    EPISODE 4

    The Greatest Victory of All Time?

    In this episode, we will tackle the German victory in the West and in particular over France in 1940. Even though it’s been partly overshadowed by later events in the war, at the time it was rightly seen as one of the greatest military victories of all time. It was a short but decisive campaign and it is still the source of all sorts of misunderstandings and controversy. Do you like our podcast? Then please leave us a review, it helps us a lot!
