In today’s episode we are going to visit a global battlefield of the Second World War. But this battlefield is not an operational campaign in Europe or in the Pacific – its the controversial and political battle of our collective memory of World War Two. 80 years after the war ended, what does the war mean to us and why, and how is it made to serve current political goals?

In this episode, we’ll venture into the fascinating but treacherous realm of the counterfactual, the what-ifs of the Second World War. There are endless topics among these might-have-beens, but today we’ll dig into the invasion that never was: Operation Sea Lion, the German Plan to invade Britain in 1940. Do you like our podcast?

In this episode we’re going to talk about the biggest operational military defeat that Germany has ever suffered in its history, a campaign that completely destroyed an entire German Army group in a matter of weeks. Despite the massive scale of the damage inflicted and the immense operational achievement it represents, this operation gets nearly no attention in the English-speaking world. I am talking, of course, about Operation Bagration, the Red Army’s triumph against Army Group Centre in the summer of 1944. Do you like our podcast? Then please leave us a review, it helps us a lot!
