Achtung! Achtung!
Comedian Al Murray and historian James Holland discuss all matters WW2.
WW2 Pod: We Have Ways of Making You Talk is a bi-weekly show exploring the war in close up. James and Al have a stunning knowledge of their subject, but don't expect a linear narrative. The boys love a tangent and a forgotten tale.
We Have Ways of Making You Talk roams down forgotten front lines, casts new villains and makes the case for unlikely heroes.

USA: War Is Hell - A Soldier’s Story
In a follow up to our superb episode in which John McManus opened up the archives to a glut of post-war surveys of US soldiers, the boys really dig into the harrowing experience of fighting in the Italian campaign.
Not only do we look at the nightmarish conditions in Europe, but also the racism and bloodthrist of American soldiers against Japanese troops.

Just brilliant
Al Murray’s shines and James Holland is a master of his craft making history feel alive and about people. Their enthusiastic storytelling is complemented by their encyclopedic knowledge of military history. I would pay for this and I’m sure I’m gonna at some point. Five incredible big stars.
