Episode 11: More Myths
Oct 9, 202401:01:51Tap to summarizeIn this episode, we are returning to the core theme of this podcast series, and this is busting myths and taking a closer look at overly convenient truths - those that are too good and too fantastic to be true. The list of these myths is endless, which is a good thing, because it means we can continue with the podcast series for a long time. Of course, one has to pick and choose what myths to bust, and, in this episode, we will take a closer look at some of the more famous, or infamous, myths, from both the Western and Eastern front.

Episode 10: Stalingrad - the battle and the myths
Oct 2, 202401:27:53Tap to summarizeIn this episode, we’re diving into the Battle of Stalingrad – often seen as THE turning point of World War Two and the culmination point of Nazi Germany’s total war in the East. It’s perhaps the bitterest and bloodiest example of urban warfare, and like most big battles, it has given rise to myths that deserve a critical look.Do you like our podcast?Then please leave us a review, it helps us a lot!Support the Show via Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/WW2BothSidesofTheWireSupport via Paypal: https://battleguide.co.uk/bsow-paypalE-Mail: both-sides@battleguide.co.ukWebsite: https://battleguide.co.uk/bsowBattle Guide YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@BattleGuideVTOur WW1 Podcast: https://battleguide.co.uk/nsqIf you want to keep your finger on the pulse of what the team at Battle Guide have been getting up to, why not sign up to our monthly newsletter: https://battleguide.co.uk/newsletterTwitter:@jesse_history@BattleguideVTCredits:- Host: Prof. Dr. Matthias Strohn & Jesse Alexander- Production & Editing: Linus Klaßen Learn more about your ad choices.

Episode 9: How the Allies Won – More Than Numbers
Sep 25, 202401:14:26Tap to summarizeIn this episode we’ll get to grips with what might seem like a simple question – why and how did the Allies win the Second World War. The usual answer is that it was superior numbers. These matter, but we think that the answers go far beyond the statistic, in order to get to grips with all of this, we have to lift some of the fog of war.Do you like our podcast?Then please leave us a review, it helps us a lot!Support the Show via Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/WW2BothSidesofTheWireSupport via Paypal: https://battleguide.co.uk/bsow-paypalE-Mail: both-sides@battleguide.co.ukWebsite: https://battleguide.co.uk/bsowBattle Guide YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@BattleGuideVTOur WW1 Podcast: https://battleguide.co.uk/nsqIf you want to keep your finger on the pulse of what the team at Battle Guide have been getting up to, why not sign up to our monthly newsletter: https://battleguide.co.uk/newsletterTwitter:@jesse_history@BattleguideVT Learn more about your ad choices.
