News of The War - 6th November 1945

"News of The War" – is it all over? Definitely not. There's more to come - not just news of politics, tsunamis that aren't tsunamis, angry wives, mothers who've lost their sons, GI brides, divisions of Germany, Indian troops, what's happened to Hitler, and The Big Sardines' Update ... there's even more. This isn't the end of the News of the War - this is just the beginning! Have a listen. It's 6th November 1945. You'll get the idea. It all makes sense in the News of the War ... as we dig into the newspapers, chasing the stories that didn’t make it into the history books. Expect dry wit, sapper grit, deep dives, and detours into what lurks in the photos, gossip, scandal, news, and letters to the editor during the Second World War. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
