| 12/22/25 |  The Battle for Budapest, Part 1—Episode 90 | "Budapest lay athwart the main entry route to Austria and Bohemia. It was the main railway hub of the region and also the largest Danubian port. The Red Army could not bypass it. This was the first time in the war that the Red Army had to lay siege to a major city." The Red Army assaults the capital of nazi Germany’s final remaining partner in the Second World War. The war appears to be almost lost—but that’s seen through hindsight. No one at the time knew that.Map 1: The Eastern Front, December 1944Map 2: Germany’s eastern and western fronts, 1 December 1944Map 3: The Petsamo-Kirkenes operation in northern FinlandMap 4: The Red Army attacks BudapestOperation Konrad IIPeople Mihai I, King of Romania, 1944–1947 Miklos Horthy, Regent of Hungary Miklos Horthy Jr. Ference Szalasi, nazi dictator of Hungary, 1944–1945 Edmund Veesenmayer, Hitler’s “Special Envoy” to Hungary, 1944–1945 SS-Obergruppenführer Karl Pfeffer-Wildenbruch, commander of IX SS Mountain CorpsHistorical photos: Fighting in Budapest SourcesAntony Beevor, The Second World War.

| 10/22/25 |  Everywhere, all at once: Episode 85—East and West, north and south, 1944 | Describing the Eastern Front chronologically gets very difficult in the second half of 1944, because there’s so much happening everywhere, all at the same time. After the Warsaw Rising, as described in Episode 83, the Red Army surged past its borders into Finland, Estonia, Romania, Bulgaria, and farther. Meanwhile, the Western Allies are taking France, Belgium and Italy from Hitler. But there is still a lot of fighting and death to come.

| 7/7/25 |  Nuances of Lend-Lease with Angus Wallace: Episode 79 | Did the Lend-Lease program save the Soviet Union? For the Season 3 finale, Angus Wallace of the World War 2 podcast joins to offer a nuanced interpretation. Angus Wallace, host and producer of The World War 2 podcast The Lend-Lease Act British Valentine tanks to be sent to USSR under Lend-Lease, 1942. The Bell P-39 Aircobra, one of the fighters the U.S. sent to the Soviet Union under Lend-Lease. A Hawker Hurricane fighter sent for the Red Air Force. Fleets of Studebaker, Ford and Chevrolet trucks sent to the Soviet Union under Lend-Lease. U.S. jeeps sent to the Soviet Union under Lend-Lease made Life magazine. The Western Allies sent millions of tons of food aid to the Soviet Union during World War 2. The Red Army moved tanks to the front by rail, on flatcars, with locomotives often supplied by the U.S. Much of the rail was also supplied by the U.S. The “Big Three,” Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin, at the Yalta Conference in 1945. Roosevelt was clearly unwell by this point. This conference decided the post-war division of Europe between West and East, meaning USSR.MapsMap 1: Lend-Lease shipping routesLend-Lease shipping literally spanned the globe. Map 2: The Arctic route (polar projection) Map 3: The Persian Corridor. Ships arrived in Persian Gulf ports, then goods were transshipped by train through Iran to be loaded onto ships again at the Caspian Sea. Map 4: The Pacific route.
