  • USA: War Is Hell - A Soldier’s Story

    USA: War Is Hell - A Soldier’s Story
    Apr 30 2024
    In a follow up to our superb episode in which John McManus opened up the archives to a glut of post-war surveys of US soldiers, the boys really dig into the harrowing experience of fighting in the Italian campaign. Not only do we look at the nightmarish conditions in Europe, but also the racism and bloodthrist of American soldiers against Japanese troops.

Great podcast

informative, fun, hard hitting and just downright enjoyable, telling untold/unheard stories of not just the main war but all the little side lines of action

So interesting

What's not to like. Brilliant revaluation of the second world war. Presented by two people who plainly love this period of history, who have a deep understanding of the subject and dare I say love each other in a stiff upper lip sort of way.

Love it

I’m knew to this podcast as I kept seeing interesting snippets on Twitter. I think both guys are great and you can tell they are generally interested in the history as they are so enthusiastic and knowledgeable on the subjects covered. Top work!

An eye opener

Hadn't really thought about '43 as being a pivotal part of Ww2. Great listen.

Both interesting and entertaining in equal measure.

I've been listening for a year, and have listened to over 500 episodes so far. It's a great podcast that both educates and entertains brilliantly. I can't recommend it highly enough ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Powerful, funny, and moving.

The podcast as a whole is fascinating, but this episode could have been hours longer and still amazing.
