S5 E01 - Roger Moorhouse on Cavalry Against Tanks

This week Paul and Kyle are joined by Roger Moorhouse. Historian, broadcaster and author of “First to Fight”, “The Devil’s Alliance” and “Berlin At War”. He has featured in several documentaries including “Hitler’s Circle of Evil” and he joins us to talk about the almost eternal myth that the Polish Army charged tanks with Cavalry at the outbreak of World War 2.

Aside from this being total nonsense he tells us about how the Poles were not a defunct outdated force, how they were fighting a war on two fronts, the airforce wasn’t destroyed on the ground and that they stalled the German offensive in many places.

If you'd like to know more about this subject then why not buy a copy of his books from the History Rage Bookshop.
