I'm in a nostalgic mood this evening, and we're looking at the Canadian masterpiece battle, the capture of Vimy Ridge, on Easter Monday, 1917. Through meticulous planning, shared intelligence and pure bloody-minded grit, the Canadians swept up Vimy Ridge and captured the strategic heights as part of the opening phase of the Battle of Arras. We look at the planning and the battle itself to find out what happ... | 1h 01m 54s | ||||||

| 1/11/26 | The beginning of the end | Send us Fan Mail Happy New Year! By July 1918, the German offensive was running out of steam; heavy losses, combined with overstretched supply lines, put the Germans in a perilous position. The German Commander, Ludendorff, gambled everything on one final push, the so-called Friedenstrum, or Peace Offensive. The offensive failed and the door was opened to Allied Victory. In this episode, we look at the events of July 1917, discover the conflict between Ludendorff and his military planne... | 1h 00m 52s | ||||||

| 11/23/25 | The Battle of the Bees | Send us Fan Mail In November 1914, the British attempted to capture the strategically vital port of Tanga in German East Africa. Poor planning, an indecisive commander, poorly trained troops and the fanatical idealism of brilliantly trained Askari troops combined to turn the operation into a disaster for the British. In this episode, we look at Germany's colonial history in East Africa, the skill and excellence of the remarkable German General Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck, and meet an enigma... | 56m 52s | ||||||

The fields in this sleepy corner of agricultural France contain dozens of German bunkers and blockhouses from the time of World War I.
