  • Resumen

  • In this 3D audio series, ex-British Paratrooper and history fanatic Bruce Crompton narrates incredible tales of bravery from conflicts throughout the ages to support military institutions. All around the world military museums are in danger of closing and smaller, veterans charities desperately need more support. If we allow them to perish, the history contained within them will be lost, as will vital life-lines for our cherished veterans. Remember, Military museums aren't just places of learning, they're places of remembrance too.

    The Daredevils of D-Day - Part 2
    Jun 19 2024
    In the late hours of hours of June 5th, 1944 six Horsa gliders, towed by Halifax bombers made their way across the channel. Inside the lead glider, codenamed Chalk 91, sat 30 men readying themselves for one of the most daring missions of D-Day. Little did the men realise that the next 24 hours would turn into a desperate battle for survival, as they became surrounded, deep behind enemy lines attacked by tanks, snipers and the full might of the Nazi army. Sadly, some would never see home again. These soldiers wore the maroon berets of the airborne forces, known to enemy as The Red Devils.

  • Lightning Strikes & The Ragged Irregulars of Bassingbourne

    Lightning Strikes & The Ragged Irregulars of Bassingbourne
    Feb 8 2024
    On the 9th of October, 1943, one of the bloodiest air battles of the war was unfolding over German skies.  Over 300 hundred fighters were attacking the Flying Fortresses of the American 1st air division, who were on a daylight bombing raid to Anklam, East Germany. The dog fighting was savage, the Germans relentless.  The men on the bombers who flew that day were seasoned war fighters and those that returned said they had never experienced anything like it. It was one of the first times the American planes from the 8th Airforce had been able to strike this far into the Nazi homeland.  New modifications to their fortresses meant they could now travel much greater distances - but it also presented them with a new problem. The disadvantage of long range bombing missions meant that the friendly escort fighters with smaller fuel tanks couldn’t keep up with you - so you were flying without their protection.  Without the fighters for cover the Germans would attack with virtual impunity. This is the remarkable true story of 10 men in one of those flying fortresses, a plane called Lightning Strikes.  By the end of the mission, three quarters of the bomber group were either destroyed or badly damaged and 50 men never made it back… They were The Ragged Irregulars of Bassingbourne..

Amazing...Like watching a movie

This is the best podcast. It feels interactive with the music and lively narration. It’s a full audio documentary film. It’s by far the most unique war- themed podcast out there. Hope it keeps going and going.

Excellent storytelling!

This entire podcast is well researched and performed. All episodes are first rate. I think these episodes should be broadcast in our schools.
