About this episode

The episode discusses the often overlooked role of Africa in the Second World War, challenging traditional narratives that focus primarily on Europe and North America.

Per decenni la Seconda Guerra Mondiale è stata raccontata come un evento essenzialmente europeo e nord-atlantico, con l’Africa ridotta a un teatro periferico, uno sfondo esotico per le manovre di Rommel o Montgomery. Ma i dati e le testimonianze ci raccontano altro. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
