistory@gmail.com

This is the real March Madness. Donald Trump has continued to disgrace America—underscored most vividly by his White House meeting with Zelensky last week.

Today we TRY to make some sense of it all so regular people are prepared for what is coming with a fascinating new guest who I hope will become a regular guest. Greg Mannarino is a brilliant, frank speaking Wall Street analyst with the wisdom to know what time it is. He reaches millions each month with clearheaded analysis minus the fear mongering and partisan spin. He trains his people to be LIONS who never fear, but always prepare for opportunities amidst the chaos. Also known as ‘The Robin Hood Of Wall Street' Greg has consistently looked out for the little guy. His analysis is particularly relevant today as we brace for tectonic political, social and economic turmoil. He's also very funny and I could use a laugh today.

”It was really sort of a Blitzkrieg assault approach where I wrote many, many scripts and emailed everybody I knew, and entered scripts into screenwriting competitions. “While I was living in New York I paid for a pitch fest in L.A. I flew out there to this event where you had five minutes to pitch different companies, like Lionsgate Motion Pictures. It was like speed dating for screenwriters. Eventually, I got one of my scripts into the hands of The Asylum and that eventually became ‘Born Bad,' which was a made-for Lifetime TV movie. When they told me they liked that script and they wanted me, well, that was amazing!” Jared Cohn is a film/TV director, writer, and producer based in Los Angeles, CA. He has directed over 50 films that have been produced and distributed by major studios and distributed by major studios and production companies such as Netflix, Hulu, Showtime, Syfy, Lifetime, and many more. His new book, 50 Movies Made: Lessons Learned on a Filmmaker's Journey, chronicles his life through the Hollywood trenches and how he achieved his lifelong dream on the other side.
