  • Resumen

  • It’s a WW1 campaign that is largely forgotten. In fact it’s been derided as a sideshow.

    But was it?

    Today I am joined by Jake Gasson - https://x.com/JakeGasson1918 - to discuss the Salonika campaign of 1915-1918.

    At its peak, the British Salonica force or BSF numbered over 200,000 soldiers - but many senior officers felt this was a huge waste of resources.

    In today’s episode Jake will talk us through the campaign and then explain why some senior German figures felt that the campaign was in fact of huge strategic importance - perhaps even the reason the allies won the war.

    He then goes on to discuss his PhD thesis about boredom during the campaign and its effect on morale and unit cohesion. It's fascinating stuff.
