I'm indebted to my friend 'R' for telling me about this podcast , very interesting and scholarly with over 200 episodes about various subjects of World War Two .Home – We Have Ways of Making You Talk Podcast (wehavewayspod.com) Just been listening about the British Auxiliary units who were to be the British resistance in the event of the German invasion , still shrouded in mystery after all these years .
I listened to that particular post a few weeks ago as a painting accompaniment. Amazing stuff.
ReplyDeleteIt’s generally an interesting podcast anyway, but that was especially good.
Another good one is ‘The Rest is History’.
Will check up on that one as well , podcasts are my main painting accompaniment
DeleteThe interesting thing is that James Holland’s brother Tom, who also writes history books, co-presents ‘The Rest is History’.
DeleteTony - check out the Coleshill House website about auxiliaries - fascainting for "what if" scenarios and skirmishes Operation Sealion etc

It has a local section for many parts of the country. Based on this I did some digging around in archives for my local area (not saying where) for the main commanding and liaison officers who turned out to be interesting characters.
It's a fascinating subject with the truth still being uncovered after all these years .
