In this fiery episode of History Rage, host Paul Bavill welcomes back historian, journalist, and author Guy Walters to rage against the sanitized veneration of the Mitford Sisters. These interwar aristocrats have often been glamorized in books, media, and society, but beneath their glittering façade lies a much darker reality.Fascist Fables:Unity Mitford's Obsession with Hitler: Unity stalked Adolf Hitler, met him over 130 times, and became one of his closest British confidantes. Her diaries, recently unearthed and published, reveal her disturbing Nazi sympathies and personal infatuation with the Führer.Diana Mitford's Glamour and Extremism: Diana married Oswald Mosley, leader of the British Union of Fascists, in Joseph Goebbels' living room, with Hitler himself in attendance. Despite her aristocratic charm, Diana remained an unrepentant fascist even decades after the war.The Mitford Dynamic:The Extreme Spectrum: With parents steeped in fascist ideology, the Mitford siblings included fascists like Diana and Unity, alongside Jessica Mitford, an avowed communist. Guy explores how political extremism permeated the family's psyche.Romanticisation in Media: From syrupy books to glossy TV dramas, the Mitfords are too often depicted as glamorous, eccentric aristocrats, overshadowing their political extremism and disturbing sympathies.Guy's Call to Action:Stop the Mitford glorification. Shift your fascination to figures like the women of the SOE—glamorous, courageous, and committed to fighting tyranny, not enabling it.Join Guy Walters as he dismantles the myths surrounding the Mitford Sisters and rages against the misplaced admiration for these controversial figures.

In this fiery episode of History Rage, prepare to have your perceptions of the 1936 Berlin Olympics incinerated as returning provocateur Guy Walters ignites a historical inferno. Delving deep into the spectacle that was both a sporting and Nazi extravaganza, Guy dismantles the myth of Jesse Owens' victories as a blow to Hitler's Germany. He exposes the harsh reality of American attitudes towards Owens upon his return, the political machinations behind the scenes, and how the games were a resounding propaganda success for the Third Reich. Get ready to confront uncomfortable truths about the intersection of sports, politics, and racism, and how the Berlin Games set the precedent for the modern Olympics as a global stage for national showcase and diplomatic manoeuvring. This episode is a marathon of revelations, sprinting past simplistic narratives to reveal the complex legacy of the 1936 Olympics and the dangerous illusion of sport being above politics.Episode Highlights:- Guy Walters' Return: Guy brings his expertise back to History Rage with a focus on interwar Germany and the 1936 Berlin Olympics.- The Myth of Jesse Owens: Guy debunks the popular belief that Jesse Owens' triumphs humiliated Nazi Germany and Hitler.- Political and Propaganda Triumph: An exploration of how the Olympics served as a successful political and propaganda tool for the Nazis.- America's Reaction: A look at the contrasting treatment of Jesse Owens versus white athletes in America post-Olympics.- The First Modern Olympics: Guy explains why the Berlin Games were the first to truly harness the Olympics as a global event and a showcase for the host nation.- The Olympic Pause: Insights into how Nazi Germany sanitized its image during the games to hide signs of anti-Semitism and other discriminatory practices.- The Impact of Non-Boycott: The implications of the world's participation in the Berlin Games and what a potential boycott might have meant for Hitler's regime.Join us as we race through a track of historical distortions and cross the finish line with a clearer understanding of one of the most controversial Olympic Games in history.Links:- Guy Walters' Book "Berlin Games" available in The History Rage Bookshop- Follow Guy on Twitter @guywalters- Join our 'Angry Mob' on Patreon at patreon.com/historyrage for exclusive content and the coveted History Rage mug.Remember to leave us a review on Apple, Podchaser, or Amazon, and follow us on Twitter @HistoryRage for more historical revelations.

I OBJECT: SATIRE AND SUBVERSION, A HISTORY OF DISSENTToday dissent is relatively easy and commonplace. Our voices can be heard in protest, shared across social media and told through satire. But dissent is not a new phenomenon. Ian Hislop considers objects that ordinary people have created, adapted and used to mock and attack the status quo in societies as varied as Egypt in the 11th century BC, 16th century England and 20th century Afghanistan.

Even today, there are pubs and a horse race named after John of Gaunt, a 14th century prince and warrior who rose to become one of the most powerful men in England, and whose son would return from exile to claim the throne, and found the House of Lancaster. Author and historian Guy Walters talks to Helen Carr, author of The Red Prince, on how John of Gaunt schemed his way through a real-world game of thrones, becoming the forefather of all English kings and queens.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

From half a billion buried in a Polish palace to submarines full of glittering loot, ‘lost Nazi gold’ is an urban myth which refuses to die - but there IS one place where there genuinely is a huge amount of Nazi treasure still waiting to be discovered. Author and historian Guy Walters talks to World War 2 expert James Holland on why most hoards of Nazi treasure are never found - and where the thugs of the Third Reich REALLY hid their loot (so safely that it’s still there today).See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Alan Turing was the oddball genius who single-handledly broke the Enigma code, ended World War II, and was hounded to death by the ungrateful authorities over his homosexuality… right? Wrong, says his nephew Dermot Turing, who tells author and historian Guy Walters that his uncle’s story has been seriously distorted to fit in with modern-day obsessions - and that the story told in films such as The Imitation Game risks masking many of Alan Turing’s real achievements in the field of computer science. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In the year 937, the idea of Englishness came close to being wiped off the face of the Earth as four armies faced off against the shield wall of the Anglo-Saxon king Athelstan in a brutal battle which left thousands dead. Author and historian Guy Walters talks to author Michael Livingston about why the Battle of Brunanburh was so pivotal for the English - and why the battle arouses such strong passions today that Livingstone had death threats after suggesting a location where it may have taken place.

From its origins in Mesopotamia in 3,000 BC, the history of Britain’s favourite tea-time snack takes many surprising turns - from biscuit recipes made by alchemists, to sponge fingers dipped in wine by aristocrats. Author and historian Guy Walters talks to biscuit guru Elizabeth Collingham about the history of a treat which Britain eats more of than any country on Earth (and how eating Custard Creams was once seen as daringly cutting-edge).See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It was one of World War II’s most daring escapes, where dozens of POWs attempted to crawl to freedom down tunnels built under the noses of their German guards - and the 1963 Steve McQueen film became a cherished Bank Holiday favourite in Britain. But what was the real story? Author and historian Guy Walters reveals why the reality of the escape from Stalag Luft III was VERY different (and why not everyone in the camp wanted to escape in the first place). See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A small reddish-orange bead unearthed in a Viking grave in Derbyshire reveals that the Scandinavian sailors were far more than brutal warriors who loved raiding British monasteries. Author and historian Guy Walters talks to bioarchaeologist Dr Cat Jarman, who reveals how the bead helped her unravel how the Vikings engaged with the East just as much as the West, sailing across Russia by river boat and even travelling to Baghdad. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A new film tells the story of a villa in Bexhill-on-Sea which played host to an extraordinary finishing school, where the children of elite Nazis such as Himmler and von Ribbentrop learned English (while doing Nazi salutes and celebrating the Fuhrer’s birthday). Author and historian Guy Walters talks to author Adrian Weale on why the school existed at all - and the inglorious history of British believers who supported Hitler and the Third Reich.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Guy Walters joins us to talk all about this iconic WW2 event.

Wallis Simpson became the most hated woman in Britain after King Edward VIII gave up his throne for her and left the country (in a move with echoes in today’s Royal Family). Author and historian Guy Walters asks biographer Anne Sebba how alike Wallis and Meghan Markle really are - and whether we can learn any lessons from the 1936 abdication crisis as the Royal family is once again rocked by the arrival of an American woman. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As America tested the first hydrogen bomb - capable of flattening entire cities - the Cold War entered a new and deadly phase, with the Soviets, America and Britain racing to build weapons of mass destruction (including secret tests of deadly nerve agents) - and the Doomsday Clock set to two minutes to midnight for the first time. Guy Walters talks to author Roger Hermiston about why 1953 could have spelt the end of the human race.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In Episode 25 of the 'O Group' on the WW2 Nation Podcast with the anniversary fast approaching of the breakout from Stalag Luft III by Allied POWs in March 1944, we are speaking with historian Guy Walters, as we try and unravel fact from fiction behind the Real Great Escape, and that of Hollywood's 1963 classic war film the Great Escape. Music Featured: Hearts & Flowers by Jeff Kaale.

It was one of the most daring escapes of World War II: when Airey Neave walked out through the gates of Colditz, the ultra-secure camp used to house the most notorious escapers among the Allied forces. His grandson, Sebastian Neave, tells author and historian Guy Walters about his grandfather’s epic journey to freedom - and how he went on to play a key role in the trial of Nazi war criminals at Nuremeberg.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In the first of a brilliant new podcast series, author and historian Guy Walters asks whether there could be other hoards of buried treasure out there waiting to be found - like the Sutton Hoo treasure in hit Netflix film ‘The Dig’. Guy talks to Professor Mark Horton about the telltale signs on earth mounds which hint at riches within, and about the undiscovered hoards buried across England - including the lost treasure of English ruler King Penda, a brutal warlord from the 7th Century. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, we are once again joined by historian Guy Walters to discuss the fall of the Nazis, and how they were dealt with after the end of the second world war. We go in depth into the Nuremberg trials, and how they shaped the future of International law.

Guy Walters – 'Has Moscow been secretly Microwaving our soldiers for Years

On the night of 24 March 1944, 200 allied prisoners of war attempted to escape Stalag Luft III, a camp in Germany. 76 escaped, but 73 were recaptured and of those, 50 were killed. So was the Great Escape as great as its name suggests? Guy Walters isn't so sure. In this episode he spoke to Dan about the possibility that the mass breakout from Stalag Luft III actually helped the German war effort. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In the final episode of 2020, we introduce the Nazi party and look at its initial rise in Weimar Germany. We look at the Munich Putsch 1923, Hitler's sentencing and his steps towards the position of Chancellor. To help us cover all of this, we are delighted to welcome historian Guy Walters onto the pod: the very first professional on the Historic Present! Stay with us for a not-so-festive Christmas debate later on...

In the half decade after the Second World War, a stream of wanted Nazi war criminals, including Adolf Eichmann and Josef Mengele fled from Germany and escaped via Italy to Argentina and Brazil. They lived relatively openly in the established German communities in both countries and only a handful were ever brought to justice. In this special edition of the Explaining History podcast, we hear from Guy Walters, whose book, Hunting Evil examines the hidden history of this often mythologised chapter of post war history.

In part two of their conversation with historian Guy Walters, Al Murray and James Holland explore how the Second world War is viewed in Britain as the nation’s defining myth.

So much of our understanding of the Second World War is shaped by film. Perhaps the most famous example is The Great Escape. At the heart of the Polish city of Poznan, in a small glade surrounded by undulating parkland, are the graves of the 48 men who lost their lives in the breakout from Stalag Luft III in March 1944. We visit their graves and contemplate the reality behind the legend. We find out more with historian Guy Walters and and speak to veteran Victor Gregg about his experiences as a prisoner of war. Among those who would never be liberated were War Graves Commission gardeners captured during the war. At the CWGC archive, we discover their heartbreaking stories.

Was The Great Escape as great as its name suggests? Guy Walters thinks otherwise, and argues that the mass breakout from Stalag Luft III actually helped the German war effort.
