  • WWII brought to life!

    Brilliant podcast. True life stories interwoven with true to life information. Each episode building onto the next and from the last. The only thing is the actors and the real life people hard to tell apart, but this did not detract from a well thought out podcast. I can’t wait for the next facet of WWII Britain to be done like this.

  • Fascinating and detailed

    A lot of details that effected the planes manufacture were very good. The research seems genuine and thorough, I really enjoyed it. The only reason for deducting 1 star was the music. Modern hard Rock music for a WW2 history subject was a little weird and out of place, as if it was trying to be “cool.” Everything else was brilliant though, loved it.
