VE Day: Victory In Europe (Part 8)

WW2 Pod: We Have Ways of Making You Talk

10,815 views

Why is VE Day celebrated on May 8th? What did the end of the war look like for Field Marshal Montgomery and his men? What happened at the surrenders, when Supreme Commander Eisenhower refused to sign?

Al and Jim discuss what the Nazis were doing to get a favourable surrender for Germany after 6 years of barbaric conflict, and how the Allies disagreed on how and when the end should come.

Join James Holland & Al Murray as they uncover the pivotal but often overlooked final moments of WW2 in Europe.

I've been listening to your war hell chatter to get me to sleep at night. I know, I'm masochistic. Hello from New Zealand.

I really enjoyed the format of this series. I feel a little silly, but how exactly do you spell Von Freidl(sp)? I'd like to know a bit more. Thx.

Now that the war is practically over (in Europe) I can say with certainty. You two have your act polished to a luster. It’s my opinion, this is your best effort so far. Your ability to make me smile, even when the topic is grim is much appreciated. I have been addicted to the history of the Second World War since childhood. (I’m 73). Thanks for your hard work and dedication. Peace ☮️

Question please regarding operation Tiger Slapton Sands, were the main casualitys from friendly fire injuries during the exercise, or from the attacked by the E Boats that caused the deaths of at least 749 American servicemen

Once again, I say, both of these hosts do a much, much better American accent than either host of The Rest is History.

Was nice to hear you both on Dermot O'Leary the other day :) I see the Orangemanbaby has decided to rebrand VE Day in USA to align with Russia and downplay Europes role -_-
