| 4/29/26 | ![]() Battle of Huế: Vietnam’s Longest and Bloodiest Battle... | Send us Fan Mail During the 1980s, the United States was still struggling to come to grips with its involvement in the Vietnam War and as part of that effort, Hollywood churned out a number of movies with the conflict as its backdrop. For younger audiences especially, they provided an insight into what their fathers or older siblings may have experienced during their tours of duty in the jungles of southeast Asia. One of the most seminal pieces produced in this period was 1987’s Full Metal Ja... | 22m 49s | ||||||
| 4/27/26 | ![]() The MOST Feared Concentration Camp Commander of WWII... | Send us Fan Mail British Army Sergeant Norman Midgley must have thought he had seen it all by April 1945. Even before the war started, he had seen his fair share of both the best and worst of humanity in his vocation as a staff photographer for the Daily Express newspaper based in Manchester, England. When the war started the British Army therefore had a specific task for him in mind given his experience and expertise; specifically as a member of the Army Film and Photographic Unit. It... | 22m 07s | ||||||
| 4/22/26 | ![]() The Brno March: WWII's Most Evil Death March... | Send us Fan Mail In this episode, we are going to examine the events leading up to and surrounding the tragedy of the Brno Death March as thousands of ethnic Germans were rounded up in Czechoslovakia and marched to the Austrian border all the while being subjected to the vilest abuse and mistreatment. Many would not make it in this genocide largely forgotten by history for it concerned those labelled as the enemy. Welcome to Wars of the World. Support the show | 24m 49s | ||||||
| 4/20/26 | ![]() When France Fell to Nazi Germany... | Send us Fan Mail November 1918 and the war to end all wars comes to its conclusion as the guns on the western front fall silent. For four years prior, the army of German Kaiser Wilhelm II had shot and shelled its way into France and Belgium but had been held back from total victory behind a line of trenches and barbed wire. France had survived but its lands were scarred, and its people felt loss like never before. Thus, when war loomed once again, the French swore they would be ready for it. ... | 24m 47s | ||||||
| 4/15/26 | ![]() Tiger Tank: The Germany Tank That Almost Won WWII... | Send us Fan Mail Many of history’s greatest armoured fighting vehicles emerged during the Second World War. These vehicles have not only come to symbolise the struggle of their respective armies in that titanic clash but, furthermore have transcended the battlefield to become ongoing symbols of their nation’s grit and determination in the face of the enemy. But while we may admire the classic lines of the M4 Sherman or the revolutionary shape of the armour of a T-34, in terms of instilling fe... | 23m 53s | ||||||
| 4/13/26 | ![]() The Cod Wars: When Iceland & The UK Fought Over North Atlantic Fishing Rights | Send us Fan Mail The humble fish and chips. It’s still not entirely clear how or even when this quaint but filling little meal became the official dish of the people of the British Isles but what is known is that during the first half of the 20th century it had become as quintessentially British as cricket and the Royal family. One of the most common types of fish to be included in the meal was cod from the North Sea and British fishing trawlers scoured the region between Scotland and Iceland... | 1h 00m 25s | ||||||
| 4/8/26 | ![]() The Deadliest Weapons of The First World War... | Send us Fan Mail For hundreds of years prior to the 20th century, war had changed very little with the improvements in weapon technology that did arise being incremental and slow to establish themselves. However, with the industrial revolution of the mid-to-late 19th century and the meteoric advances in science and technology that came with it, in the span of a few decades, warfare was changed beyond recognition. New weapons that were once the stuff of science fiction from the likes of Jules ... | 22m 07s | ||||||
| 4/6/26 | ![]() The PPSh-41: The Mass-Produced Soviet Submachine Gun of WWII... | Send us Fan Mail Picture the scene. It is the Eastern Front in 1943 and you are a German soldier on the frontline. In the distance, you can see and hear a line of T-34 tanks trundling and clacking towards your position but more than that, riding on the back of them behind their turrets are swarms of Soviet troops all clutching a small but distinctive weapon. You’ve come to know this weapon very well and with the knowledge of what it can do, you begin firing your MG42 machine gun hoping to kil... | 24m 02s | ||||||
| 4/1/26 | ![]() The Drugs That Built Super Nazi Soldiers in WW2... | Send us Fan Mail We are all familiar with the Nazi practices of sending Jews to concentration camps, carrying out mass executions and instilling fear into German citizens through their paramilitary organisations like the SS. But one practice that tends to go under the radar concerning Adolf Hitler and his Nazi party was their rampant abuse of medicinal substances, which in today’s world, would be considered as illicit drugs. What you need to consider, however, is that at the time, these drugs... | 15m 04s | ||||||

| 4/1/26 | ![]() When The Japanese Navy Safeguarded The Med in WWI... | Send us Fan Mail Looking back through history, it’s often difficult to see passed events that have so shaped our modern world. The story of Japan in World War II for example has often left those in the west with an impression that prior to 1945, Japan was always an enemy of freedom, when in fact while we associate Imperial Japan as Hitler’s ally, just twenty years earlier, Japan fought against the Kaiser and that particular tyrant’s quest for power. In this episode, we are going to explore J... | 19m 36s | ||||||
| 3/30/26 | ![]() Secret Stimulants of the Vietnam War: How Drugs Forged an Unstoppable Soldier... | Send us Fan Mail August 1964. US President Lyndon B. Johnson has inherited an ongoing crisis in the south-east Asian nation of Vietnam from his predecessor, John F. Kennedy. The crisis involves the spreading of communism from North Vietnam into the south and potentially beyond, threatening the US position in the region against the Soviet Union in the Cold War. At first, he adopts the policy of training and equipping the South Vietnamese Army to fight the war themselves but when a US warship i... | 22m 42s | ||||||
| 3/25/26 | ![]() The UNSPEAKABLE Chemical Used in The Vietnam War... | Send us Fan Mail The unseen enemy is always the most feared for how does one engage an enemy if you do not know their location? Throughout history, the art of camouflage has often been the key to success in battle, greatly increasing an enemy force’s response time as they try to locate just who it is that is shooting them. Mother nature has often provided the best camouflage for armies, concealing them away from the prying eyes of an enemy force moving nearby. Mother nature has also pr... | 23m 44s | ||||||
| 3/23/26 | ![]() The Sinking of The Lusitania | Send us Fan Mail In this documentary, we are going to examine the events surrounding probably the most significant sinking of a ship by a U-boat during the entire conflict. It is an event that would have far reaching consequences for the war, and beyond which wouldn’t be fully realised until a generation later. This is the story of the sinking of the RMS Lusitania and how it lit the path to war for the United States of America. Welcome to Wars of the World. Support the show | 38m 23s | ||||||
| 3/18/26 | ![]() The Insanely Powerful Soviet Aircraft Carrier Program... | Send us Fan Mail On October 15th 2016, the 43,000 ton Russian aircraft carrier Admiral Kuzentsov slipped out of the Kola Bay fjord in the Barents Sea. Escorted by a small flotilla of warships including the powerful Pyotr Velikiy battlecruiser, the carrier sailed through the North Sea and down the English Channel in to the Atlantic before rounding the Iberian Peninsula and entering the Mediterranean and Aegean Seas. A month after leaving Kola Bay, aircraft of the Kuznetsov began operati... | 38m 19s | ||||||
| 3/16/26 | ![]() Hitler's Dogs... | Send us Fan Mail Given the horror that Hitler unleashed on the world, it seems unfathomable that he could show any kind of warmth and affection to any living thing. Yet quite the contrary for he was an avid lover of dogs, but this love only serves to remind us of his evil for he could treat animals infinitely better than he treated many people. In this episode, we are going to examine the Fuhrer’s love for dogs, examine the role they played in the Fuhrer’s day-to-day life and how they were ev... | 21m 49s | ||||||
| 3/11/26 | ![]() Bernard Montgomery: The Unstoppable WWII Commander... | Send us Fan Mail Throughout history, war has often been characterised as being an elaborate game of chess played by the Generals commanding the armies on the chessboard that is the battlefield. This characterisation has led to the perception of many of history’s great duels being between two key, opposing players and in 1942 on the deserts of North Africa – a land described as being ideal for the game of war – there seemed no greater player than German Field Marshall Erwin Rommell. Com... | 21m 26s | ||||||
| 3/9/26 | ![]() Verdun: The Longest & Most Horrific Battle of WWI... | Send us Fan Mail For every nation, there are battles whose names for one reason or another mean more to their people than most. For Americans, its Gettysburg. For Australians and New Zealanders, its Gallipoli. For the British and Canadians, it’s the Somme. For France, perhaps one of the most important battles in its recent history was the Battle of Verdun. Fought almost throughout the entirety of 1916, the battle was instigated by the German Army in an effort to destroy France and achieve vic... | 21m 59s | ||||||
| 3/4/26 | ![]() The Haunted UB-65 of World War I... | Send us Fan Mail In this, episode, we are going to take a look at the real wartime service of UB-65 and then investigate the legend to establish if there is any truth in the story of the supposedly haunted U-boat or whether it was as some believe the result of an elaborate plan by the Allies to combat the underwater menace.

| 3/2/26 | ![]() Terror in The Sky: The Grumman F6F Hellcat fighters of WWII... | Send us Fan Mail The opening of the air war over the Pacific was brutal. Allied pilots found themselves facing an enemy whose fighters appeared to be able to run rings around their own. The most notable of these Japanese fighters was the Mitsubishi A6M more commonly known to Allied pilots as the Zero. Designed by a team headed by Jiro Honkoshi, the A6M was designed for the Imperial Japanese Navy and as such could be operated from carriers. At the time, most carrier-based fighters had to sacri... | 18m 51s | ||||||
| 2/25/26 | ![]() Life Inside The Führerbunker: Adolf Hitler’s Paranoid Final Few Days... | Send us Fan Mail The streets of Berlin were devastated beyond recognition in some areas as 33-year-old photographer William Vandivert was led to the location of the former German chancellery buildings. Just days before, these streets had been the subject of a two-week long bloody and bitter battle between the Soviet Union’s Red Army and the last of the German Wehrmacht whose numbers had been propped up by old men and young boys recruited from the city’s population. Now that battle was over an... | 20m 45s | ||||||

During this time, Vietnam was part of French Indochina, a group of French colonial territories in Southeast Asia which was eventually dissolved in the 1950s. As well as various Vietnamese regions, French Indochina consisted of Cambodia, Laos and Guangzhouwan. The city of Hanoi remained the area’s capital between 1902 and 1945.

| 2/18/26 | ![]() The Odessa Massacre: A Forgotten Holocaust of WWII | Send us Fan Mail When discussing the Axis powers of World War II, history tends to focus on Nazi Germany, Imperial Japan and Mussolini’s Italy however this is only part of the story. Fascism and antisemitism were by no means limited to Hitler and his closest allies in Tokyo and Rome. Indeed, far-right extremist ideologies had taken hold in several European countries that made them potential allies for Berlin particularly with the natural hostility such policies attracted from the communist su... | 32m 01s | ||||||

| 2/11/26 | ![]() Why Were Tiger Tanks so Feared in The Second World War? | Send us Fan Mail In this episode, we are going to examine the evolution of the Panzer series from the humble Panzer I up to the excellent Panzer IV before German armoured doctrine switched to newer, often heavier and more powerful tanks to help compensate for their increasing numerical inferiority in the face of the Allied armies.
