WW2 Pod: We Have Ways of Making You Talk

As a part of our continuing effort to commemorate the incredible global story of WW2, we present our ongoing ‘Family Stories’ series.

This series tells YOUR relatives’ stories of derring do - both on the front line and home front.

In this episode we hear your tales of secret swastika sewing, deadly seaside towns, the Navy's luckiest Jonah, Italian internees, and taunting German artillery.

With thanks to Simon, Ann, Jim, Chris, and Cary.
