What a great podcast, informative, interesting and engaging with no one escape ever being the same story,,except for maybe the opportunistic borrowing of other people bikes to assist in getting away.
10/10 loved all of them Great stories great history brings it all back to life Keep it up
I listen to a hell of a lot of podcasts and this is easily my favourite.
It’s tight in scope and excellently researched and presented.
It also features some of the most incredibly consistent tales of derring-do. Truthfully, every single story is remarkable.
I’d recommend it to anyone who has even a passing interest in the Second World War.
So glad I found this podcast. What a find!
