Join Dev Ramsamy and I as we discuss the weapons & equipment, composition & performance of, and, most importantly, the men that comprised these units.

    EP26 - The Real Story of Operation Pegasus w/Jo Hook & Edwin Popken

    Send us a text Just a cracking episode. Two hours of all things Operation Pegasus (and a bunch of stuff that isn't!)...just a tour-de-force...everything you ever wanted to know about the rescue of the Red Devils that was featured in Band of Brothers Episode 5 "Crossroads," all in one place. It was more complex than shown in the miniseries. So many moving pieces, and so many times it could have gone pear-shaped. But through dedication and perseverance, the Allies made it work.

    Send us a text D-Day morning...so many violent clashes between groups of US paratroopers and German defenders. Holdy was no different. Join me for a deep dive on the fighting in and around the small Norman hamlet.
