Podcasts about Ludendorff

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the life and role of one of the most significant figures in early 20th Century German history. Paul von Hindenburg (1847-1934) had been famous since 1914 as the victorious commander at the Battle of Tannenberg against Russian invaders, soon burnishing this fame on the Western Front and Hindenburg was to claim he would have won there too, if enemies at home had not 'stabbed Germany in the back'. He won Germany's Presidential election twice during the Weimar Republic, as a candidate of national unity and, while he gained his second term as a ‘stop Hitler' candidate, President Hindenburg was to appoint Hitler as Chancellor and transfer some of his charisma onto him – a move so disastrous that Germans were later to ask if the myth of Hindenburg had always been an illusion.

El día 7 de marzo de 1945, una avanzadilla de la Novena División Acorazada de los Estados Unidos realizó una incursión para tomar el puente Ludendorff, en Remagen, permitiendo así a las unidades blindadas cruzar el río para atacar directamente el punto más vulnerable de la gran Alemania.

My good friend Xavier Lewis comes on the podcast to discuss his dissertation topic.   General Edmond Buat had an idea and devised a plan to defeat the German army on the Western front in World War I. A study of his diary, the notes he wrote and his later writings on German generals Ludendorff  and Hindenburg, shows how his plan and the Réserve Générale de l'Artillerie Lourde (Heavy Artillery General Reserve, “RGAL”) he created constitute an incipient form of operational art as well as the basis for the French Army's offensives in the summer of 1918.   Xavier's research considers how Buat's diary, his writings, and notes reveal his role in developing the plans for the 1918 offensives and how the RGAL was conceived as an instrument specially adapted for them. It also shows how those plans represented an important conceptual shift in operational thinking to find a new way to expel the German army from French territory. It focuses on the ideas behind the creation of the RGAL, not on the political, industrial and procurement aspects and seeks to plug a gap identified by historian Sir Michael Howard who complained that:  "British military historians […] found it difficult to focus on an analysis of the operations themselves.”   Do listen for a great conversation.   The BFWWP is on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/BattlesoftheFirstWorldWarPodcast.    Any questions, comments or concerns please contact me through the website, www.firstworldwarpodcast.com.

In deze aflevering van De Geschiedenisreis richten we onze blik op het Oostfront tijdens de Eerste Wereldoorlog, een minder bekend, maar cruciaal strijdtoneel van 1914. Terwijl de aandacht vaak uitgaat naar het Westfront, ontvouwden zich aan de oostkant van Europa veldslagen van epische proporties die de loop van de oorlog diepgaand beïnvloedden.We bespreken de Slag bij Tannenberg, waar Duitse troepen onder leiding van Hindenburg en Ludendorff een spectaculaire overwinning behaalden tegen de Russen. Daarnaast verkennen we hoe Oostenrijk-Hongarije worstelde om stand te houden tegen Russische aanvallen en hoe miscommunicatie, strategische fouten en onverwachte successen het front constant in beweging hielden.Hoe verliep de oorlog in deze uitgestrekte en onvoorspelbare landschappen? Wat betekenden deze veldslagen voor de betrokken landen, en hoe zagen de soldaten deze strijd? Duik mee in de verhalen van moed, misleiding en geopolitieke machtsspelletjes die het Oostfront in 1914 kenmerkten.Fan Mail! Wil je iets leuks delen, doe het hier!

Ludendorff's final gamble has failed, fizzling out like every mass offensive of this war. The war is now unwinnable for Germany. But the Germans won't admit it, and can't find anyone to sign an armistice. Eventually someone is found, and the myth of the “stab in the back” begins to be written, a myth that … Continue reading "World War Civ 47: Germany Collapses 1918"

Kleine Spöttelei über den abgehalfterten Weltkriegsgeneral Ludendorff, der nur in Uniform etwas hermachte - weiß doch schon das Stubenmädchen: "Zivil ist allemal schädlich." (Weltbühne, 9.12.1924)

With peace in the East, Germany can finally try to win the war against France in the West, and the clock is ticking before America's troops make the war unwinnable. In addition to assembling a gigantic army and the largest artillery barrage in history, Ludendorff introduces Storm Troopers and a new tactic of “infiltration” past … Continue reading "World War Civ 46: Ludendorff's Last Gamble Spring 1918"

Am 8. November 1924 jährte sich der sog. Hitler-Ludendorff-Putsch. Während Ludendorff für seine Beteiligung nicht bestraft wurde, wurde Hitler zu einer fünfjährigen Haft verurteilt, im Herbst 1924 verdichteten sich aber bereits die Hinweise, dass er vorzeitig entlassen werden könnte. Das Hamburger Echo nahm am 7. November den Jahrestag zum Anlass nach Bayern zu schauen und abzuwägen, ob die politischen Akteure und Netzwerke resilienter gegen Umsturzversuche wären. Rosa Leu führt uns durch diese Bestandsaufnahme.

Vid slaget vid Tannenberg i slutet av augusti 1914 lyckades Paul von Hindenburgs 8:e armé lura in och slå en ring runt den ryska Samsonovs 2:a armé på östfronten. Manövern var så lyckosam att Samsonovs armé blev totalt tillintetgjord, och slaget har sedan dess blivit ett av första världskrigets mest mytomspunna.Slaget ledde omedelbart till politiska förvecklingar, och för den pensionerade officeren Hindenburg blev slaget starten på en lång politisk karriär som vi får anledning att återkomma till senare i vår serie om första världskriget.I dagens avsnitt av Militärhistoriepodden berättar idéhistorikern Peter Bennesved och professorn i historia Martin Hårdstedt om Slaget vid Tannenberg 1914.Tyskland hade flyttat fram en av sina arméer på ca 200 000 man upp till den östra fronten för att där försena en rysk frammarsch i väntan på en fransk kapitulation. Denna leddes först av von Prittwitz. Ryssarna mötte upp med två arméer under Rennenkampf respektive Samsonov. Till en början var Prittwitz försiktig och beordrade ordnade reträtter västerut. Men den defensiva attityden uppskattades inte av överkommandot, och snart blev von Prittwitz ersatt av Paul von Hindenburg. Med Hindenburg hoppades man på en offensiv taktik med det yttersta målet att slå ut de ryska arméerna, trots det uppenbara numerära underläget. Erich von Ludendorff, som nyligen hade bevisat sin förmåga i slaget om Liège på västfronten blev Hindenburgs stabschef och följde med.Efter att ha anlänt på plats såg de två en möjlighet att exploatera det faktum att de ryska arméerna separerades från varandra på var sin sida om de Masuriska sjöarna. Hindenburg tog initiativet och försökte sig på en omfattning av Samsonovs 2:a armé, söder om sjöarna, medan Rennenkampf fortsatte västerut. Det var ett vågspel som hade kunnat misslyckas om Rennenkampf vädrat Hindenburgs intentioner, och fallit in i Hindenburgs rygg. Men det lyckades och resultatet blev häpnadsväckande. Hindenburgs 8:e armé tog över 90 000 krigsfångar och över 70 000 ryska soldater miste livet, i utbyte mot ca 12 000 tyska förluster.Bild: Tyskt infanteri under slaget vid Tannenberg 1914. Wikipedia.

Soll weiter ein gewaltsamer Umsturz gesucht werden, soll mit Parteien versucht werden die Wahlen zu gewinnen? Vor dieser Frage standen die völkischen und nationalsozialistischen Gruppierungen im Jahre 1924. Infolge des Hitler-Ludendorff-Putsches 1923 waren die NSDAP verboten und Hitler inhaftiert. In der Folgezeit gab es mehrere Bemühungen, etwa betrieben von Ludendorff, einzelne völkische Parteien und die Nationalsozialisten für die Wahlen zu Fraktionen zu verbinden, oder darüber hinaus eine völkische Sammelpartei zu etablieren. In diesem Kontext ist auch die Gründung der „Nationalsozialistischen Freiheitsbewegung“ zu betrachten, die sich auf einer völkischen Tagung in Weimar am 16. und 17. August versammelte. Der Bericht im Hamburger Fremdenblatt zeigt deutlich das Bemühen der diversen Gruppierungen um eine straff organisierte Partei nach dem Führerprinzip und legt zugleich auch die Uneinigkeit zwischen den einzelnen Machtgruppen offen. Tatsächlich war dieser Zusammenschluss, den Teile der Nationalsozialisten bei den Wahlen boykottierten, spätestens mit der Haftentlassung Hitlers Ende des Jahres und der anschließenden Wiederzulassung der NSDAP Geschichte. Es liest Frank Riede.

In this episode we look at the Kaiserschlact, or Kaiser's Battle which was launched by the Germans in March 1918, a final roll of the dice to win the war before American superiority in arms and men came to the fore.Logistical problems tempered initial successes, and by early summer, the advance had faltered.  On the 8th of August, the Allies counter-attacked with an offensive near Amiens that captured nearly 15,000 men and saw estimated German losses of 30,000.  Ludendorff described it as the "black day of the German army"Support the podcast:https://www.patreon.com/footstepsofthefallenhttps://www.buymeacoffee.com/footstepsblog

In questa lezione partiamo dal racconto del dopoguerra tedesco, tra le ceneri del secondo impero tedesco di Guglielmo II. Le premesse sono i trattati di pace di Versailles, il conseguente mito della pugnalata alle spalle, i disordini del biennio rosso con le violenze di strada commesse dai rivoluzionari comunisti della Lega di Spartaco e i Freikorps della destra più retriva e intollerante. Seguiamo lo sprofondare della vita economica del paese nel caos nel 1923, mentre la fragile democrazia di Weimar stenta a decollare. Giunge a questo punto la svolta del Putsch di Monaco del generale Ludendorff e del semisconosciuto Adolf Hitler. Introducendo il personaggio, non possiamo esimerci dal raccontarne per sommi capi la biografia, fino a ricongiungerci con il 1923, giusto in tempo per sentir pronunciare al suo indirizzo una mite condanna, che darà al leader di un minuscolo partito l'occasione di redigere un'opera che sintetizza un'ideologia criminale: il Mein Kampf. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/stefano-dambrosio5/message

L'esercito austroungarico subisce una delle peggiori disfatte militari della sua storia. Le perdite ammontano a centinaia di migliaia, e un'intera regione, con la sua capitale, una delle città più importanti dell'impero, viene occupata dai Russi. Più a nord, in Prussia Orientale, Ludendorff prepara la resa dei conti contro la 1a armata russa di Von Rennenkampf.Seguimi su Instagram: @laguerragrande_podcastScritto e condotto da Andrea BassoMontaggio e audio: Andrea BassoCon la partecipazione di Mattia Cappello, Zeno Du Ban e Matteo RibolliFonti dell'episodio:Robert B.

Nella primavera del'45 l'offensiva degli alleati sul fronte occidentale rischiava di arrestarsi davanti ad un ostacolo praticamente insuperabile, se non a costo di gravi perdite, il fiume Reno, di cui i tedeschi in ritirata avevano fatto saltare tutti i ponti. In forma inattesa, e sorprendente anche per loro, gli americani si trovarono di fronte, a Remagen, ad un ponte ancora intatto, il ponte Ludendorff; per la conquista e la difesa di questo ponte gli americani scrissero pagine di autentico eroismo, ma ne valse la pena; il passaggio a Remagen aprì agli americani le porte della Germania.

I also try to gauge and assess just how fashy Claus's upbringing was, was it overtly and explicitly fash, was it IDWesque in trying to mask the bigotry… or was it a bit of both? Claus peels back the layers and helps us understand what got him out of that bigoted worldview, what kind of damage it did to the people around him, and how he sees echoes of it in present day culty, conspiracist circles. —— Links Eric Ludendorff: “The Nazis distanced themselves from Ludendorff because of his eccentric conspiracy theories In 1926, Ludendorff divorced Margarethe Schmidt and married his second wife Mathilde von Kemnitz (1877–1966).

Il piano messo a punto da Hoffman, Ludendorff e Von Hindenburg è pronto a partire. Nel corso di cinque giorni di battaglia, Tedeschi e Russi si affronteranno in una delle più grandi e decisive battaglie della Prima Guerra Mondiale. Sebbene a livello di numero di uomini impiegati lo scontro fu più piccolo rispetto alla battaglia delle frontiere, il tributo in sangue e distruzione pagato dallo sconfitto fu in proporzione quattro volte maggiore alla media di un singolo scontro del fronte occidentale.Scritto e condotto da Andrea BassoMontaggio e audio: Andrea BassoCon la partecipazione di Zeno Du Ban, Federico Menis e Matteo RibolliFonti dell'episodio:Robert B.

Würde sich die Republik diesmal als wehrhaft erweisen oder ihr der in großen Teilen illoyale, weil aus der Kaiserzeit übernommene Justizapparat wieder in den Rücken fallen? Die Spannung vor dem Prozess gegen die Putschisten vom 9. November 1923 war groß, und die Presse brachte sich bereits Wochen vor dessen Auftakt in Position. Aus der zuverlässig republikanischen Berliner Volks-Zeitung vom 6. Februar 1924 erfahren wir, dass man in den rechten Blättern wohl vor allem versuchte, für die Person Ludendorffs Stimmung zu machen und nichts unversucht ließ, Einfluss auf das Gericht in seiner Angelegenheit, aber auch in der des bayerischen Generalstaatskommissars Gustav von Kahr und der des Landeskommandanten der Reichswehr in Bayern Otto von Lossow auszuüben. Letztere wurden tatsächlich beide nur als Zeugen geladen und Ludendorff als einziger Angeklagter schließlich freigesprochen – ein Schelm, wer Böses dabei denkt. Es liest Paula Rosa Leu.

Angeblich springen sie über Särge, bringen blutige Tieropfer dar und wollen, ganz nebenbei, noch die Weltherrschaft an sich reißen - um die Freimaurer ranken sich, wie um fast jeden langständigen Geheimbund, zahllose Legenden. Die Gemeinschaft mit prominenten Mitgliedern wie Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Voltaire oder Johann Wolfgang von Goethe existiert schon seit geraumer Zeit und ihr wird immer wieder ein großer Einfluss nachgesagt - das hat den Nazis natürlich ganz und gar nicht gefallen. Vor allem Ludendorff war an einer anti-freimaurerischen Propaganda beteiligt, die Hitler später in "Mein Kampf" und seiner Philosophie aufgriff. Ihr Fazit: Die Freimaurerei ist eine einzige, große Judenverschwörung. Die spannende Geschichte der Freimaurerei im Dritten Reich erzählen wir in der heutigen Podcast-Folge.

Die bekanntlich sehr milden strafrechtlichen Konsequenzen für die Beteiligten des Hitler-Ludendorff-Putsches wurden in einem Prozess ab dem 26. Februar 1924 festgelegt. Das juristische Vorspiel zu diesem Prozess begann allerdings unmittelbar nach dem Putsch. Die Staatsanwaltschaft sprach mit den Rechtsbeiständen der Festgesetzten und bereitete den Prozess vor. Ein Ziel der Untersuchungen war es, Licht in die Vorgeschichte des Putsches zu bringen. Gerade die Frage, wie sehr Hitler v. Kahr und Lossow gezwungen hatte mitzumachen, bzw. inwieweit diese im Vorfeld dem Putsch zugestimmt hatten, stand im Vordergrund. Das Berliner Tageblatt druckte am 10. Dezember 1923 die Ausführungen von Hitlers Anwalt, Lorenz Roder, ab, zusammen mit den Kommentaren des Generalstaatskommissariats. Egal was genau abgesprochen war zwischen v. Kahr, Lossow, Ludendorff und Hitler, ganz deutlich ist, dass alle ganz offen einen politischen Umsturz planten, lediglich in den Mitteln und im Timing gab es zwischen ihnen Differenzen. Für uns begibt sich Frank Riede in das juristische Klein-Klein von Aussage gegen Aussage.

Wie gestern angekündigt, kommt heute wegen des Buchdruckerstreiks eine Zeitung zu Wort, die wir selten durchforsten: die Niederbarnimer Zeitung. In ihrer Ausgabe vom 12. November 1923, die 30 Milliarden Mark kostete, widmet sie sich Erich Ludendorff, der 3 Tage zuvor zusammen mit Hitler den Marsch auf die Feldherrenhalle angeführt hatte und noch am selben Tage verhaftet worden war. Würde er im Gefängnis landen? Schon nach seiner Beteiligung am Kapp-Putsch im Jahre 1920 war er glimpflich davongekommen, zehrte von seinem Nimbus als Held des Ersten Weltkriegs. Während wir im Laufe des Novembers in anderen Zeitungen bissige und sogar vernichtende Kommentare zu Ludendorff finden, wird er hier sehr milde für seine Rolle beim Putsch kritisiert – damit hat der Artikel eine Tendenz, die sich auch bei der Justiz durchsetzen sollte, denn Ludendorff wurde auch für diese verräterische Handlung aufgrund der angeblichen großen Verdienste im Ersten Weltkrieg freigesprochen. Was es in Friedrichshagen, Rahnsdorf und Fichtenau dazu zu lesen gab, teilt uns Paula Rosa Leu mit.

Der Spuk dauerte nur ein paar Stunden. Dann hatte die Staatsmacht in München die Ordnung wieder hergestellt, und der sogenannte Hitler-Ludendorff-Putsch war Geschichte. Die Berliner Tageszeitungen konnten sich bereits tags darauf daran machen, die Lehren aus dessen Geschichte zu ziehen. Zu den klarsten Stimmen gehörte dabei wie fast immer die von Ernst Feder, der sich in seinem Kommentar im Berliner Tageblatt nur kurz mit den Hauptdarstellern dieser – wie er es nannte – „Hanswurstiade“ aufhielt, um stattdessen eher nach denjenigen zu schauen, die er in der politischen Verantwortung dafür sah, dass sich die Republik fürderhin wehrhafter gegen ihre völkischen Feinde zeigen müsste. Dass man leider zu wenig auf ihn und andere hören sollte, ist bekannt – und eher nicht der Tatsache geschuldet, dass man für die Zeitung am 10. November 1923 30 Milliarden Mark entrichten musste. Es liest Frank Riede.

Im November 1923 erlebte die junge deutsche Republik ihre bis dato fraglos existentiellste Krise. An Rhein und Ruhr standen nach wie vor französische Besatzungstruppen, die zum Teil gemeinsame Sache mit separatistischen Gruppen machten, welche eine Abspaltung vom Reich propagierten, und in Bayern bliesen Hitler, Ludendorff und andere rechte Frontmänner zum Marsch auf die Feldherrenhalle und zum Sturm auf die gewählte Reichsregierung in Berlin. Die Berliner Morgenpost richtete ihr Augenmerk in der Ausgabe vom 7. des Monats – Kostenpunkt 15 Milliarden Mark – derweil auf einen dritten schwelenden Krisenherd, nämlich auf Sachsen und in diesem Fall vor allem Thüringen, wo es seit einigen Wochen Regierungsbündnisse aus SPD und KPD gab und man gleichfalls eine revolutionäre Bedrohung für die parlamentarische Weimarer Verfassung ausmachte. Anders als bei den zahlreichen Umsturzplänen aus dem völkischen Freikorpslager schickte man zur Bannung dieser Gefahr präventiv Reichswehreinheiten. Alles Weitere erfahren wir von Paula Rosa Leu.

Weder antisemitisch noch rassistisch - so beschriebt sich der "Bund für Deutsche Gotterkenntnis (Ludendorff)" selbst. Gerne stellt die Gruppe ihre Gründerin als Widerstandskämpferin gegen Hitler dar. Warum all das nicht zutrifft und was sich wirklich hinter diesem Netzwerk verbirgt, schauen wir uns in dieser Folge genauer an.

Il colpo vibrato dal maglietto del giudice Georg Neithardt sul battente risuona all'interno dell'aula di giustizia del tribunale di Monaco di Baviera a conclusione del processo che vede imputati nove soggetti, accusati di aver tentato un golpe alcuni mesi prima per rovesciare la democratica Repubblica bavarese dei Consigli. I giornali locali da più di un mese affrontano l'argomento, già chiamato gergalmente "putsch della Bürgerbräukeller", e hanno coniato un titolo apposito per il procedimento giudiziario: lo chiamano "processo Ludendorff-Hitler". Per Hitler, Hess, Emil Maurice e gli altri si aprono le porte della prigione di Landsberg dove le guardie usano loro ogni tipo di cortesia: tra quelle mura il futuro dittatore trascorrerà poco meno di nove mesi di detenzione prima del rilascio per buona condotta, sfruttando tale tempo per dettare ai suoi collaboratori il manifesto politico che sarà alla base della sua attività nei nove anni futuri e che costituirà un vero programma per la presa del potere.Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/racconti-di-storia-podcast--5561307/support.

In what became known as the Beer Hall Putsch, the Nazis seize power in Munich, now intending to march on Berlin and announce a national dictatorship led by Hitler. But first they must take control of all the police forces and the infantry barracks, and it's essential they shut down the telephone exchange and radio transmitters. It is a night of chaos. And is the Army really on their side or do they have their own coup planned?

In On a Knife Edge: How Germany Lost the First World War (Cambridge UP, 2022), Holger Afflerbach argues that the outcome of the war was actually in the balance until relatively late in the war. Using new evidence from diaries, letters and memoirs, he fundamentally revises our understanding of German strategy from the decision to go to war and the failure of the western offensive to the radicalisation of Germany's war effort under Hindenburg and Ludendorff and the ultimate collapse of the Central Powers. He uncovers the struggles in wartime Germany between supporters of peace and hardliners who wanted to fight to the finish. He suggests that Germany was not nearly as committed to all-out conquest as previous accounts argue. Numerous German peace advances could have offered the opportunity to end the war before it dragged Europe into the abyss. Charles Coutinho, PH. D., Associate Fellow of the Royal Historical Society, received his doctorate from New York University. His area of specialization is 19th and 20th-century European, American diplomatic and political history.

Ep 44: Jay Lockenour on Erich Ludendorff  ▪️ Jay Lockenour, associate professor of history at Temple University and author of Dragonslayer: The Legend of Erich Ludendorff in the Weimar Republic and Third Reich, joins the show to talk about the life of the infamous German general and politician.  ▪️ Times  • 01:30 Introduction • 02:00 Ludendorff's Significance • 03:08 Ludendorff's Early Life • 05:02 Not Quite A Matinee Idol  • 07:13 The German General Staff • 11:43 A General Without Portfolio • 17:50 The War And The Myth  • 22:23 For The Record - The German Military Lost  • 26:12 The Early 1920's • 29:49 Erich And Adolf     • 34:10 Ludendorff And The Right • 37:00 The Holocaust And Ludendorff

This is the ninth installment in Eric Ludy's epic summer Daily Thunder series entitled Spiritual Lessons from WW1. This episode investigates the life of Erich Ludendorff and his spectacular rise to worldwide fame in and through his exploits at the Battle of Liège in August of 1914. In a general sense, Ludendorff is not a character that Christians should emulate. But when he bangs on the gates of the Citadel in Liège on April 6, 1914, he models something that should cause every Christian to sit up and take notice.

Er gilt als das strategische Mastermind des deutschen Militärs im ersten Weltkrieg und förderte nach der Niederlage 1918 den Aufstieg Adolf Hitlers: Erich von Ludendorff hatte "etwas Napoleonisches" und gehörte spätestens nach der Schlacht von Tannenberg zu den ganz großen Kriegshelden im und um das Dritte Reich. Doch der Erfolg ließ ihn größenwahnsinnig werden. Er war überzeugter Gegner der Demokratie, doch auch Hitlers Diktatur unterstütze er nicht auf Dauer. Seine Geschichte erzählen wir in der heutigen Podcast-Folge.

Historian and author Alex Clifford talks about his recent book on Hindenburg and Ludendorff and how their Great War experience assisted in the rise of Hitler and the Nazis. He explores two of twentieth-century history's most significant figures who have been largely forgotten – Paul von Hindenburg and Erich Ludendorff, Germany's First World War leaders, […]

Where to start with this bridge... Maybe with a beer? The boys learn all about one of the most pivotal bridges in military history - the Ludendorff Bridge in Germany.

Diana basks in her victory over Ludendorff, but is quickly interrupted by the continuing sound of Warfare. When Steve finally reaches Diana, he attempts to convince her to continue his mission of “stopping the War”.

Diana sees the destruction of Ludendorff and Dr. Maru’s gas released on the unsuspecting town of Veld. Diana then makes her way to confront General Ludendorff, and after an intense fight, Diana is triumphant.

As Steve Trevor appears to successfully charm Dr. Maru, his attention appears to divert to Diana, entering the Gala. As the entire room stares at the Demigod, Ludendorff leads Diana in a waltz and monologue.

Just as Dr. Maru and General Ludendorff discuss their new gaseous weapon, she decided to give Gen. Ludendorff a sample. Later, Diana and Steve Trevor make their way into London, and meet up with Etta Candy. Guest Commentator: Naomi Wong
