Agradece a este podcast tantas horas de entretenimiento y disfruta de episodios exclusivos como éste. ¡Apóyale en iVoox! es el verano de 1940. Tras la caída de Francia y la evacuación de Dunkerque, la Alemania nazi se siente imparable. Hitler, en la cima de su poder, tiene un objetivo claro: invadir Gran Bretaña. La Operación León Marino no era solo un plan, era la materialización de la ambición alemana de someter a la última gran potencia europea que se le oponía. Pero, ¿cómo planeaba Alemania cruzar el Canal de la Mancha y superar la legendaria Royal Navy? ¿Qué factores hicieron que esta monumental operación nunca llegara a ejecutarse? En este episodio, desglosaremos los planes militares alemanes, desde los desafíos logísticos de transportar cientos de miles de soldados y miles de vehículos a través de un canal infestado de minas, hasta las complejas estrategias navales y aéreas que se idearon. Hablaremos del papel crucial de la Luftwaffe en la Batalla de Inglaterra, la contienda aérea que debía allanar el camino para la invasión. Analizaremos cómo la tenaz resistencia británica en el aire, liderada por la Royal Air Force, se convirtió en el primer gran obstáculo insalvable para los planes de Hitler. También exploraremos la preparación británica para defender su isla, desde la movilización civil hasta la construcción de defensas costeras. La Operación León Marino es un fascinante estudio de estrategia, ambición y los límites del poder militar. ¿Fue una fantasía inviable desde el principio, o hubo un momento en que estuvo realmente cerca de convertirse en una terrible realidad? Acompáñanos para descubrir los detalles de una de las invasiones más planeadas, pero nunca ejecutadas, de la historia. Prepara tus auriculares, porque en unos instantes, navegaremos por las aguas turbulentas de la Operación León Marino. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Antena Historia te regala 30 días PREMIUM, para que lo disfrutes https://www.ivoox.com/premium?affiliate-code=b4688a50868967db9ca413741a54cea5 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Produce Antonio Cruz Edita ANTENA HISTORIA Antena Historia (podcast) forma parte del sello iVoox Originals ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- web……….https://antenahistoria.com/ YOUTUBE Podcast Antena Historia - YouTube correo..... antenahistoria@gmail.com Facebook…..Antena Historia Podcast | Facebook Twitter…...https://twitter.com/AntenaHistoria Telegram…...https://t.me/foroantenahistoria DONACIONES PAYPAL...... https://paypal.me/ancrume ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ¿QUIERES ANUNCIARTE en ANTENA HISTORIA?, menciones, cuñas publicitarias, programas personalizados, etc. Dirígete a Antena Historia - AdVoices https://advoices.com/antena-historia Escucha el episodio completo en la app de iVoox, o descubre todo el catálogo de iVoox Originals

This episode delves into the high-stakes planning behind Operation Sea Lion, exploring how German military strategists grappled with the immense challenges of invading Britain in 1940. As the Luftwaffe battled for air superiority, the planners faced a critical dilemma: balancing the necessity of an invasion with the uncertain feasibility of achieving the required dominance over the Royal Air Force. Tensions mounted between the German Army and Navy staffs, who had to navigate logistical, tactical, and strategic uncertainties within a tight window of just a few months. With the fate of the invasion hinging on a single, precarious condition—air superiority—the episode reveals the complexity and risks of one of WWII's most pivotal decisions.

Today is the last of the military overviews for the foreseeable future, and I'm covering the Royal Air Force!

Our host, Lewis Quarmby speaks to Royal Air Force veteran, Carl Austin-Behan, about his lived experience of the ban on LGBT personnel in the armed forces. They were joined by Peter Gibson, Chief Executive of Fighting With Pride, and Sarah Jones from our employee network IM Equal. On 12 December 2024, the LGBT Financial Recognition Scheme made recognition payments available to those who served in the Armed Forces between 27 July 1967 and 11 January 2000 and were affected by the ban. The deadline for applications is 12 December 2026. If you don't apply in time you'll lose your right to a payment under the scheme. Together our guests discussed:The impact of the LGBT ban and the support that's available to those who were affected by it.Whether the Financial Recognition Scheme goes far enough.The potential pitfalls of making an application under the scheme and the importance of seeking legal advice.Where to get support to make an application, including support for elderly claimants and those who lack capacity.Drawing on their personal experiences, they shared touching stories and lots of useful information to help those seeking to apply for a recognition payment. The discussion contains references to themes that some individuals may find distressing. If you were impacted by the ban, our expert Military team is here to help you navigate the Financial Recognition Scheme. Further support and resources are available from the LGBT+ Veterans charity, Fighting With Pride.

As the Soviets were fighting the Germans all along a 1000 mile long front, they were demanding that the Allies in the west do something to open a second front against the Germans.  We'll get to the Allies eventual response to this in a couple of episodes, but the western allies had the same problem invading Europe that the Germans had had when they were thinking about invading Britain.  That problem was the English Channel.  In order to send an invasion fleet across the channel to land in France, the Allies had to have complete control of the air above the channel, to protect the invasion fleet from German planes.  So before the sea-borne invasion could take place, the Allies needed to defeat the Luftwaffe, or at least drive them back from their bases in France where they could attack an invasion fleet.  So the Allies started building up their air forces in Great Britain. The Royal Air Force, which had done such a heroic job of defeating the Luftwaffe in the Battle of Britain, had continued to build up its fighter and bomber forces.  But early 1942, they were joined by the newly formed American group, the Eighth Air Force.  The Americans began to ship men, planes, bombs and ammo, and fuel to Great Britain.  By the end of the war, the Americans are going to have over 200 airbases in Great Britain, with over half a million men on those bases, and over 50,000 planes.

Vivek Chanda est un simple soldat de la Royal Air Force, qui, en un jour sombre de novembre 1948, défie l'autorité et la logique en s'emparant d'un bombardier pour un vol audacieux. Sans aucune qualification officielle, il parvient à faire décoller l'imposant appareil, laissant derrière lui un lieutenant médusé et une base aérienne en émoi.

Fortællingen om briten Tony Crook er samtidig en central del af historien om et af de mest eksklusive bilmærker i engelsk bilhistorie – Bristol Cars. Men først skal Tony selvfølgelig fødes, og han er så klog, at han vælger at lade det ske i en kulminefamilie i 1920. Heldigvis hos dem, der ejer kulminen, ikke dem, som render rundt nede under jorden og generelt nok ikke havde det helt så sjovt.  Som en således velsitueret ung mand må han naturligvis køre væddeløb. Og har vist også ret meget held med det, og køber sig en BMW 328. I Anden Verdenskrig bliver han pilot i Royal Air Force og flyver Bristol flyvemaskiner. I 1955 indstiller han væddeløbskarrieren efter et uheldigt møde med Stirling Moss og dennes Porsche – og helliger sig sin bilforretning, hvor han blandt mange andre ting er eneforhandler af Bristol. Senere igen bliver han endda eneejer af Bristol Cars. Herfra starter Tony sin heroiske og prisværdige kamp for at holde fast i de klassiske bildyder. Forbeholdt gentlemen, oftest af ædelbyrd, der værdsætter, og har råd itl en håndbygget bil på Chassiramme med håndbanket karrosseri (ja, efter Superleggera-metoden) og generel uvilje mod at følge med tiden. Hvilket naturligvis gør, at en Bristol – stort set uanset model – ikke kan være andet end det ultimative køretøj for en ægte bilsnob. Det mener i alle fald især den ene af denne udgaves værter, Stefan Kaas, der allerede nu ser frem til at nyde pensionisttilværelsen i en Bristol Blenheim. Det er selv om den objektivt set ligner den uheldige bror til en Ford Capri og Escort. Og panelgabene øjensynligt kan ses fra månen. Du får som vanligt forholdsvis mange kloge ting med i dette afsnit af Bilsnobbernes auditive bilencyklopædi – podcasten, der lærer dig at tale med, når snakken omkring middagsbordet falder på Tom Tjaarda, Jean Daninos og nu altså også de kompromisløse frembringelser fra Bristol Cars.

Juggling a Reserve commitment with a busy civilian job is something that's part and parcel of life for the thousands of Reserves currently serving in the RAF.

Storbritannien stod ensamt kvar mot Nazityskland efter Frankrikes fall. Adolf Hitler ville egentligen ha fred med Storbritannien, men britterna och premiärminister Winston Churchill valde att fortsätta kämpa.För att kunna invadera Storbritannien behövde Luftwaffe först besegra Royal Air Force (RAF) och etablera luftherravälde. Under flera månader kämpade brittiska jaktflygare i Spitfires och Hurricanes mot det numerärt överlägsna Luftwaffe. Trots svåra förluster lyckades RAF stå emot, och när hösten anlände stod det klart att Tyskland hade misslyckats med att krossa det brittiska försvaret.Detta är det femte avsnittet i en serie av sju om andra världskriget från podden Historia Nu. Programledaren Urban Lindstedt samtalar med Martin Hårdstedt, professor i historia, om Slaget om Storbritannien 1940.Slaget om Storbritannien blev en vändpunkt i andra världskriget. När Frankrike kapitulerade den 22 juni 1940 blev Storbritanniens situation kritisk. Landet stod nu ensamt, med en krigsmakt som var försvagad efter evakueringen vid Dunkerque. De brittiska styrkorna hade förlorat stora mängder tung materiel, inklusive stridsvagnar, artilleri och transportfordon.Churchills beslutsamhet blev avgörande för Storbritanniens motstånd. Trots att vissa inom regeringen, inklusive utrikesminister Lord Halifax, övervägde en fredsuppgörelse, stod Churchill fast vid sin linje. Han ansåg att fred med Hitler endast skulle vara en kortsiktig lösning som på sikt skulle leda till att Storbritannien tvingades leva under Nazitysklands dominans. Hans beslutsamhet stärkte den brittiska moralen och bidrog till att landet stod emot trycket från Tyskland.Tysklands invasionsplan, Operation Seelöwe, byggde på att Hermann Görings Luftwaffe först behövde besegra RAF och neutralisera den brittiska flottan genom flyganfall. Planen var ambitiös men riskabel – transportfartygen var långsamma och sårbara, och utan luftherravälde skulle de bli lätta mål för brittiska bombflyg och örlogsfartyg.Luftwaffes inledande offensiv började i juli 1940 med attacker mot brittiska hamnar och fartyg i Engelska kanalen. Dessa anfall syftade till att locka ut RAF:s jaktflyg och försvaga det brittiska försvaret innan den stora offensiven tog vid. I augusti gick tyskarna vidare till nästa fas: systematiska anfall mot RAF:s flygbaser, radarsystem och logistik. Under dessa veckor var RAF hårt pressat och förlorade många flygplan och piloter. Trots detta lyckades britterna hålla sina radaranläggningar intakta, vilket var avgörande för att kunna förutse de tyska anfallen.Bild: En formation av Supermarine Spitfire Mk I från No. 610 Squadron, baserad på Biggin Hill, under ett uppdrag den 24 juli 1940.

Ahlers "Wir fahren gegen Engeland" är en tysk marschsång från andra världskriget, känd för sin användning i propagandasyfte. Sången skrevs 1939 av Herms Niel, en av de mest produktiva kompositörerna av tysk marschmusik under det nazistiska Tredje riket. Den användes i samband med Tysklands planer på en invasion av Storbritannien, Operation Seelöwe, men blev även en del av den bredare propagandakulturen inom Wehrmacht.

Der Monte Olivia war im Oktober 1924 bei Blohm&Voss vom Stapel gelaufen und für die großen Südamerika-Fahrten bestimmt. Eine erste kleine Spritztour für Hamburger Honoratioren und neugierige Journalisten führte indes nur die Elbe abwärts, wo sich ein Vertreter des Hamburger Anzeigers vor allem von den kulinarischen Möglichkeiten an Bord schwer beeindrucken ließ, um in der Ausgabe vom 7. April 1925 ausführlich davon zu berichten. Eine richtige Erfolgsgeschichte, wissen wir heute, wurde der Monte Olivia dennoch nur zum Teil. Da das Südamerika-Geschäft schwächelte, setzte man ihn bald vermehrt auf Kreuzfahrten in nördlichen Gefilden ein, ab 1934 vermehrt auch für Kraft-durch-Freude-Fahrten. Ab 1940 diente er schließlich als Wohnschiff für die Kriegsmarine sowie als Lazarettschiff und kenterte nach einem Bombentreffer der Royal Air Force am 3. April 1945 in Kiel. Verschiedene Preziosen, darunter das Tafelsilber des Monte Olivia, wurde erst 2022 durch Taucher gehoben und sollen demnächst im Internationalen Maritimen Museum in Hamburg ausgestellt werden. Wie es sich mit jenem früher speiste, weiß Rosa Leu.

Besættelsestidens største enkeltstående tragedie skete, da Royal Air Force den 21. marts 1945 fejlbombede den franske katolske pigeskole – Jeanne D’ Arc-Skolen – på Frederiksberg. 86 børn og mere end 20 voksne mistede livet ved denne katastrofe, som rystede en ellers krigsvandt samtid. I timerne efter bombningen kæmpede nonner, redningsfolk, fædre og tililende forbipasserende en kamp mod tiden, flammerne og under livsfarlige forhold for at redde hundredvis af overlevende ud af den ødelagte skole, hvor børn og lærere var indespærrede i kældre eller lå begravede i murbrokker under sammenstyrtede trapper. Tragedien denne dag kom i årene efter også til at påvirke både overlevendes og deres pårørendes tilværelse helt op til vores tid, hvor 80-årsdagen for katastrofen for nyligt blev markeret I programmet medvirker forfatter og filminstruktør Martin Sundstrøm, der i en ny bog ”Katastrofen på den franske skole” fortæller historien som den blev oplevet af børn, nonner og redningsfolk.Vært: Jarl CorduaSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In 1940, for 113 harrowing days, Nazi Germany's Luftwaffe unleashed relentless attacks on Great Britain, aiming to secure an early victory in World War II. The defence of southern England fell to the brave pilots of the Royal Air Force, joined in their hour of need by over 100 Canadian airmen. These men, hailing from all walks of life—some from prominent families, others fresh off the farm—served with distinction in 47 different Battle of Britain squadrons. In this episode, Ted Barris, author of Battle of Britain: Canadian Airmen in their Finest Hour, joins me to explore their incredible contributions during this pivotal chapter of the war.   patreon.com/ww2podcast

In late November, a series of concerning incidents began to unfold in the skies above several U.S. Air Force bases in the United Kingdom. For several days, military officials and local civilian witnesses observed incursions by mysterious drones over these high-security facilities, all of which the Pentagon says remain unresolved. This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we analyze the recent mystery drone incidents in detail and explore what is known about the military response to these incursions, what their origins may be, and why some UAP proponents have argued that the objects may not be drones at all. What is the most likely explanation for the concerning spate of sightings, and what could it all mean for the national security of the Western nations that have been targeted? Have you had a UFO/UAP sighting? Please consider reporting your sighting to the UAP Sightings Reporting System, a public resource for information about sightings of aerial phenomena.
