Rodolfo Graziani, Marshal of Italy, Viceroy of Ethiopia and one of Mussolini's most valued generals remains to this day a divisive figure in his homeland. Revered by some Italians as a patriot and vilified by others as a murderer. From the allied perspective, he was the Italian general whose troops surrendered en masse to the British during operation Compass, which almost knocked the Italians out of North Africa in 1941. But what is the true story of Rodolfo Graziani? Today I am joined by James Cetrullo. For the first time, James has translated from Italian the biography Rodolfo Graziani: Story of an Italian General written by Alessandro Cova. Patreon:patreon.com/ww2podcast

On September 1, 1939, the day World War II broke out in Europe, Gen. George Marshall was sworn in as chief of staff of the U.S. Army. Ten months later, Roosevelt appointed Henry Stimson secretary of war. For the next five years, from adjoining offices in the Pentagon, Marshall and Stimson headed the army machine that ground down the Axis.  In this episode, we're going to be discussing the relationship between the two men as they negotiated the war. Joining me is Edward Farley Aldrich author of The Partnership: George Marshall, Henry Stimson, and the Extraordinary Collaboration That Won World War II. Patreon: patreon.com/ww2podcast

Julia Fisher talks to Christa Behr - She is a Christian from Germany who from an early age became concerned, even appalled, at her nation's role during the Second World War in sending so many Jewish people to their deaths during the Holocaust. She moved to live in Jerusalem in 1991 and her mission was and still is to promote repentance and reconciliation of the church of Jesus from the nations towards Israel. Our aim is to build bridges... To build bridges of understanding and support, in a spirit of reconciliation, between believers (both Jewish and Arab) in the Holy Land (Israel and the Palestinian Areas) and Christians worldwide. olivetreefund.org

On 28 May 1940, in the early days of the Second World War, Major Akbar Khan marched at the head of 299 soldiers along a beach in northern France. They were the only Indians in the British Expeditionary Force at Dunkirk.  What journey had brought these men to Europe? What became of them and their comrades captured by the Germans? In this episode of BIC Talks, author and historian Ghee Bowman talks to writer and journalist Vaibhav Vats about his book, ‘The Indian Contingent: The Forgotten Muslim Soldiers of the Battle of Dunkirk' while examining the larger British narrative and place in history, details his research and tells an important although obscure and astonishing story of the Indian contingent – the Muslim soldiers who fought in the pivotal Battle of Dunkirk – from their arrival in France on 26 December 1939 to their return to an India on the verge of Partition.

I didn't know Evelyn back in 1933 during the height of the depression, but I know she witnessed the Second World War unfold on the radio like most Americans. By the time she was twelve, the whole thing was over, so I doubt she would have paid it much mind if her brothers hadn't enlisted. Days were taken up with chores mostly, but she found time to play like most kids. Her family was poor, but if you asked Evelyn how much money they had, she'd tell you they were rich. She'd probably even tell you to mind your own business if you asked too many questions. The smell of tobacco often penetrated the air in our small community. Sometimes you'd hear a car or two out on the road, but mostly things were placid aside from the sounds of lively animals. Folks conversed with each other and knew when someone was unwell or having a challenging time. People offered to help, but no one ever asked for it. It was a time when all anyone had was one another. No one ever went hungry because that wasn't allowed in Salem. Like any little girl her age, she loved playing with her dolls and inviting friends over for make-believe tea. Evelyn wasn't afraid to get dirty while outrunning the boys through the woods and swinging from grapevines into a creek. She didn't care for The Shadow or Flash Gordon, but she did adore Little Orphan Annie. It's when the radio brought every American together at the same time in their living rooms, and it was special. On occasion, she'd have popcorn using the leftover grease on top of the stove. Evelyn was aware of Glenn Miller and Frank Sinatra, but those weren't her favorites. This little girl was dazzled by Ernest Tubb, Hank Williams, and Eddy Arnold. Those country girl roots were apparent whenever she'd tune in to the Opry on Saturday night and thumb through ragged magazines with pictures of the performers who left her star-struck. It was a sensational escape from many of the hardships of growing up around Bend Road. Most of her clothes were homemade, hand-me-downs, or both. She didn't mind because she didn't know any different. Everyone else did the same thing anyway. Cora, her mother, cut her hair and taught her how to cook and tend to the chickens. No one had it easy, but Evelyn refused to let it crush her spirit. Her struggles only managed to make her stronger by feeding her motivation. Evelyn is full of hope, with countless seasons waiting for her arrival. She daydreams of places to investigate, hearts to break, and the man she will love someday. She fantasizes about a pretty dress and putting on makeup before the dance. Curiosity bubbles inside of her chest while her imagination creates whole worlds inside of her innocent mind. Behind her sweet sapphire eyes rests a warrior ready to challenge life's catastrophes and celebrate in its joy.

Mistakes were made.  We should have split this tank up over two episodes, we should have bought a Russian beer, not a dutch beer that was sitting on the Czech beer shelf. But in terms of speaking glowingly about the most produced tank of WW2 for over an hour. Nailed it!

The first half of Britain’s twentieth century was shaped by death. Between 1914 and 1918, over 700,000 men died in the First World War, followed by another 250,000 between 1918 and 1919 from the influenza pandemic. Over three decades later, another 380,000 were killed fighting in the Second World War as well over 60,000 civilians from German air raids. The shockingly high death toll of the Great War has often overshadowed that of the Second. Tales of hardships and tragedies left in the wake of German bombs were discouraged from the outset, and the stiff upper lip of the Blitz spirit has come to dominate popular myth. Perhaps for these reasons, scholars have been more reticent about writing an emotional history of death in Britain during the Second World War. In this episode, Lucy Noakes, Professor of History at the University of Essex discusses the reasons for this imbalance, the truths and falsities behind the myths, and the methods that make such a study possible. Whether Britons confronted loss with a quiet stoicism, utilitarian memorials or personalised inscriptions on headstones, the Second World War was nevertheless a war of emotions.

The common narrative of the war often completely overlooks Germany’s attempts to run spies in Britain. In actual fact, for more or less the whole of the war the German secret service, the Abwehr, were sending agents into Britain. In this episode I’m joined by Bernard O’Connor, author of Operation Lena and Hitler's Plots to Blow up Britain to discuss German espionage activities.

In this episode, Mick chats with writer and former war correspondent, Damien Lewis. They discuss Damien's career as a war correspondent and his recently published book, Churchill's Shadow Warriors: The Race to Develop Radar, World War II's Invisible Secret. Damien discusses technology development in the Second World War as well as war's addictive qualities. Damien gives a unique answer to the final question.

In his new book The Fight for History: 75 Years of Forgetting, Remembering and Remaking Canada’s Second World War, Tim Cook reminds us that "if we do not tell our own stories, no one else will." But the ways in which Canadians have chosen to remember the Second World War has been far from consistent. Once viewed as the necessary war, the country quickly put the conflict behind itself. Cenotaphs built in the shadow of the Great War were simply given an addendum. There was no national Second World War memorial; no major monument to commemorate victories in Normandy or the Netherlands. For many years, when Canadians spoke of the war they spoke of tragedy, blunders and mistakes. But in the twenty-first century, Canadians and veterans have since reclaimed the legacy of the war. As veterans dwindle and historians open up new avenues for understanding this contentious past, Tim Cook joins us once again to make a plea to fellow Canadians to continue the fight for their history.

“Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.” That iconic Churchill line has framed our remembrance of the Battle of Britain for 80 years. But it’s also been said that the few were supported by the many. In this episode, we’ve joined forces with the Royal Air Force and the Royal Air Force Museum to commemorate the few and the many by telling lesser-known stories from the summer of Britain’s great defence of our skies. Listeners, we need your help to make this podcast better! Visit smartsurvey.co.uk/s/ontherecord/

In this week's Everyday Conversations Podcast, Associate Speaker Colette Aikema speaks with author, Global Woman of Vision award recipient, and personal friend Gerda Vandenhaak. She is the author of Geertje: War Seen Through the Eyes of a Child as an Adult.  It tells her story of growing up in the Netherlands during the Second World War. The injustice and confusion she experienced in wartime caused her to question God's goodness. Yet through the redeeming work of the Spirit, God used her and her late husband mightily to share the Gospel through conversations at home in Canada and all over the world. Gerda's story, she says, is really God's story of redeeming our lives for the upbuilding of God's kingdom.

Podcast Notes Key Takeaways “We grow up with a two-dimensional version of history, especially with our heroes. We shrink them into cardboard cut-outs, we send off the unpalatable edges and turn them into symbols” – Dan CarlinAs we learn more about history, characters become much more relatable and interesting. We get to understand the moral dilemmas and difficulties they facedAs we read history, it’s easy to forget that people had no clue what was going to happenAt many moments in history, each individual had one of three options on how to conduct their lives, he could be a hero, a villain or a cowardTom likes to ponder on how he would act if he found himself in such a situationRead the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgTom Hanks joins Dan to talk about his new Second World War naval-themed film “Greyhound”.

In the 1930s, the US was an inward-looking country struggling with a collapsing economy and spiralling unemployment. But by 1945, it was on the winning side of the Second World War, manufacturing thousands of vehicles and armaments per month. American doctors and manufacturers ranked with the world's best.

McCance and Widdowson changed the way the world viewed food during the Second World War. The pair worked together before the war investigating the relationship between what we eat and how it interacts with our bodies. During the war, they sought out the best way to conserve food while ensuring the people had enough nutrients to be able to live healthily. After the war, they researched the impact of limited diets had on children and adults.

Thousands of years of agriculture under our collective belts, and what have we learned? Sandra and Tom take a look at what we've done with our food. We love to play with it and now, it looks like our food is the worse for it. Sure, we can bring a beef cow to market in a third of the time it took in the 50s, and we get more milk from a dairy cow and a chicken takes less time to be ready for the pot, but are they better nutritionally? The answer seems to be, no. No they are not. Chickens are fattier, milk is less nutritious and our carrots. Our fighting carrots of the Second World War would mop the floor with the carrots of today. Sigh.

On this special edition of the Sky News Daily podcast with Dermot Murnaghan, we pay tribute to those who fought - and died - for our freedom and discuss the significance of Victory in Europe Day.We are joined by historian Andrew Roberts and VE veteran Geoff Pulzer, who shares his memories of the Second World War.

Jewish people are traditionally depicted as victims in the Second World War literature. This should come as no surprise, as six million Jews were killed at the hands of the Nazis during the Holocaust. Ellin Bessner, in her new book Double Threat, insists that at least in the case of Jewish Canadians, they were not just victims of the war but also active players in the eventual victory of the Allies against Germany and the Axis powers during the Second World War. Canadian Jews enlisted at the same proportional rates as the rest of Canada and served valiantly and bravely in the face of an enemy that not only wanted to see them defeated in battle but exterminated from the face of the earth. References Irving Abella and Harold Troper. None is Too Many: Canada and the Jews of Europe, 1933–1948. Toronto: Lester & Orpen Dennys, 1983. Ellin Bessner.

On today's podcast we're at key events marking the 75th anniversary of the D-Day landings and we'll hear memories of those involved. Also today, reaction to Ford's decision to close its plant in South Wales and why a privately-run mental health hospital has been place in special measures.

Sometimes we find Canadians in the most unlikely of places. During the Second World War, within the crews of airmen responsible for breaching the Ruhr dams of Nazi Germany, there were thirty Canadians. In 1943, these men, along with about a hundred others, took to the skies in May 1943 aboard nineteen Lancaster Bombers to drop the now infamous bouncing bombs that would devastate enemy power plants, factories and German infrastructure after blowing up several dams. Now known as the Dam Busters, in this interview, Ted Barris discusses the deeds of these Canadian airmen and legacies they left behind. Ted Barris is a journalist and award-winning author of 18 books. He lived in Oxbow, Ontario. References Ted Barris.

Sometimes we forget that the field of war and society encompasses so much more than Canada. Many of the guests we've had on our show study the history of war and society in Canada, but in this episode, Wilson Bell speaks about the Soviet Gulag system during the Second World War and his new book, Stalin's Gulag at War. Wilson Bell is an associate professor of history at Thompson Rivers University. He is the author of numerous articles on the Gulag, and his first book, Stalin’s Gulag at War, was published in 2018 with the University of Toronto Press. References Wilson T. Bell, Stalin's Gulag at War: Forced Labour, Mass Death, and Soviet Victory during the Second World War (Toronto: University of Toronto Press, 2018).

In this episode Mick has a chat with Dr Meghan Fitzpatrick, a defence analyst & researcher. They continue their discussion on war related nervous disorders, this time focusing on the Second World War. It is a topic that is as relevant to today's veterans as it was to those who fought in WW2.
