Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu fancies himself as Israel's Winston Churchill, when in fact, the Gaza war has demonstrated he is exactly the opposite of Great Britain's storied leader, asserted Anshel Pfeffer, Israel correspondent for The Economist, former Haaretz analyst and a Netanyahu biographer, on the Haaretz Podcast. "We shouldn't be making this World War II – the Nazis against everybody else, and comparing that to Israel's war with Hamas. But that's being almost forced upon us by Netanyahu and his supporters," said Pfeffer in conversation with host Allison Kaplan Sommer. Pfeffer, who recently published a column in Haaretz about Netanyahu's repeated slogan of achieving "total victory" over Hamas and his misguided identification with Churchill in the second world war, said "Churchill was a brilliant wartime leader. He managed to bring the British together at that crucial point in history, uniting a country at a time of a terrible war. Yet, he didn't have the ability to win elections. Netanyahu is the opposite. As we've seen so clearly, he is totally useless at uniting Israel at a time of war, but he's very, very good at winning elections and clinging onto power." Pfeffer also pointed out that the "scorched earth" victory model that Netanyahu and his far-right coalition partners are pursuing in Gaza hews closer to former Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin and Russian President Vladimir Putin than Churchill and the other Western allies. Netanyahu should be reminded, Pfeffer said, that the U.K. and the U.S. were "magnanimous and benevolent" victors who poured millions into rebuilding a de-Nazified Germany. "That is a very, very different vision of victory."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Winston Churchill hat einmal gesagt: „Das beste Argument gegen die Demokratie ist ein fünfminütiges Gespräch mit einem durchschnittlichen Wähler“. Das ist nicht nett, widerspricht der freiheitlich-demokratischen Grundordnung und würde heute sicher ausreichen, Herrn Churchill vom Verfassungsschutz mindestens als „Verdachtsfall“ beobachten zu lassen.

In this episode of Your History Your Story, we're joined by internationally bestselling author and historian Giles Milton to discuss his compelling new book, “The Stalin Affair: The Impossible Alliance That Won the War.” Giles takes us deep into the high-stakes world of World War II diplomacy, where Allied leaders Franklin Roosevelt and Winston Churchill were forced to navigate the unpredictable and often explosive temperament of Soviet leader, Joseph Stalin. He also shines a light on the lesser-known men and women who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to manage Stalin and hold the fragile alliance together.Music: "With Loved Ones" Jay Man Photo(s): Courtesy of Giles MiltonThank you for supporting Your History Your Story!YHYS Patreon: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠CLICK HERE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ YHYS PayPal: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠CLICK HERE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YHYS: Social Links: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠CLICK HERE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ YHYS: Join our mailing list: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠CLICK HERE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ #yhys #yourhistoryyourstory #history #storytelling #podcast #njpodcast #youhaveastorytoo #jamesgardner #historian #storytellerTo purchase "The Stalin Affair":GilesMilton.com⁠

How can you preserve simplicity and work at a reasonable pace in an increasingly complex and rushed environment? That's the question I'm answering today.

A podcast to answer all your questions about productivity, time management, self-development, and goal planning. My name is Carl Pullein, and I am your host of this show. Two of the challenges we face today are the increasing complexity in our work life. Yet, that has been around forever. New technology requires us to learn new techniques for doing things and, perhaps, the biggest challenge of all is dealing with the speed at which things come at us.  Interestingly, the number of emails we get today is comparable to the number of letters people in the 1970s and 80s received. Yet the number of phone calls we get have dramatically dropped. That's largely due to the move towards instant messages—which were not around in the 70s and 80s.  The difference is the speed at which we are expected to respond. With a letter, there was some doubt about when the letter would arrive. It might arrive the next day, but there was always a chance it would take two or three days.  And when it did arrive, we had at least twenty four hours to respond. Today, there are some people who expect you to respond to an email immediately—no thought that you may be working on something else or in a meeting with an important customer.  So the question we should explore is how we can navigate the way we work today without letting people down, but at the same time work at a comfortable speed which minimises mistakes and leaves us feeling fulfilled at the end of the day.  So, with that stated, let me hand you over to the Mystery Podcast Voice for this week's question.  This week's question comes from Tom. Tom asks, Hi Carl, over the years, my productivity system has changed with technology. I began, like you, with a Franklin Planner in the 1990s, then I moved to Getting Things Done and managed everything digitally. These days, I am struggling to keep up, and it just seems so complicated. Do you have any thoughts on how to keep things simple? Hi Tom, thank you for your question.  One way to look at this is to remember that the basic principles of good time management and productivity will never change. Those principles are incorporated in COD—Collect, Organise and Do.  No matter how complicated or fast things get, we still need a way to collect stuff and trust that what we collect will be where we want it to be when we process it.  We need an organisation system that works for us. And that means, we can find what we need when we need it.  And finally, we want to be maximising the time we spend doing the work, so we avoid backlogs building.  It's within this framework we can evolve our systems.  Thirty years ago, we would have been collecting with pen and paper. Today, it's likely we will collect using our phones or computer. Thirty years ago we would have had stacks of file folders and a filing cabinet or two to store those folders. Today, those files will likely be held in the cloud—Google Drive, iCloud or OneDrive, for instance.  So while the tools have changed, the principles have not.  I'm a big rugby fan. I've been following Leeds Rhinos since my grandfather took me to my first game when I was five years old.  The teams that win the championships and cup games are the ones who get the basics right. In rugby, that is playing the majority of the game in the oppositions half. Being aggressive in defence and ensuring their players are disciplined—giving away silly penalties is one sure way to lose games.  The teams that lose are the ones who don't get these basics right. They try to be clever, get frustrated, and drop the ball (quite literally) and give away unnecessary penalties, which results in them giving away territory and playing the majority of the game in their own half.  The message is always the same. Get the basics right and the results will come.  This is the same for you, too, Tom. Get the basics right and that's following the principles of COD.  The problems will start when we begin trying to do multiple things at the same time. Multi-tasking is not a strategy. Sure there are some things you can do at the same time. Walking and thinking about solving a problem, listening to a podcast while doing the dishes or cleaning up the house.  But you are not going to be able to write a report, prepare a presentation and reply to your emails at the same time. These are very different types of work requiring different skills.  A report is well thought out words and conclusions. A presentation is a visual representation of your main points and writing emails is about communicating clearly in words. All requiring different parts of your brain.  This is why categorising the work you do works so well. With categorising, or chunking or batch processing—they all mean the same thing—you are grouping similar tasks together and doing them at the same time. For example, you can collect your actionable emails together and set aside thirty to sixty minutes each day for responding to them.  If you were consistent with that, you would always be on top of your mails and no one would be waiting much longer that 24 hours for a reply.  Similarly if you were responsible for sending out proposals to prospective customers, if you were to spend an hour or so on those each day, you would rarely have any backlogs and your proposals would be going out quickly without errors.  It's when we stop following these principles we become like the losing rugby teams. We've stopped following the game plan and become frustrated, which leads to mistakes which in turn means we lose the game.  Or in the world of work, we create backlogs, deadlines are missed and we feel horrible, stressed out and overwhelmed.  I've always found it fascinating to learn how productive people work. I saw recently an interview with Tim Cook, where he mentioned he wakes up at 4:00 am, and the first hour of his day is spent doing email.  I remember reading that Jack Dorsey, one of the founders of Twitter and the CEO of Square, who would schedule his days by category of work. Monday and Tuesdays were spend on marketing, Wednesdays were problem solving and Thursdays would be spent at Square and Fridays at Twitter.  They all have some structure to their days. Incidentally, this was the same for Winston Churchill and Charles Darwin. They both followed a strict structure to their days which ensured they spent time each day on the things that mattered.  While the way we work and the tools we use to do our work may change, the way we structure our days doesn't have to.  Twenty years ago, spending an hour on returning phone messages was the norm. Today, that same hour will likely be spent responding to Slack or Teams messages and email.  If you want to get control of your time and remain productive, it will be helpful to know what is important.  What is your core work? The work you are paid to do? What does that look like at a task level? Working in concepts doesn't work here. You need to go to the next level and determine what your work looks like at a task level.  An accountant will need to put numbers into a spreadsheet (or something similar) in order to get the information they need to be able to advise their clients. The question therefore becomes how much time do they need to do that each day to ensure they are on top of their work?  As a former Franklin Planner user, you will know the importance of daily and weekly planning. This is about knowing what is important today and this week. It's about allocating sufficient time to getting that work done and being strict about what you allow on your calendar.  Perhaps part of the problem we face today is the increasing demands on our time. It's easy to ask someone to jump on a Teams or Zoom call for “a few minutes” Ha! How often does five minutes turn into thirty minutes?  And because of the simplicity of doing these calls, we accept. Perhaps too readily.  I don't have Zoom or Teams on my phone. If I am not with my laptop, I cannot do a video call. It's a rule. And a non-negotiable one too.  Where are your rules? What will you accept and, more importantly, not accept?  One way you can manage this is to limit the number of meetings you have each day. If you spend seven hours of your eight hours of your work day in meetings, how will you find the time to do the work you are employed to do?  That isn't a task management issue. That's a time issue. It doesn't matter how many tasks you have to do today if you do not have the time protected for doing them. It's on you to protect that time and that doesn't matter where you are in the hierarchy chain.  If your boss expects you to be in seven hours of meetings each day and write reports, prepare presentations and respond to your emails and messages, that's an issue you need to take up with your boss. No tool or productivity system will sort that out for you.  Even with the help of AI, you will struggle to do your work with that kind of time conflict.  Now when it comes to managing your files and notes, I would say don't reinvent the wheel.  Several years ago, Microsoft and Apple's engineers released we were terrible at managing our documents. So, they began rolling out self contained folders for their professional tools such as Word and Keynote.  You no longer need to file these documents in folders you create. Instead you can save them and let your computer organise them for you. For example, if you use Word, all your word documents can be saved to the Word container folder in OneNote. Just like Google Docs. These are all kept together and you can then organise them in a variety of ways. You can do it alphabetically, the date the document was created or when it was last modified (great for when collaborating with other people). In iCloud and Google Drive, you can also organise by which documents are shared.  Your computer does the hard work so you don't have to. There's certainly no longer a need to create sophisticated file folder structures that take forever to keep organised. You don't have time for that. Let your computer do the work for you.  And not only have these companies made organising our work easier, they have been gradually improving search features too. Now as long as you know a date range, a keyword or a title, you'll be able to find any document in seconds.  There is no longer any need to manually organise your documents. The only responsibility you have is to ensure the names of the documents you have saved mean something to you. If you're downloading a document, make sure you rename it. There's some very strange file naming conventions out there.  And that's about it, Tom.  Stick to the basics of COD—Collect, Organise, Do. Be strict about what you allow on your calendar (even if that means you need to an uncomfortable talk with your boss) and let your computer do the hard work of filing for you.  I hope that has helped. Thank you for your question.  And thank you to you too for listening. It just remains for me now to with you all a very very productive week.

The chancellor, Rachel Reeves, has said the economy is "beginning to turn a corner", after figures showed that output grew by more than expected in the first three months of the year. The figures don't take into account last month's tax rises or the impact of President Trump's global tariffs. Also: Sir Keir Starmer says the UK is in talks about creating hubs in other countries for processing failed asylum seekers. And the railway carriage that was used by Sir Winston Churchill has been restored.

Seth, John and Aaron discuss their review experience with the Davidoff Winston Churchill Limited Edition 2025 The Artist https://developingpalates.com/reviews/cigar-reviews/team-cigar-review-davidoff-winston-churchill-limited-edition-2025-the-artist/

What happens when a nation drifts from its spiritual moorings? Jesse Cope tackles this profound question by examining America's foundation in Christian principles and the consequences of abandoning these truths.The episode opens with a heartfelt reminder to prioritize our relationship with God - through daily Scripture reading, prayer, and living according to biblical values. Jesse points out that our personal spiritual discipline reflects what our nation needs collectively. When we neglect these foundations, both our personal lives and our national character suffer.A centerpiece of this episode is Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's magnificent poem "The Building of the Ship." This powerful allegory of shipbuilding represents America's creation and preservation as a nation. Jesse shares the fascinating historical connection between this poem, Abraham Lincoln (who reportedly wept upon hearing it), and later, how Franklin D. Roosevelt sent its opening lines to Winston Churchill during World War II, creating a profound bond between allies during their darkest hour."Thou too sail on, O Ship of State, sail on O Union strong and great. Humanity, with all its fears, with all the hopes of future years, is hanging breathless on thy fate." These words resonated deeply with leaders who understood that America's strength came not from abandoning its principles but from embracing them more fully.The episode takes a sobering turn as Jesse reads accounts from Fox's Book of Martyrs, detailing the horrific persecution Christians faced in the second century. These stories serve as powerful reminders of the price paid for faith throughout history and challenge us to consider what we would sacrifice to preserve religious freedom today.Jesse concludes with a thought-provoking challenge: "We can't have America without God at the wheel and His Son, Jesus Christ, guiding it and the Holy Spirit. It's just not going to work. You can't have liberty where the Holy Spirit is not." He reminds us that when we compromise truth in the name of tolerance, we aren't being kind but cruel - a powerful reminder that genuine love speaks truth, even when difficult.Join us for this enlightening exploration of faith, liberty, and America's spiritual heritage - and consider what we must preserve to ensure our ship of state continues to sail through the storms ahead.Support the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribe

It makes sense to be authentic when presenting, because this is the easiest state to maintain.  As someone wise once noted, “if you are going to be a liar you need a stupendous memory to keep up with who you told what”.  Presenting is something similar.  Maintaining a fiction in front of an audience takes a lot of skill.  In fact, if you have that much skill, why worry about faking it in the first place?  Well, there is a place for fakery when presenting, but we need to know when is appropriate. We know that the way we think about things influences how we well we do.  Imposter syndrome is a common state of mind though amongst people, across a broad range of situations.  You might write a blog and put it up on your website, or waffle away on Clubhouse or pontificate to an audience, live or online.  But who are you to talk about this subject? Are you saying anything worthwhile or just regurgitating what far cleverer people have already said?  Do you really know this subject?  Is your experience valuable or even relevant to others?  Are you really qualified to give advice to people running far bigger organisations that your own? Looking over that list, it can be enough to scare you off emerging from the deep depths of your comfy comfort zone ever again.  So, we have to create a positive mindset that “yes”, we have every right to address this subject area, even if we feel a fake when compared to other more famous or clever people.  The funny thing is they suffer the same imposter syndrome too, relative to their illustrious peers.  Academics, for example, are generally a put upon group, because they have to publish their research to get ahead in their careers.  When they publish it, they are now exposing the weaknesses of their intellectual process, their inadequate research ability  or their dubious writing skills, to the entire expert community in their area of defined speciality. Confidence warrants confidence.  If we sound and look confident, most people are likely to ignore the emperor has no clothes and is not perfect.  They will be carried away with our enthusiasm for our subject, with our passionate belief in our findings and our commitment to share the knowledge. The problems crop up when we become nervous speaking in front of others.  Normally, we are quite even keeled and confident, but with all of those beady sets of eyes drilling holes into us, we start to wobble.  Suddenly, our imposter syndrome fears come flooding forth and soon our usual cool, calm, collected façade is torn to shreds, as we are exposed as a self doubting, insecure, fake. Now how would the audience know we are a fake?  Well, we very helpfully tell them, by saying daft things like, “I am rather nervous today”.  Or “I am not very good at presenting”. Or “I didn't have much time to put this presentation together and I am afraid it won't be very good” and any other of the motley collection of dubious, sympathy seeking, self-serving, cop out proclamations.  Do us all a favour and keep all of this imposter syndrome stuff to yourself.  Here is a secret - we all want you to succeed. If you are nervous presenting then fake it, such that you appear at least “normal”, rather than being reduced to a quivering tower of jelly on stage.  If your knees are knocking from the nerves, then stand behind the podium until you feel more comfortable to walk around.  If your hands are shaking and you have to hold a microphone, use both hands and draw it on to your chest, so that your body secures the erratically jiggling instrument.  If your throat is parched, then have warm, room temperature rather than iced water, close by and drink it when you need it.  The iced water constricts your throat and you don't want that, so forgo the usual venue offered beverage and request the no ice alternative.  If you begin to speak and instead of a mellifluent note, out pops a constrained, awkward, embarrassing squeak, then clear your throat and try again.  If you stumble on the pronunciation of a word, try again. If you get the speech points order mixed up or miss one, then fake it and keep going, offering not a hint of anything untoward occurring. If you act enthusiastically, you will become enthusiastic.  If you act confidently, you will become confident.  Yes you might be nervous, but as Winston Churchill said, “if you are going through hell, keep going”.  That is the point. No matter what happens, the show must go on and that means you must keep going.  If it is a disaster, then dust yourself off and climb back in saddle.  As the Japanese saying goes, nana korobi ya oki (七転び八起き) - “fall down seven times, get up eight times”.  

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit wisdomofcrowds.liveOur special guest this week, David Polansky is a political theorist and commentator who lives in Canada. A frequent contributor to Wisdom of Crowds, he joins Shadi Hamid and Damir Marusic to discuss two excellent recent essays. The first one, titled “Does Canada Exist?” is about Canadian national identity, an issue that has become more relevant since Donald Trump has taken to calling Canada the 51st state, and while some in the western Canadian province of Alberta has floated the idea of seceding from the rest of Canada. Polansky's article was quoted in the New York Times and National Post.David's most recent peace, “Michael Jordan Yes; Winston Churchill No?” is about what makes politicians great and whether political greatness (in terms of impact) can be distinguished from moral goodness. After one hundred days of Trump, it is an important question to ask.What follows is a rollicking and often hilarious conversation in which various politicians — Justin Trudeau, Bill Clinton, Donald Trump — are sized up according to the standards of classical greatness and found wanting. Damir and Shadi nevertheless argue that Trump is the most consequential president since FDR. Polansky argues that Trump's impact is in large part due to the fact that the Left is lost right now.

Spies In My Blood: A Polish Family's Secret Fight Against Nazis & Communists (Polestar-Media, 2025) is the true story of two brothers raised in New York by WWII exiles and their journey to Poland. Each takes a different path to infiltrate the Communist secret police on a mission to uncover the truth about their family of soldiers, spies, and assassins. Which brother would go into the family business?Alex Storozynski was the first in his family born in the United States, a new leaf on the family tree. When he set out to find his roots in Poland during the Cold War, his Mama stitched secret pockets into boxer shorts where he could hide his cash, passport, and important documents. Before he left to go behind the Iron Curtain, his mother warned him: “Be careful of your brother's friends.” His big brother George, a banker, told him, “Mama doesn't want you to go into the family business.”As an aspiring journalist, Storozynski interviewed Polish rock stars, filmmakers, and artists fighting censorship. He navigated the black market and learned to thrive in the surreal and repressive system. He persuaded the Communist government to give him a scholarship to write a doctoral dissertation about the most hated man in Poland, the military regime's press spokesman, Jerzy Urban. But he asked too many questions.Storozynski attended Urban's press conferences with American journalists and met underground Solidarity activists trying to overthrow the government. He translated interviews with opposition leaders like Lech Wałesa for The Philadelphia Inquirer and The Boston Globe.There's a Polish saying, “You can't fool your genes; it's in your blood.” The Communist secret police (SB) stole Storozynski's visa and interrogated him. When Senator Ted Kennedy arrived in Warsaw to give The Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Award to Adam Michnik and the parents of martyred opposition priest Father Jerzy Popiełuszko, Storozynski spent time with the Kennedy clan and taught them to sing Sto Lat (May He Live 100 Years) to the opposition.The SB had enough. After investigating Alex Storozynski, they wrote: “The findings in the case show that he is familiar with the working methods of special services.” Storozynski was declared an “enemy of the state” and banned from Communist Poland.This is the true story of Alex Storozynski's quest to uncover the nitty-gritty of three generations of spies in his blood.Winston Churchill's words serve as a stark warning: “Those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.” With the Russian Army again trying to move the border between East and Western Europe, the dormant Cold War has reignited a hot war. Russia's invasion of sovereign nations and killing of Ukrainians is a grim reminder of the need to avoid repeating history. Motorized terror squads are once again murdering Jews, and civilian bombing deaths are written off as collateral damage. The gravity of the situation cannot be overstated. Alex Storozynski is a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, award-winning author, filmmaker, songwriter, and President Emeritus & Chairman of the Board of The Kosciuszko Foundation.Stephen Satkiewicz is an independent scholar whose research areas are related to Civilizational Sciences, Social Complexity, Big History, Historical Sociology, military history, War studies, International Relations, Geopolitics, as well as Russian and East European history.

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. Flygplanen, inklusive N3289 ('DW-K') och R6595 ('DW-O'), flyger i den karakteristiska "vic"-formationen som användes av Royal Air Force under Slaget om Storbritannien.

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.

As I'm off recording at Dumfries House at the moment, here's selection of interviews from past Boswell Book Festival events including Lady Anne Glenconner, founder of Private Eye Richard Ingrams, biographer Ben McIntyre, Winston Churchill's granddaughter Emma Soames, Andrew Cotter with Olive and Mabel, and we're Cloistered with Catherine Coldstream.

Today is the 80th anniversary of ‘Victory in Europe Day', but despite the popular impression of the joyous street parties and jubilant crowds that took over London on 8th May, 1945, the reality was rather more complex.  For starters, the terms of Germany's surrender itself had displeased the Soviet Union, and Stalin insisted on a second, official surrender in Berlin. This meant that while the West celebrated on May 8th, Russia and its allies marked Victory Day on May 9th.  Meanwhile, in Britain, the logistics behind our ‘spontaneous' celebrations had actually been in the works since D-Day, with the working title of Ceasefire Day. Winston Churchill, amongst his many more sombre duties, was tasked with ensuring that the country had enough beer and bunting. And not everyone came out in the streets. While a million people flooded central London, many others stayed home, exhausted and mourning loved ones lost in the war. The sound of church bells—silent for five years except in case of invasion—was an emotional moment for many.  In this special 80th anniversary episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly consider the tricky dynamics of VE Day for President Truman, just weeks after Franklin D. Roosevelt had died; explain how time zone differences caused confusion in Australia and New Zealand; and discover the ultimate celebratory foodstuff: mashed parsnips… Further Reading: • ‘What You Need To Know About VE Day 8 May 1945' (Imperial War Museums): https://www.iwm.org.uk/history/what-you-need-to-know-about-ve-day • ‘VE Day' (Bletchley Park): https://bletchleypark.org.uk/our-story/ve-day/ • ‘V E Day in London - 1945' (Movietone, 1945): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NEavcsrMoMw Love the show?

«Raggiunto un accordo di svolta con il Regno Unito, è fantastico per entrambe le nazioni». Lo ha detto il presidente degli Stati Uniti, Donald Trump. Con l'accordo, il Regno Unito darà maggior accesso alla carne e all'etanolo statunitensi e saranno ridotte le barriere non tariffarie. Inoltre, «Stati Uniti e Regno Unito lavoreranno insieme sull'acciaio». Trump ha detto di voler «ringraziare il primo ministro Keir Starmer», definendolo «eccezionale» e affermando che i due Paesi hanno un «ottimo rapporto». Trump ha dichiarato che «gli ultimi dettagli sono in fase di stesura», ma che «quasi tutto è stato approvato». Anche il primo ministro britannico Keir Starmer ha definito «un giorno storico» quello dell'annuncio da parte del suo omologo americano Donald Trump di un accordo commerciale tra Usa e Gran Bretagna. Un annuncio che il premier britannico ha paragonato a quello di Winston Churchill della «Vittoria in Europa esattamente 80 anni fa». Secondo il presidente americano, l'intesa porterà 5 miliardi di dollari in nuove opportunità di esportazione per allevatori, agricoltori e produttori statunitensi, in particolare nei settori di carne bovina ed etanolo. Trump ha anche previsto entrate pari a 6 miliardi di dollari derivanti dal dazio universale del 10% che resterà in vigore sul Regno Unito, nonostante l'accordo. Ne parliamo con Giorgia Scaturro, corrispondente radio 24 da Londra.Baroni: «Piccole imprese più forti e sicure per rispondere alle sfide globali» Domani si apre il Forum annuale Piccola Industria a Firenze che sarà concluso, sabato mattina, dal presidente nazionale di Confindustria Emanuele Orsini. Sarà l'occasione per discutere dell'urgenza di avere Pmi forti e sicure per affrontare alcune delle sfide cruciali per le piccole e medie imprese italiane. Ci sono rischi, alimentati dall incertezza attuale, ma anche occasioni di crescita e di innovazione.«Energia, cybersecurity, aerospazio-difesa e impatti del cambiamento climatico: sono i quattro grandi temi su cui vogliamo concentrare la nostra riflessione. Tenendo conto del contesto in cui siamo oggi, sia a livello globale che europeo, con una Ue che deve cambiare: ridurre la burocrazia come previsto dal Pacchetto Omnibus previsto dalla nuova commissione europea - e concentrarsi sulla politica industriale», dice Giovanni Baroni, presidente della Piccola industria di Confindustria, anticipando i contenuti del Forum annuale. «Siamo sempre stati come Piccola precursori sui grandi temi, emersi anche dalle Assise organizzate sotto la mia presidenza a giugno del 2022 a Bari. L energia, quando ancora non era esploso il problema dei costi, l Intelligenza artificiale, che abbiamo affrontato anche con il road show sul territorio partito due anni fa, per far solo alcuni esempi. Oggi in questo periodo di guerre e di grandi cambiamenti che stanno modificando gli equilibri mondiali la sicurezza è un fattore determinante, in tutti i suoi aspetti. Siamo minacciati, ma abbiamo anche opportunità e spazi per crescere», dice Baroni. Interviene proprio Giovanni Baroni, presidente della Piccola industria di Confindustria

Nazitysklands anfall på Norge och Danmark den 9 april 1940 var resultatet av en kedja av strategiska beslut av både de allierade och Nazityskland. Tyskarna behövde hamnar i Norge för kriget på Atlanten och för att säkra de svenska malmtransporterna via Narvik, samtidigt som de Allierade ville förhindra samma export.Där Danmark kapitulerade nästan utan strid skulle norrmännen kämpa i två månader. Men det svaga norska försvaret, flera misstag kring mobiliseringen i kombination med en förvirrad hjälp från britterna och fransmännen beseglade norrmännens öde. Den tyska ockupationen i Norge skulle bli hård, medan danskarna som behöll sin regering fick det lättare fram till 1943.Detta är tredje delen av sju om andra världskriget. Programledaren Urban Lindstedt samtalar med Martin Hårdstedt, professor i historia vid Umeå universitet.Redan när kriget bröt ut den 1 september 1939 förklarade Norge och Danmark sig neutrala. Norges försvar var huvudsakligen inriktade på övervakningsuppgifter, eftersom landets geografiska läge ansågs vara en garanti mot storskaliga invasionsförsök. Och man förlitade sig på att brittiska Royal Navy skulle sätta stopp för en invasion.De allierade ville stoppa den svenska malmexporten till Tyskland via Narvik i Norge och de planerade att besätta de svenska malmfälten med ursäkten att kunna skicka hjälp till Finland. Tyskarna var snarare ute efter hamnar i Norge för kriget på Atlanten än att säkra malmimporten från Sverige.Den 9 april 1940 inledde Hitler Operation Weserübung, som innebar en fullskalig invasion av Danmark och Norge. Norska styrkor svarade med modigt motstånd, men trots deras ansträngningar lyckades de tyska styrkorna ta kontroll över huvudstäderna i både Danmark och Norge inom loppet av en dag. Den tyska kryssaren Blücher sänktes av den norska kustförsvar vid Oscarsborg i inloppet till Oslo, vilket fördröjde fångandet av huvudstaden och tillät kungafamiljen, regeringen och Stortinget att fly norrut med extratåg.I början av 1940 fick de norska myndigheterna flera varningar om att något var på gång. Mötet mellan Hitler och Vidkun Quisling, ledaren för det norska nazistpartiet Nasjonal Samling, i december 1939 stärkte Hitlers övertygelse om att Norge saknade viljan och förmågan att motsätta sig brittiska överträdelser av neutraliteten.Vid samma tidpunkt beslutade de allierade att genomföra en plan utarbetad av Winston Churchill för att minera norska vatten inom tre-milsgränsen. Den 8 april 1940 inleddes minläggningen (i Vestfjorden nära Narvik), och den 9 april kom det tyska angreppet.Ett nattligt ultimatum till den norska regeringen om att samarbeta med de tyska styrkorna avvisades. Under loppet av 9 april lyckades tyskarna erövra de viktigaste hamnstäderna, inklusive Oslo, Bergen, Trondheim och Narvik. Dock försenade sänkningen av den tyska kryssaren Blücher av den norska kustförsvar vid Oscarsborg i inloppet till Oslo erövringen av huvudstaden och tillät kungafamiljen, regeringen och Stortinget att avgå med extratåg till norr.Bild: Tyska Wehrmacht i Norge den 9 april 1940.

Winston Churchill had only been Prime Minister for three months when, on 20th August, 1940, he delivered ‘The Few' - one of his most iconic speeches - in the House of Commons.  Arion, Rebecca and Olly consider how and why Churchill's paean to the courage of RAF pilots during the Battle of Britain has been so well-remembered - albeit mainly for a quote that appears in the middle of a lengthy address: “Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few”. In this episode, The Retrospectors reveal why Churchill laboured for hours on his most famous speeches; consider how his pronouncements played a crucial role in boosting national morale; and explore how he himself transformed from a divisive figure to a unifying PM during this pivotal time in British history...

Hur hanterar man ett land i fullkomlig kollaps, ockuperat av tre militära stormakter och dessutom skyldigt till omänskliga brott mot mänskligheten?Perioden efter Hitlers död och den tyska kapitulationen var på intet sätt enkel. Redan i fredsförhandlingarna kan man ana de konfliktytor som, inom loppet av bara några år, skulle växa till en ny global stormaktskonflikt. Vad skulle det bli av Tyskland, och hur skulle Europas framtid se ut?I dagens avsnitt av Militärhistoriepodden diskuterar idéhistorikern Peter Bennesved och professorn i historia Martin Hårdstedt krigsslutet 1945 och perioden fram till kalla krigets utbrott.Det största problemet efter 1945 var det faktum att den allians som slutligen hade besegrat Nazityskland egentligen hade mycket lite gemensamt – förutom fiendskapen mot Hitler. När Hitler avslutade sitt liv i Berlin och Tyskland till sist hade kapitulerat, accentuerades omedelbart skillnaderna i stormakternas syn på framtiden. En kärnfråga var särskilt de ockuperade folkens suveränitet och deras rätt att bestämma sin egen framtid genom fria val.Medan USA och Storbritannien kunde enas om att denna princip skulle gälla, var Sovjetunionen inte särskilt intresserad av att låta de nyförvärvade landområdena i Östeuropa själva forma sin framtid. Det hjälpte förstås inte heller att de tre stormakterna representerade helt olika samhällsideologier, som i grunden var antagonistiska gentemot varandra.Trots försöken att etablera samsyn under Potsdamkonferensen 1945 och bildandet av Förenta Nationerna samma höst, fördjupades konflikten snabbt. Misstänksamhet präglade relationen mellan parterna, och snart föll järnridån. Sovjetunionen förhindrade att Marshallhjälpen nådde de ockuperade staterna i Östeuropa, blockerade Berlin och organiserade en kupp i Tjeckoslovakien för att säkra ett Sovjetvänligt styre. Samtidigt understödde Sovjetunionen revolutionära grupper i Grekland i syfte att även där vända utvecklingen till sin fördel.Bara fyra år efter krigets slut nådde konflikten sin logiska kulmen när de västliga demokratierna enades under Washingtonfördraget i april 1949. Nato bildades – och kalla kriget var ett faktum.Bild: Från vänster: Storbritanniens premiärminister Winston Churchill, USA:s president Harry S. Truman och Sovjetunionens ledare Josef Stalin under Potsdamkonferensen sommaren 1945. Här försökte de allierade enas om efterkrigstidens Europa – men redan då började sprickorna i samarbetet visa sig. Wikipedia. Public Domain.Klippare: Emanuel Lehtonen Hosted on Acast.

1946, in the wake of the Allies winning World War II, Sir Winston Churchill came to the US and gave his famous (and famously cautionary) "Iron Curtain" speech at a small college in Mid-Missouri. That school, Westminster College, is the home of America's National Churchill Museum, which celebrates the life, work, thought, and leadership of the "British Bulldog." How does a museum dedicated to the man who saved Western liberal democracy endeavor to stay relevant at a moment when, around the world, democracy itself seems endangered? Our guest is Timothy Riley, Director and Chief Curator of this museum.

What happens when two of the world's oldest and most influential religions—Judaism and Catholicism—stand side by side? Today, we explore the shared roots, divergent paths, painful history, and surprising points of connection between these two traditions. From ancient Israel to Vatican II, from the Hebrew Bible to the New Testament, and from centuries of tension to moments of true dialogue, we ask: What do Jews and Catholics really believe about one another? How have theology, politics, and history shaped that relationship—and where do we go from here?Join us as we unpack the theological crossroads, cultural intersections, and the evolving conversation between Catholicism and Judaism—past, present, and future.Want more history?

Our conversation covers Churchill's diverse roles and personal attributes, from his military valour to his romanticism, and even his encounters with notable figures like Einstein and Queen Elizabeth II. Sinclair shares how Churchill's fearless and multifaceted nature made him an extraordinary figure, one who continually adapted to monumental changes in society.

A British motoring icon made its debut at the Amsterdam Motor Show on 30th April, 1948: the Land Rover. The UK's first off-road vehicle (that wasn't a tractor!) had been sketched in sand by its creator, Maurice Wilks.  Heavily inspired by the American Willys Jeep, the first Land Rovers were simple, no-frills workhorses with no roof, no heater, and barely any doors — just half-height flaps to keep you from falling out. And at £450, they were priced for farmers, not aristocrats. But the car soon caught on, with everyone from Winston Churchill to Bob Marley. Despite being noisy, leaky and slow, the Land Rover's charm wasn't about comfort — it was about practicality, reliability, and an unmistakably rugged, "real" vibe that everyone could get behind. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly unpick how the marque inspired explorers, aid workers, and adventurers; consider why the British Army abandoned the vehicle in the 21st century; and discover why the steering wheel on the first models was placed in the middle… Further Reading: • ‘Why everyone wants a classic Land Rover' (The Times, 2022): https://www.thetimes.com/article/7e9e5d1e-7dec-11ec-b216-7a521e8f125c • ‘Land Rover Design - 70 Years of Success by Nick Hull' (David & Charles, 2018): https://www.google.co.uk/books/edition/Land_Rover_Design_70_Years_of_Success/w9IjEQAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=maurice+wilks&pg=PT19&printsec=frontcover • ‘History Of Land Rover: Discover the Amazing Story Behind the Land Rover!'

The Problem of Sexual Extortion Sexual extortion, or “Sextortion” as it is sometimes called, is a new and growing problem.  In the 21st century, there have been various problems related to the “connectedness” that being online offers, and sometimes these problems are not evenly divided among the sexes.  Sexual extortion is one of the newer ones.  Young men seem to be particularly susceptible not just to being fooled into seeking and sharing nude pictures but also into an even darker situation when those pictures are used against them.  Because of this, we wanted to release a short episode encouraging christian parents and ministers to do two things:  Parents - Talk with your children about why God invented sex but also the dangers associated with it.   All christians - Be clear that Christ died for all sins, and paid for all guilt and shame in the believer's life so that we don't have to fear consequences related to sin, even in our very online age.   This too shall pass.  "The Empires of the future will be Empires of the Mind." - Winston Churchill

The spiritual foundations of America stand at a crossroads. In this deeply reflective episode, Jesse Cope tackles the challenging question of what truly lies at the heart of American liberty—and whether we can preserve it without returning to our Christian roots.Jesse begins with a soul-searching examination of personal priorities. "Have you made time for God today?" he asks, before extending this question to our relationships: "If you're married, do you act like it? Does your spouse know it?" These probing questions set the tone for an episode that consistently challenges listeners to align their professed beliefs with their daily actions.Drawing from William Manchester's biography of Winston Churchill, Jesse explores how propaganda tactics have been employed throughout history to manipulate public perception. He draws unsettling parallels between Nazi Germany's misinformation campaigns and modern cultural battles over education, gender ideology, and parental rights. These historical lessons serve as a warning about what happens when societies drift from their moral anchors.The heart of the episode centers on George Washington's prayer journal—a powerful historical document that reveals America's first president as a man deeply committed to Christian faith and principles. Washington's humble prayers, seeking divine guidance in both personal conduct and national leadership, directly challenge contemporary narratives that suggest America's founders intended to create a secular nation. "There's no way they looked for this kind of guidance from God and Jesus Christ and then wanted to create a country where God had no role," Jesse observes.Through an examination of Matthew 4, Jesse confronts the many forms of modern idolatry that compete for our allegiance—from careers and entertainment to social media and materialism. His candid self-reflection creates space for listeners to honestly assess their own spiritual priorities.Ready to reconnect with America's spiritual heritage? Listen now and discover how the prayers of Washington might still guide our nation through today's challenges. Then share this episode with someone struggling to see the connection between faith and liberty in our increasingly divided culture.Support the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribe

Today's episode is the second of our two recent live recordings of PPF, this one in front of an audience at the Bath Curious Minds Festival. David talks to historian Robert Saunders about the life of Winston Churchill and all its twists and turns of fortune: from disgrace in WWI, economic disaster in the 1920s, wilderness in the 1930s, through to redemption in 1945 and rejection by the voters in the same year. How to make sense of it all? Is there a thread that connects the ups and downs? Has there ever – anywhere – been another political life like it? Out now on PPF+: David discusses the influence of Marinetti's Futurist Manifesto (1909) – from cars to cod liver oil, from fascism to techno-optimism, from the madness of pre-WWI Europe to the craziness of Silicon Valley today.

[00:30] The Radical Left Loves Criminals (32 minutes) MS-13 illegal immigrant criminal Kilmar Abrego Garcia is the Democrats' anti-deportation poster child, but his nefarious criminal past raises serious questions about why the Democrats are so focused on protecting due process for this man who isn't even a U.S. citizen. The radical left's heart is with criminal illegals, but even CNN admits that most of America thinks President Donald Trump's immigration policy restrictions are on the right track. [32:00] Rewriting World War II History (23 minutes) Some American conservatives are painting Winston Churchill as the villain of World War II while defending Adolf Hitler. Rewriting World War II history is dangerous because that history is now repeating itself.
