This episode should have been called: “Who the wants to be a General?”

Assigned and 49 dead, a ratio of 13.6%. Any thoughts on why these figures are not in sync? (Forgive the computer issues, please)

Darn this computer. …front line units, one of your guests stated that being in a rifle company was as good as a “death sentence”. Chris Langlois founder of Band of Brothers Foundation, is quoted on a USAR website stating that E Company had 360 men assigne

Hello Guys, love your show. In the recent episode on front line units o e of

.

Are ’Spots’ and Spaatz different people?

very interesting episode

I was captivated by your recent Mighty 8th series and astounded by the number of airmen who died in these actions over the length of the campaign. However, for all of these types of stories I think that it would be respectful to also acknowledge the estimated number of civilians (most of whom were innocent bystanders) and German military that also lost their lives in these actions. In the convoy series you did a wonderful job in acknowledging the courage and deaths of the u-boat crews.

I am a resent convert to your show and really love the very interesting but never before told side stories like logistics, medical support and most recently LendLease and support for Russia. Amazing stuff and so important. How about a show (or more likely a series) on financing the war effort - wow there must be a lot in that and very different angles for the US , UK, Germany and Japan. Just from your recent series, financing the building of all those B17 and all those LendLease tanksand jeeps

John Orloff’s enthusiasm for, and commitment to, detail in writing and making Masters of the Air is impressive. He also speaks to the sustained and grim determination of the joint bombing campaigns. My mother was a teenager in North London then, I was greatly struck by her account of bombers going out from early evening to early morning, with the first out returning well before the last departures. Quite an expression of national intent, and the personal and collective bravery of the crews

remarkable account gents. ive been following your description whilst pawing over the Internet, looking at pictures and maps. excellent. thank you.

Excellent interview

You boys missed your true calling - campy MST3K WW2 stuff. Brilliant episode, seriously brilliant.

fascinating stuff as ever

Can we do a pod on the fighting Captain walker ! The book of the same name is really engaging, also if we can find a recipe for the hot rum drink they are all knocking back.

This reminds me of Uncle Billy Johnson after two years of training ( including parachute school at Ringway ). Ending up in a tree at Arnhem and captured soon after . Declared AWOL till march ’45

James when is your novel on the Sub Lt RNVR coming out ?

Love this pod but the editing is increasingly poor in this platform. Repeating sections, jumping about. Shame as it deserves better.

Thank you Jim for capturing the essence of the event through these interviews!

All of the volunteers who participated in the D-Day event are amazing! Their attention to detail and time given to their craft is worthy of much respect.
