About this episode

The episode shares personal wartime stories that have remained unspoken until now, reflecting on moments that are difficult to explain.

Some stories aren’t told until years later — passed quietly between friends, or remembered only after something brings them back to the surface. Within the Wartime Stories team, a handful of these experiences have stayed with us, each one difficult to explain. From abandoned buildings to historic battlefields and training grounds, these firsthand accounts reflect moments that didn’t make sense at the time — and still don’t now.
