General Montgomery was a complex figure, and his legacy remains the subject of debate among historians. In this episode, I'm joined by Andrew Harrison, author of Caen, Cobra and Confusion, to examine the controversies surrounding Monty's leadership during the Normandy campaign. Central to our conversation are the misunderstandings about Monty's intentions for Caen and the American breakout at Operation Cobra, misconceptions that have played a significant role in shaping his legacy. We'll explore how events beyond the battlefield, as well as the perspectives of historians, have influenced how Montgomery's decisions are viewed today.   patreon.com/ww2podcast

National Museum of WWII Aviation Curator Gene Pfeffer discusses why winning the air war was pivotal to D-Day's success.In this episode, we'll dive into the planning and execution of air operations, the aircraft that supported the massive assault, the continued aerial support for troops after Operation Overlord, and its lasting legacy and impact on aviation. June 6, 2024, marked the 80th anniversary of D-Day and gave us the opportunity to learn more about one of the most important battles of WWII. This one is going to be cool!Key Takeaways:Gene takes us through the evolution of aircraft spurred by World War II, from biplanes to jets.Although America hadn't yet entered the war, planning for D-Day began in 1940, outlining what exactly would be required for the invasion.In 1943, it was decided that the Allies could not win the invasion without air superiority. Leading up to D-Day, the Allies focused heavily on eliminating the German Air Force as a factor, and on June 6, the German Air Force had 300 sorties while the Allies had 13,000.The day before Operation Overlord, the Allies painted invasion stripes on their airplanes under the cover of darkness. Due to the massive amount of aircraft, the paint scheme helped mitigate friendly fire.Multiple kinds of aircraft participated in the invasion and each had specific roles. To name a few, the C-47s towed gliders or dropped paratroopers, B-17s, 24s, and 26s dropped bombs, P-47s acted as flying artillery, and P-38s flew cover over the ships.After D-Day, the Allies used their air power to aid troops with strategic bombings like Operation Cobra, targeting German oil and V-2 centers, and providing medical aid.Gene encourages anyone interested in aerospace to visit your local museum and get involved.Resources:The National Museum of WWII Aviation Website Operation Overlord: D-Day (National Museum of the U.S. Air Force) Operation Overlord (Wikipedia) Air War During Operation Overlord (Wikipedia)

In the first of a two-part interview, Ray Long, veteran political reporter for the Chicago Tribune and author of The House That Madigan Built: The Record Run of Illinois' Velvet Hammer, discusses some highlights form his book, including Madigan's rise to power, when ‘time stood still' on the House floor, ‘Operation Cobra,' and the ComEd scandal.

Illinois' political world was rocked on March 2, when U.S. Attorney John Lausch announced a 22-count federal racketeering indictment against former House Speaker Michael J. Madigan. The charges allege Madigan oversaw a criminal enterprise to preserve and enhance his political power and finances, reward allies for their loyalty, and generate income for members and associates through illegal activities. Based on other indictments and reporting, it was clear Madigan had been in the feds' crosshairs for some time, but it was never clear when they might strike… or even if they could. For so long, Madigan had been seen as un-topple-able, or too savvy to say or do anything that could get himself in trouble. Madigan, meanwhile, has maintained his innocence. Here to discuss all things Madigan is Chicago Tribune reporter Ray Long, author of a new book: The House that Madigan Built: The Record Run of Illinois' Velvet Hammer. Long is a two-time Pulitzer Prize finalist who has covered the state Capitol, City Hall, the courts and the county, two governors who went to prison and a state senator who went to the White House. Long has covered Springfield for 40 years. The book offers a play-by-play of how Madigan accumulated power over his decades-long career: how he helped keep the Chicago White Sox from moving to Florida, a sneak-attack tax hike under the name Operation Cobra, and the impeachment of Rod Blagojevich. It also explores how Madigan pushed job recommendations at Metra, how his position impacted the political aspirations of his daughter, Lisa Madigan, and the beginning of the end of his tenure atop the House. Long talks about all of that, as well as if he believes the Chicago Machine is now, effectively, dead; the difficult task the feds have in proving the difference between routine politics and a criminal offense; and what really motivated the Velvet Hammer.

In this episode Anne Marie talks  to La Percée du Bocage museum president, Billy Leblond and Men in the Shed Blogger, Colin Foster about Operation Bluecoat and the story behind Men in the Shed. Men in the Shed tells the story of 18 Allied POWs who literally left their mark on the wall of a wooden shed owned by a French baker in Normandy. The shed (commandeered by the German military) became a temporary jail  for Allied POW's during the fighting following the D Day landings in 1944. "Operation Bluecoat was a British offensive in the Battle of Normandy, from 30 July until 7 August 1944, during the Second World War. The geographical objectives of the attack, undertaken by the VIII Corps and XXX Corps of the British Second Army (Lieutenant-General Miles Dempsey), were to secure the road junction of Vire and the high ground of Mont Pinçon."The attack was made at short notice to exploit the success of Operation Cobra by the First US Army after it broke out on the western flank of the Normandy beachhead and to exploit the withdrawal of the 2nd Panzer Division from the Caumont area, to take part in Unternehmen Lüttich (Operation Liège) a German counter-offensive against the Americans."     — WikipediaColin Foster has been interested in the Second World War from an early age. According to Colin, " being born in 1959 meant that he grew up in an age where good quality war movies were regularly made!"He is a regular visitor to Normandy since 2002 when he started researching the Normandy campaign as the result of his friend stubmling upon the names, ranks, serial numbers and dates of capture of 18 Allied soldiers, written on one of the inside walls of his shed. The old wooden shed, which once served as a grainstore, sits behind what used to be the village bakery in the small Normandy village of St Vigor des Mézerets.  purchased the bakery (by now converted to a house) in 2000. His research to date is recorded on his website Men in the Shed. Billy Leblond has a passion for the History of his paternal grandfather and father with whom he has visited many historical places.His interset for WWII came in college and developed in Lycée. His internships focused on  WW2 museums of Normandy and included Dead Man Corner,  Caen Memorial and Grand Bunker Ouistreham. For the past 5 years Billy has  been  involved  in the  La Percée du Bocage Museum, of which he now serves as president of the museum's board, following Mark Kentell last year. Jean Ménard, the founder of the museum, helped and guided him throughout the years he has been involved. According to Billy Jean Ménard has been instrumental in helping him to understand "the perception of the human aspect of the battles and of the history of veteran to whom we owe so much."Jean Ménard : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rE_fgzNCpZ0Museum: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IONeDC5p7d4La Percée Du Bocage Museum:  https://www.laperceedubocage.frMen in the Shed: https://menintheshed.comOperation Bluecoat Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_BluecoatTo Support Armchair Historians:Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/armchairhistoriansKo-fi: https://ko-fi.com/belgiumrabbitproductionsSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/armchairhistorians)

Oh it’s summer in the city and Jill and Connor need to cool off by taking a quick dip into Wikipedia! Where do they start? Why where else but WWII and Operation Cobra! An operation that took place in France, which is full of BOCAGE landscaping. Did you know that bocage landscaping was depicted in CHELSEA PORCELAIN? You know what else was depicted in porcelain, the CRIES OF LONDON, who did all of their melodic screaming on the streets of London, specifically in the CUT. And if it wasn’t for the fabulous prose of HENRY MAYHEW, we might not even known what life was like back then. From the fields of France to the gutters of London, lets go to Europe in spirit because if you're American you can’t in reality!

Lasse Spang Olsen din frække fyr. Du er en mand der giver og giver, og Dårligdommerne takker dig for at have givet os Operation Cobra - uden tvivl en af de mest underholdende film vi endnu har set. Alle, Thomas Eje undtaget, spiller så bukserne flyver og Dejan Cukic er farligere end nogensinde. Ok, Ok, så god er den måske heller ikke, for der sker pænt mange åndsvage ting, og generelt er hovedpersonerne lidt for kloge. Men hey, fuck den her tekst og lyt med i stedet. God fornøjelse.

1982 hade varit ett hektiskt år för polisen. Under lång tid hade man brottats med en rad besvärliga fall av hot och utpressning mot betydelsefulla personer och företag i Sverige. Ändå var det ingenting mot det fall som tog sin början i februari året därpå när rikspolischef Holger Romander fick ett brev från signaturen "C". Det skulle bli startskottet för Sveriges största utpressningsärende genom tiderna. Totalt uppmanades ett 80-tal svenska företag och statliga verk att tillsammans samla in en summa på drygt en miljard kronor! Vad som annars skulle drabba dem beskrevs i ett 19-sidigt dokument som polisen förfogade över. Sökandet efter "Organisation Cobra" skulle komma att pågå i över ett års tid och sätta Säkerhetspolisens personal på hårda prov, alltmedan de utsatta företagen stod inför ett landsomfattande terrorhot. P3 Dokumentär berättar om Operation Cobra, den största utpressningsaffären i svensk kriminalhistoria! Producerat av: Fredrik Johnsson Sändes första gången: 18 oktober 2009
