Listen to the last episode:
May 1944, it is clear to Erwin Rommel that the Allied counter attack is just a few weeks away. The answer is simple - defend the Atlantic Wall. But Nazi infighting and ludicrous top-down decision making has led to chaos on the Western Front. With the 6th June just days away - they are still asking themselves: where will the Allies land? In the biggest series of We Have Ways of Making You Talk, join Al and James as they unravel the heroism, sacrifices, and strategic brilliance behind one of the most pivotal moments in history. Prepare to be transported to the heart of the Second World War's defining hour. Episodes Mentioned: Mighty 8th (Ep 735 - 742) Cassino '44 (Ep 753 - 760) Life and Death of the Desert Fox (Ep 41) The Life of Rommel (Ep 657) Learn more about your ad choices.
