    Episode 145: Charles de Gaulle in WWI: From Academy to Verdun
    Sep 21 2026
    It is difficult to imagine Charles de Gaulle as a young man before the képi, the presidency, and his famous silhouette. But in August 1914, he was a 23-year-old lieutenant about to be wounded and tested in the inferno of combat. Ultimately captured in the brutal fighting at Verdun, he would do all in his power to escape from captivity in Germany. This is the story of Charles de Gaulle's First World War.

  • Episode 144: Who Won the Battle of the Somme

    Episode 144: Who Won the Battle of the Somme
    Sep 14 2026
    1917 British patrols walked into Serre without firing a shot. The Germans had gone - withdrawn back to the Hindenburg Line, abandoning ground over which some one million men had been killed and wounded. Four months after the Battle of the Somme officially ended, the British were left masters of the field - but it was a field of shell holes, ruins and unburied corpses. Were they the victors? In this episode, we ask: Who really won the Battle of the Somme? Our first book INFERNO is out now!

    Episode 143: The Ancre: The Final Major Battle of the Somme
    Sep 7 2026
    On 13th of November 1916 the British Army attacked at Beaumont Hamel, Serre and Beaucourt - the ground of the first morning of the Somme. Four and a half months after the catastrophe of the first of July, the last battle of the campaign was fought across the same fields, still littered with the fallen from weeks earlier. What happened at the Battle of the Ancre - the final major battle of the Somme campaign - and why does it remain controversial?
