History Rage Paul Bavill & Kyle Glover

This week we are joined by Norfolk Historian and researcher from University of East Anglia, Dr. Danny Buck who wants to get a few things off his chest like 'WE DON'T BURN WITCHES AND THEY'RE NOT ALL OLD HERBALISTS'.
We'll be talking about ducking and water trials, the background to witch panics, 17th Century attitudes to religion and community, and bizarrely, Herring Pirates.

This week we welcome author and Head of Non Fiction for Head of Zeus Books, Iain MacGregor and Iain wants to rage about Stalingrad. How the Battle just should never have happened in the first place, it was completely unnecessary and how Paulus has been scapegoated for the surrender when he was just the wrong guy.
We talk about the myth of Pavlov's House, the propaganda war and just how do you manage to find the truth of a story when your sources are the Third Reich and Stalin's Russia.
You can pre-order Iain's book "The Lighthouse of Stalingrad" at the History Rage Bookshop and you can follow him on Twitter @Iain_MacGregor1

This week welcome US Army Historian Dr. Grant Harward to open Series 7 and he wants to rage that ROMANIAN OFFICERS IN WORLD WAR 1 ARE NOT MAKE UP WEARING FOPS! How niche is that?

If you’d like to know more then you can start with Grant’s excellent book on Romania in WW2 here and you can follow him on Twitter @GHarward

This week welcome Dr. Robbie MacNiven to Rage Towers and he wants to rage about the American War of Independence, or Revolutionary War if you will… and let’s be fair who in the UK doesn’t want to rage about that? We’re talking about how plucky guerrillas didn’t actually slaughter the unprepared stuffy British Regular Army.
We’ll be taking about how the bulk of people on both sides were experienced in irregular warfare, how alliances with Native Americans were important, how the atrocities featured in film didn’t happen and how many atrocities were committed by the rebels.
You can learn more about this by following Robbie on Twitter at @RobbieMacNiven

This week we’re getting techy, very techie, as we welcome Heritage Consultant from the National Museum of Computing Gavin Clarke to rage that COLOSSUS DIDN’T BREAK ENIGMA!
We’ll be talking about the difference between COLOSSUS and the BOMBA, we’ll be talking the difference between ENIGMA and LORENZ, how the respective machines actually didn’t decode and translate for you, and some of the many people in the Bletchley Park team that get eclipsed by Alan Turing.
If you would like to know more then you can, and should, visit the National Museum of Computing at Bletchley Park where you can see a fully working replica of COLOSSUS. You can follow the museum on Twitter @tnmoc or see their website at www.tnmoc.org and you can see Gavin’s work at www.blendedpast.com and follow him on Twitter @blendedpast
