This is a podcast where we try and persuade or entertain, inspire, and basically inform ourselves and you through conversation.Paula, a listener from Norfolk, England asks the first question for Stuart and William to mull over. It's a long question so we have put it in a separate document:Paula's QuestionStuart and William kick things off with a spirited debate on why folks are moving in the first place. Stuart suggests it might be because of the perception that the UK offers more than other safe countries. William chimes in with something more fundamental - English is a widely spoken language (plus, who doesn't love tea and crumpets?).William then points to the right-wing rhetoric that claims people coming to the UK are just here to drain resources like an uninvited guest who eats all your snacks and leaves the toilet seat up.Stuart goes on to talk about how the states these people pass through could act like a human sponge, absorbing everyone in transit (although that sounds like a superhero gone wrong). France wants the UK to do its part but Stuart wonders if France is pulling its weight.Stuart feels we need to get practicing at absorbing and channeling migration. Let's see this as a practice run for what's to come. Practice makes perfect, right?William points out that France has taken in more migrants than the UK and highlights the lack of legal routes for asylum seekers to enter the country. He believes the real issue isn't that they're all coming here but rather that it's the only route they can take, leaving them at the mercy of gangs (like a bad road trip with a shady GPS).William explains the difference between an asylum seeker and an illegal immigrant and says the issue of small boats crossing the Channel has been blown out of proportion. The number of people crossing the Channel in a year could fit into a football stadium.Stuart's action plan? Spend a bit of time thinking about this openly and remember, the media from all angles is trying to convince you of their way of thinking. Just like those salesmen who insist you need a vacuum that also makes smoothies.Samantha, another listener, this time from Cumbria, England puts forward the second question: “Is there always an alternative explanation?”Stuart kicks things off with, there's always an alternative. It doesn't mean it's correct, but hey, it's like trying on funky hats—worth exploring! Because stepping outside our perspective is like upgrading from fuzzy logic to sharp clarity.Stuart then explores the barriers to accepting alternative explanations. It could be ego or the fear of being wrong, or maybe just the dread of finding out pineapple does belong on pizza.William's action plan? Check out other sources. It's like a treasure hunt, except the treasure is the truth and not a dusty old map.Stuart recommends reading a Maeve Binchy book. She writes from the perspective of people's shared challenges. Think of it as a literary group therapy session with a dash of charm.What do you make of this discussion? Do you have a question that you'd like us to discuss?

This podcast does not focus on substandard humor, notwithstanding Stuart's belief in the quality of his joke. Rather, it is dedicated to discussions revolving around inquiries submitted by the audience. Wayne from Bangor, Maine, USA sets the first question - “Any thoughts about recharging and regen in environmental campaigning and in life?”. Stuart initiates by asserting that maintaining consistent energy levels is more manageable if one avoids allowing the 'battery' to deplete entirely, advocating for sustained replenishment.  William extends this notion, emphasizing the importance of keeping one's 'battery' recharged and exploring diverse methodologies for narrating one's story, rather than presenting it monotonously. Stuart further elaborates on the significance of not overburdening oneself, particularly with social media engagement. He observes that many individuals incessantly produce content, yet he subscribes to the 'less is more' philosophy. The second question today comes from Ray, in Sauk Centre, Minnesota, USA - “Many people are looking to get the big questions answered. Many reject mainstream media for alternative media outlets, as they feel the mainstream don't tell the truth. Why, I ask, should it be assumed that alternative media tells the truth in comparison? I feel unregulated alternative media and narratives can infiltrate and exploit us, and nudge us towards thinking and acting how they want. The far right and the far left twist stories to fire us up. If any of us then get in trouble by being swept along in a tide of emotional reactions, we're considered collateral damage for someone else's agenda. All forms of media can be vailed recruitment drives, to spread any given perspective”. William commences by positing that this podcast itself could be considered part of the alternative media, emphasizing that it fosters authentic conversations rather than prescribing beliefs or emotions. Stuart advocates for engaging with a wide array of sources, especially those with which one may profoundly disagree. He argues that such exploration facilitates a deeper understanding of differing viewpoints and one's own beliefs, thereby promoting intellectual diversity. William compares news to advertising, suggesting both exert a significant influence on public perception. He poses a fundamental question regarding one's moral compass and intrinsic identity, querying whether individuals rely excessively on external influences to shape their opinions. Stuart highlights the importance of critically assessing media statements and their potential effects on individuals. William underscores the media's manipulation of emotions, irrespective of political alignment.

In this episode of The People's Countryside Environmental Debate Podcast, hosts Stuart 'The Wildman' Mabbutt and William Mankelow tackle two thought-provoking listener questions. The first question, and it is quite a long one, comes from Cedric in Central Region, Malawi - ”Business has a part to play in the ecological and climate crisis, its part of the problem and thus, part of the solution, don't you think? Think on this, the climate crisis is a once in a generation opportunity for big business to make money, not lose it. If you frame it like that to the CEO's etc, they will buy into doing the right thing, even if they don't give a shit. The top brass are often just motivated by profit, so this brings them along with us. What's coming down the track is every business is going to have to reduce its carbon output, and clients and supply chains could bypass them for more sustainable businesses if they don't shape up. Some try and avoid putting value on nature, but maybe the idea of value needs reframing too? When it's done for the right reasons or not, as long as everything is more sustainable, surely that's a good thing? 60% of us say we want to do something to be sustainable, yet barely 20% actually do. Maybe that's to do with people wanting to feel safe in the just transition that has to happen, or scared to do the wrong things. We shouldn't be scared as that teaches us how to do the right things. We're all part of the same system, none of us outside of it, so we shouldn't use energy thinking whether we should exert our influence from the inside or from the outside. We need to bring our influence to bear in all areas of the system. The system isn't broken, it's doing exactly what it was originally set up to do, make money. The system just needs recodeing as it were, and guess what? There would still be room to make money, though maybe it would be done more fairly? We are bearing witness to a period of huge change. Is it quick enough though? Who knows, but what I do know, the approach of LESS - BETTER - LOCAL is a clear way forward. We need to differentiate between need and want. 25% of the value of what we buy is the production costs, 75% of its value is what they spend convincing us that we need this crap. The marketeers drive want and don't always solve a need. Just saying”. In this discussion, sparked by Cedric's question, Stuart and William explore how businesses can simultaneously contribute to, and solve, environmental challenges, examining companies' motivations for sustainability, consumers' environmental concerns, and the pivotal role of supply chains in driving sustainable practices. The second question for this episode comes from Aytama in Harjumaa, Estonia - “What's the true meaning of freedom? Not sure if you've talked about this before?” With this shorter, philosophical question, Stuart and William reflect on whether true freedom exists, and discuss how freedom might better be understood as moments of release or escape, rather than an absolute state.

Welcome to The People's Countryside Environmental Debate Podcast, this is how we roll here. Your co-hosts Stuart ‘The Wildman' Mabbut and William Mankelow discuss questions sent in by listeners all around the world. They don't see the questions before they press record, making their conversations unique and off the cuff. You dear listener, hear that question at the same time as them. In today's episode we find the daring duo (one more daring than the other) discussing questions from the Northern and Southern hemispheres. The first comes from Bronwen in Atlanta, Georgia, USA: “Physiologically if humans colonise space, our bodies will alter, meaning we won't be able to live back on Earth unless there are support systems in place. That evolution could see a new species evolve, and guess what, another opportunity for war. Colonising space could divide humans yet more instead of bringing us together, for the common good”. Off the back of Bronwen's question, Stuart and William discuss the physical challenges humans face in space exploration and colonization. William points out how space travel affects human physiology, even during short stays on the International Space Station, and reminds us that humans are still evolving as a species. Stuart highlights the significant threat posed by germs and viruses during space colonization, with William adding a parallel to historical continental colonization where diseases spread to new populations. The second question for this episode comes from the very south of South America where Lucas in Punta Arenas, Chile provides the following question: “Chile is the second biggest producer of Salmon in the world, after Norway I think. We have huge farms off the coast, with fish crammed together, cover in Lice and spreading infection. Do we really want to be eating that stuff? Once things take on an uncontrolled industrial scale, lots is lost?” William right from the beginning of the discussion agrees entirely with Lucas's point of view. Stuart then broadens the discussion by comparing it to how some free-range chickens are still kept in crowded conditions. He describes how farmed salmon are packed into underwater crates and suffer from lice infestations, with William adding that such overcrowding would cause similar problems even in humans. Stuart ends the conversation with two important points: First, he advises people not to blindly trust food labels and instead research the claims made on packaging. Second, he concludes that people need to stop eating and consuming mindlessly, and should put more thought into their choices rather than taking the easy route. What do you make of this discussion?

In our podcast, we engage in thoughtful discussions based on questions submitted by our listeners. Our aim is to explore these enquiries and steer the conversation towards environmental issues and solutions. Vinroy, from Linstead, Jamaica asks the initial question - “The global majority are people of colour, so where was the tipping point that saw the white man dominate?” Stuart initiates the discussion by examining various historical empires, including the French, German, English, Dutch, and Roman empires, noting their use of slavery. He suggests that technological advancements may have contributed to the dominance of white men in history.  William builds on this by pointing out geographical advantages, such as Great Britain's island location. Stuart proposes inviting an academic expert, such as a historian from Oxford University, to delve deeper into the topic. He highlights several tipping points that have led to this dominance.  William brings up the early history of colonization, while Stuart emphasizes the deep historical roots of these developments. Stuart concludes by encouraging listeners to research this topic further. The next question comes from Felix, in Novi Sad, Serbia - “The installation of disabled access shouldn't be just about disabled people. It should be about all of us, as when we all get older we all might need these facilities. Thats how to market it. It's not for ‘them' it's for ‘us all'”. Stuart kicks off by suggesting, Felix, you've practically answered your own question. Why are we even here?  He then mentions chatting with a bloke from the local council. Apparently, investing in accessibility is like future-proofing yourself. Let's face it, we're all gonna need it when we're old and creaky, right? William chimes in with, if you show those decision-makers that making things accessible is for everyone, they might actually get off their backsides and do it properly for once. Stuart suggests an action: Go check out the new disabled access around town. Spoiler alert: it's for all of us. William's action is a bit of an adventure: Take a stroll with a mate in a wheelchair. See what hurdles they face. If you can't find a friend in a wheelchair, just imagine the fun you'd have navigating your neighborhood with one. It's like an obstacle course—but without the prize.

Stuart and William, your co-hosts, are  that friendly voice in your ear.  They guarantee they will be here every week, with a new release every Sunday, at 10am, plus extra material outside of this schedule too. There are no scripts, just genuine conversation between middle aged men. In today's episode, the last for 2024, Stuart and William mull over two questions sent in by listeners, with the first coming from Anne in Turlock, California, USA - “When making your podcast, how aware are you that someone will always say you are offensive if they don't agree with you?” The discussion off the back of this question begins with William's assertion that both he and Stuart are aware that they could be offensive with every episode they record together. Stuart comes at it from a different angle though, noting the difference between being offensive and someone taking offence. A person taking offence doesn't mean he and William are being offensive. William brings up that often offense is felt when a person has an opposing opinion to you. Stuart follows on from this saying that he always tries to be respectful, but he gets frustrated not hearing certain topics being openly and honestly talked about, which he feels is the contribution that this podcast tries to make. William goes on to talk about how the conversations Stuart and he have on this podcast is like a stream of consciousness, but he always has in his mind the potential impact of his words, and the motive behind them too. He concludes by giving you an action: Where in your life are you easily offended and why? They next move onto the second question for this episode which comes from listener Dusan in Lahinch, Ireland - “Do we need to have a strong faith to give a damn and have a sense of identity?” From this question, both Stuart and William assume that when Dusan refers to faith, they are talking about God, and for William he is categorical that we don't need faith to have a sense of identity. He states that you are your physical being, nothing more, nothing less. Stuart pulls him up on this statement. He goes on to talk about how during workshops he leads, he gets participants around a campfire to write down sixteen things about them. He gets them to cross off anything to do with work, anything to do with their physical body, anything to do with their hobbies, and then generally what you're left with is values. He sees that as being their identity. Stuart and William then go onto discuss whether you need faith to have an identity? William feels that faith can bring structure to your life. He cites a close friend who is an evangelical Christian, and he sees how important their faith is to them, and how big a part it is of their identity.  Stuart's conclusion: he thinks some people do need a faith to give a damn, but he also thinks it's worth exploring giving a damn without a faith too.

This podcast's overall themes are nature, philosophy, climate, the human condition, sustainability, and social justice. Welcome to The People's Countryside Environmental Debate Podcast, where your co-hosts Stuart ‘The Wildman' Mabbutt and William Mankelow, over the last few years have been discussing questions sent in by listeners. No scripts, no prep, just genuine opinions. In today's episode we have two questions, both originating from Central America. The first question up for discussion is from Yenifer in Provincia De Panamá, Panama:  “The illusion of wealth seems to be fooling many of us.  Big houses, fancy cars, designers, a fancy lifestyle isn't wealth in my view, it's debt. Wealth to me is time, freedom, options and health”. The conversation kicks off with William and Stuart reflecting on Yenifer's question about the deceptive nature of material wealth, challenging the common association between luxury possessions and true prosperity. The discussion takes an intriguing philosophical turn as Stuart explores the concept of freedom as a state of mind, independent of physical circumstances. William builds on this by examining how society's fixation on financial success often overshadows other crucial forms of wealth, such as time and personal freedom. Together, the hosts dissect the subtle difference between illusion and delusion when it comes to wealth, with Stuart posing the thought-provoking question of whether our collective belief in money as a measure of success is more than just an illusion.  The second question for this episode comes from Xiomara in Managua Department, Nicaragua: “What is the true consequence of humans destroying themselves and making themselves extinct?” This conversation begins with William's stark observation about the planets indifference to human existence, setting the tone for a fascinating discussion about mortality on a species-wide scale. Stuart offers a thought-provoking perspective on human extinction, pointing out that we won't be around to witness its consequences, though he acknowledges the potential trauma for those who might experience humanity's final chapter. Building on this, William explores the evolutionary timeline, explaining that even if humanity survives far into the future, we would inevitably evolve into something entirely different within a billion years. The hosts contemplate how nature would ultimately fill the void left by humanity's departure, leading to Stuart's memorably colorful conclusion that humanity's legacy might be little more than "a skid mark on the arse of life".

Welcome to another insightful episode of The People's Countryside Environmental Debate Podcast, your hosts Stuart ‘The Wildman' Mabbutt and William Mankelow guarantee the following: no plan, no prep, no research, no scripts, just off the cuff explorations. There are enough experts out there, Stuart and William don't try to add to their ranks. Once again they discuss two questions sent by listeners. The first comes in from Rithipol from Phnom Penh, Cambodia, their question is as follows:  “Hi guys. You both say neither of you have a uni education, yet you often say the education system isn't as good as we think it is. Those who have been through higher education, going through it, or going to be going through it, will likely largely argue with you, as they may feel they have more knowledge and experience than you. What qualifications do you have to argue and criticise, or is it based on life experience or solid research on your part?” During the discussion of Rithipol's question, Stuart argues that the education system functions as a conveyor belt, designed to prepare and potentially indoctrinate people for the work place. While he acknowledges that education has some value, he believes many university courses exist primarily to generate revenue, and challenges the notion that formal qualifications are necessary to critique the system. William shares his personal experience of being overlooked in school, falling between the categories of high achievers and troublemakers. Despite this, he recognizes education's power to help people make sense of the world. Both discuss how self-education doesn't fit conventional structures, with Stuart questioning academic standards for things like essay writing. They acknowledge they're speaking from different perspectives, with Stuart suggesting that those invested in traditional education might struggle to question its value, as doing so would force them to confront potentially uncomfortable truths about their choices. The second question arrives on the X2 bus from the town of Didcot, Oxfordshire, England, from long time question provider Debs: “As co hosts you often say the rich are made rich through the poor working hard for them. Why shouldn't business owners get rich off the backs of the workers? The owners are the ones taking the risk after all”. While chewing over Debs's question, William opens the conversation by noting that risk in business isn't solely on owners - workers also take risks.  Stuart believes making a real difference requires leading your own projects, but William counters that there's value in simply living a good, non-exploitative life, without grand ambitions. William also advocates for better wage equality, and acknowledges employee risks. Stuart concludes that truly impactful work requires independence, as working under others inevitably comes with limitations that restrict one's ability to create meaningful change.

I recently attended the We Have Ways Fest, where I ran into Séan Scullion, a friend of the podcast. You might remember him from episode 135, where we discussed Spaniards in the British army. His book, "Churchill's Spaniards," is about to be released. At this year's We Have Ways Fest, Sean was scheduled to speak about the British Middle East Commandos. We found a supposedly quiet corner to chat, though it turned out to be less quiet than anticipated. Patreonpatreon.com/ww2podcast  

It was only as Harry S. Truman was sworn in as the 33rd president of the United States that he was told of the Manhattan Project. In this episode, we embark on a journey through one of the most controversial and consequential decisions in modern history: Truman's choice to drop atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II. The story of this decision is complex, marked by intense debates, ethical dilemmas, and immense geopolitical stakes. As the war in Europe concluded with the defeat of Nazi Germany, the Pacific Theater continued to rage with brutal intensity. American forces faced fierce resistance from Japanese troops, and the prospect of a prolonged and bloody invasion of Japan loomed large. In this episode, we'll explore the multifaceted considerations that influenced Truman's decision. We'll examine the military strategies, the political pressures, and the moral questions that weighed on the shoulders of the 33rd President of the United States. I'm joined by Edward Aldrich, the author of The Partnership: George Marshall, Henry Stimson, and the Extraordinary Collaboration That Won World War II.

In this episode of the WW2 podcast, we'll explore the Royal Navy from 1918 to the end of the Second World War and one man's career. Not an officer, but a regular sailor: Herbert Leeder, who chalk up 27 years of service. Following the career of one sailor is an interesting way to view the Royal Navy. It gives us a slightly potted history, but Herbert took part in a number of major actions during the Second World War, and it brings home how one man can be a witness to many great events. I'm joined by James Carter. After working as a volunteer researcher for a local history project during the centenary of the First World War, James was inspired to seek out the history of his own great-grandfather when his mother handed him a four-page summary of Herbert Leeders's career. The outcome of that research is Hearts of Steel, which tracks Herbert's career and the Royal Navy in which he served. Patreonpatreon.com/ww2podcast  

In March 1941, 40,000 Australian and New Zealand troops were rushed to Greece in a desperate attempt to support the Greeks against the looming threat of a German attack. Although the operation was ultimately doomed to fail, the Aussies and Kiwis managed to hold up the German advance long enough to evacuate thousands to Crete, where Hitler then set his sights. Joining me today is Craig Collie, author of ‘Where the Flaming Hell Are We? The Story of Young Australians and New Zealanders Fighting the Nazis in Greece and Crete'. We'll be delving into these often-overlooked, disastrous operations in the Mediterranean. I want to extend a big thank you to David Phillipson from the History Guild, who suggested our guest today and connected me with Craig. The History Guild has a project focusing on Australians in the Mediterranean theatre during WWII. For more articles and posts on this topic, visit historyguild.org.   Patreonpatreon.com/ww2podcast  

In this episode, we discuss the development of US tanks from the end of the First World War through to the end of the Second World War. I am joined by renowned historian and author Stephen J. Zaloga, who has penned numerous works on military technology and history, and his latest book is 'US Battle Tanks 1917–1945'. It is a comprehensive and richly illustrated examination of the development and combat performance of US battle tanks; Stephen delves into the history of tanks in American service, tracing their journey from the initial experiments with armoured vehicles in the early 20th century through the significant battles and innovations up to the end of World War II.

Just two days before D-Day, Captain Gallery's US antisubmarine Task Group 22.3 managed to force the German U-boat U-505 to the surface. In a bold move, a boarding party secured the submarine before it could be scuttled, capturing an Enigma machine and the current Kriegsmarine code books. This remarkable operation earned Lieutenant Albert David the Medal of Honor for his leadership. However, it could have had catastrophic consequences. If the Germans had suspected that their cyphers were compromised, it might have jeopardised the Allied operation Ultra, which was already deciphering German signals. The Chief of US Naval Operations, Ernest King, was so incensed about the capture of U-505 that he threatened to fire Admiral Gallery. Joining me to discuss this operation is Charles Lachman, author of Codename Nemo: The Hunt for a Nazi U-Boat and the Elusive Enigma Machine.

To commemorate the 80th anniversary of D-Day, I attended a special event at the Green Howards Museum. We started at the regimental war memorial in Richmond (Yorkshire) at 6.30 a.m., which was when the Green Howards landed on Gold Beach. The day was packed with discussion about the regiment and their role on D-Day. It closed with us having the privilege of getting up close to the only Victoria Cross, which was won on June 6th.  If you find yourself in the Yorkshire Dales, visit the museum; it is a cracking afternoon out. To round off my look at D-Day, I'm joined by Steve Erskine from the Green Howards Museum and Paul Cheall (from The Fighting Through Podcast), whose father landed on Gold Beach with Stan Hollis, who received the Victoria Cross for his deed that day. In theory, we sat down in the museum on June 5th to discuss what D-Day meant to us. In practice, we had a rather wide-ranging discussion. We never got as far off the beaches as we anticipated… I hope you find our war waffle interesting. Patreonpatreon.com/ww2podcast  

More than 132,000 Allied troops landed on the Normandy beaches on 6 June 1944. Through their efforts, the tide of the war turned for the final time to favour the Allies. But how did the Allied army get to the shores of Normandy? The contribution of Landing Craft to D-Day is often overlooked. Andrew Whitmarsh joins me to correct this oversight. Andrew has worked as a curator in military history museums for over 25 years, latterly as the curator of The D-Day Story in Portsmouth. Outside of work, he is also the author of D-Day Landing Craft: How 4,126 ‘Ugly and Unorthodox' Allied Craft made the Normandy Landings Possible. Patreonpatreon.com/ww2podcast  

6th June 1944 saw the largest seaborne assault in human history: D-Day. While much has been written about the operation as a whole, little detailed attention has been paid to the battle for Sword Beach itself, the easternmost of the amphibious attack areas. For this episode, I am joined by Stephen Fisher. Stephen is a historian and archaeologist who specializes in military history. He is also the author of Sword Beach: The Untold Story of D-Day's Forgotten Victory. Patreonpatreon.com/ww2podcast  

As the Allied forces prepared for the monumental invasion of Normandy, concealing the massive build-up of troops in Britain from the Germans became increasingly challenging. To mislead German intelligence about the timing and location of the invasion, the Allies devised a series of elaborate deception plans. The most audacious of these schemes aimed to convince the Germans that the Normandy landings were merely a diversion. This ruse featured a fictitious army led by General Patton, complete with hundreds of realistic dummy landing crafts, tanks, and aircraft. Joining me to delve into the intricate web of D-Day deception is Taylor Downing, author of The Army That Never Was: D-Day and the Great Deception.   Patreonpatreon.com/ww2podcast  

On the morning of May 20, 1941, the Germans launched Operation Mercury. The invasion of Crete was the largest airborne operation yet attempted during the war, with thousands of Fallschirmjäger deployed. Key to the operation's success would be the capture of the airfield at Maleme. Outnumbered and having suffered horrendous casualties, when the airborne troops secured Hill 107, overlooking the airfield, it opened the door for reinforcements and, ultimately, the Allied withdrawal from the island. For this episode, I'm joined by Robert Kershaw, a now-regular show participant who was last with us to discuss Dunkirk. He has a new book available, The Hill: The Brutal Fight for Hill 107 in the Battle of Crete. Patreonpatreon.com/ww2podcast  

In this podcast episode, we will discuss the different approaches to command and control of the British Army and the German Army. From a management point of view, both organisations developed different doctrines to deal with the 'fog of war' or 'friction', which affected how commanders responded as a battle unfolded. We'll do this by delving into the origins of each nation's different approaches to doctrine and training and, most importantly, how these strategies played out during the pivotal Battle for France in 1940. Joining me today is Martin Samuels. Martin is the author of Piercing the Fog of War: The Theory and Practice of Command in the British and German Armies, 1918-1940, which builds upon his early work Command or Control? Command, Training and Tactics in the British and German Armies, 1888-1918. Patreonpatreon.com/ww2podcast  

The Indian Army was the largest volunteer army during the Second World War. Indian Army divisions fought in the Middle East, North Africa and Italy - and went to make up the overwhelming majority of the troops in South East Asia. Over two million personnel served in the Indian Army. I'm Angus Wallace, and in this episode, I am joined by Dr Alan Jefferys to discuss how the Indian Army developed a more comprehensive training structure than any other Commonwealth country during WWII. This was achieved through both the dissemination of doctrine and the professionalism of a small cadre of Indian Army officers who brought about a military culture within the Indian Army - starting in the 1930s - that came to fruition during the Second World War.

From late 1944, an ungainly piece of equipment was introduced into service in the British and Canadian armies. Referred to at the time as the ‘Valentine 17-pounder SP', and later as the ‘Archer', it was a tracked vehicle with an open compartment at the front and a large gun facing to the rear. Joining me to tell the story of the Archer's development is loyal patron of the show, and author of ‘Self Propelled 17 Pounder - Archer', Christopher Camfield. Patreonpatreon.com/ww2podcast

While at We Have Ways Fest, I caught Paul Woodadge, the host of WW2TV, giving an excellent talk on D-Day tourism. I thought I would ask him on the show to discuss tourism, how it has changed and what to see. Base in France, Paul has been a battlefield tour guide for over 20 years. More recently, he launched WW2TV and became a Second World War YouTube sensation. You can find Paul at DDayHistorian.com and ww2tv.com. Patreonpatreon.com/ww2podcast  

In January 1945, Admiral Halsey, with the third Fleet, conducted a raid into the South China Sea. This was designated Operation Gratitude. The raid was to support the landings on Luzon, in the Philippines, with the aim of destroying the Japanese navy, supply convoys and any air assets in the area. As part of this operation, Hong Kong would be attacked. Steven Bailey joins me. Steven is the author of Target Hong Kong, which looks at the raid from numerous angles, including an eyewitness account from a British prison officer held in a Japanese internment camp on the island.   Patreonpatreon.com/ww2podcast  

Starting with small raids at the start of the war, the aerial offensive grew into a massive operation. Huge air armadas would eventually pulverise Germany, with the Mighty Eigth Airforce flying by day and the Lancasters of Bomber Command by night. This 24-hour campaign seriously damaged Germany's ability to make war and killed hundreds of thousands. Joining me is Jonathan Trigg, whose new book is The Air War Through German Eyes: How the Luftwaffe Lost the Skies over the Reich, which looks at the air war from the point of view of the Germans.   Patreonpatreon.com/ww2podcast  

'In Arctic blizzards between January and March 1945, the Latvian 15th SS Division - a core of Russian Front veterans but most raw teenage conscripts from Nazi-occupied Latvia - tried to stop the Red Army sweeping across Pomerania, now Poland. One in three died: the majority never returned home.' In this episode, I'm joined by Vincent Hunt, and we discuss the Latvians fighting with the Germans in the Latvian 15th SS Division. Through interviews, diaries, and never-before-utilised sources, in his book The Road of Slaughter: The Latvian 15th SS Division in Pomerania, January-March 1945, Vince has built a compelling narrative of desperate fighting as the Latvians were withdrawn from defending their own country to Poland.

This episode will look at Japanese propaganda during the imperial era. With the rise of mass production of newspapers and magazines amidst the Russo-Japanese War, the Japanese population became instilled in nationalism and militarism. Despite the era of demilitarisation and democratisation after the First World War, the Japanese Empire, once again, became fixated on expansion. Harnessing film, radio and cultural institutions, the country was galvanised for total war. Ray Matsumoto, author of Echoes of Empire: The Power of Japanese Propaganda, joined me.
