About this episode
The episode reflects on the 82nd anniversary of D-Day through personal stories and discussions on wartime narratives and moral lessons.
In this D-Day special, I reflect on the 82nd anniversary of the Normandy landings through my father’s frontline experiences, listener memories, and a powerful poem from Christine, who also shares her family’s story of wartime internment of Italians in Britain. With guests Survival Steve and Patrick from Holy Land Radio, we question wartime narratives, discuss propaganda, democide, cognitive warfare, and how governments and secret interests shape conflicts and their aftermath. We cover Operation Barbarossa, the siege of Malta, Sicily and Italy campaigns, penal units, the treatment of veterans, and the moral lessons too often missed. We also dive into post-war social engineering, immigration as policy, and why unity, natural law, and personal morality are central to real freedom today. For the full interview on my dad’s D-Day story, listen via Holy Land Radio after the show. We close with practical notes: Survival Steve shares upcoming courses in Wales (shelter, fire, first aid, foraging), plus channels to follow for deeper dives. As ever, we honour the fallen, challenge the myths, and keep asking the hard questions—while wishing Christine a swift recovery.
