In today’s episode we will explore some of these Mysteries of Nazi Germany. Welcome to Wars of the World. 🎶🎶 All music from CO.AG https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcav... ...
When WW2 Raids Go Horribly Wrong...
January 10, 2022 19:00 - 23 minutes - 16.1 MBWhen we tell the stories of the grand military campaigns throughout history, they are dominated by operations to charge through the enemy’s main lines, pushing the enemy back, and driving them to ultimate defeat. However, another form of attack has long been a staple of military campaigns, but it doesn’t seek to hold territory it captures. Instead, a raid aims to achieve an objective such as destroying vital supplies or an enemy’s headquarters before retreating back to friendly lines. A raid...
What Happened to All of the M4 Shermans and T-34 Tanks after World War II?
January 03, 2022 19:00 - 29 minutes - 20.3 MBBe they trundling through the mud of Western Europe, kicking up dust on the plains of North Africa or forging a path through the snow of the Eastern Front; the tank defined the war on land between 1939 and 1945. When the war ended and all sides began to disarm they found themselves with literally tens of thousands of now-surplus tanks in their inventories. Many of these war machines inevitably found themselves on the business end of a scrapper’s torch as they were broken up, melted down and...
A Collection of 'What if' Stories of Warfare Aviation...
December 27, 2021 19:00 - 24 minutes - 16.9 MBWhen the Wright Brothers made their historic first flight in 1903, they couldn’t have possibly imagined how far the aircraft would progress in the following one hundred years alone. The Wright Flyer as it was known could be cruelly described as little more than a powered kite but it would initiate a technical evolution that would shrink the world allowing global travel in hours as opposed to months by sea. It would also, of course, bring unimaginable destruction from the sky as the aircraft ...

A vast wilderness rich in natural resources and wildlife but stretched out over a continent with terrain that varied from the cold, rocky climates in the north to the tempered lands further south, which ultimately gave way to dry, arid desert. This was the home of the First Americans, the Native tribes of North America. In every war there are those whose names for good or ill enjoy greater notoriety than others be it for their cunning in combat or for their exploit...

December 13, 2021 19:00 - 20 minutes - 14.4 MBThe 2007 Hollywood film ‘300’, shows off a dramatized version of the Battle of the Thermopylae.

Utilising a narrow mountain path, they hold their ground for three whole days against overwhelming odds, fighting to the bitter end and leaving mountains of slain enemies before them.

The Craziest WWII Nazi Weapons
December 06, 2021 19:00 - 18 minutes - 12.9 MBThe German war machine of World War Two earned a terrifying reputation as a brutally efficient and devastating engine of destruction, and death. Well, you won’t see any evidence of that in this video! The Nazi designed “Wunderwaffe” literally meaning “Miracle Weapons” include some of the most bonkers, insane, stupid and ridiculous weapon designs ever put to paper. Most of these Wunderwaffe, as you are about to see, were as useless as they were nuts. Too impractical to build, let alone make ...
The American Civil War's Most Feared Fighters...
November 29, 2021 19:00 - 20 minutes - 14 MBEvery nation has a story that is retold with the words – it was the darkest time in our history. For the United States, that time was the American Civil War. A conflict as much a battle for the soul of America as it was one of politics, economics and ideology, it was centred around the concept of identity, what it meant to be an American and of course all tied up in the tragic story of slavery. There are countless stories of those who fought in that monstrous conflict, and in today’s episode...
The Nazi's Plans to Blitz New York City
November 22, 2021 19:00 - 17 minutes - 12.3 MBYou might have never heard of it. Be grateful for that fact. A project started by the German ministry of Aviation, the Amerikabomber was a proposed class of long-range strategic bomber then would have been capable of striking the United-States from bases in Germany. Its failure, and the failure of the German war effort generally, spared the cities of America the same destruction seen across Europe, devastation that still scars the continent to this day. In today's episode of Wars of the Worl...
Enduring Mysteries of the Allies in WW2 | Conspiracies and Cover-Ups...
November 15, 2021 19:00 - 22 minutes - 15.7 MBWorld War 2 is probably the most studied, analysed and widely known catastrophe in human history. This is partly because of just how big the thing was, and partly due to the technology available at the time. We have photos, video, audio recordings, newsreels, newspapers, all documenting every detail, every day, every moment. However, despite these incredible tools, and years of study by the greatest historical investigative efforts in the world, there’s still plenty of mysterious things that...

November 08, 2021 19:00 - 18 minutes - 12.7 MBIt is often said that history is more than just words on the written page.

October 04, 2021 18:00 - 16 minutes - 11.1 MBAn innovative new way of fighting in the air developed in the 1930s, where fighter planes were equipped with a rotating hydraulic turret rather than front facing guns. Instead of battling to get on the tail of an enemy plane to fire your guns, these new fighters were capable of firing on an enemy aircraft behind, to the side, or even below them. On paper, these new war planes were super weapons capable of tearing apart enemy fighters and changing air warfare forever. In Part 1 we looked at t...
WW2 Weapons: The Dawn of the Turret Fighters | Part 1
September 27, 2021 18:00 - 15 minutes - 10.9 MBSleek, agile, powerful and possessing a multitude of guns on the nose and wings – the fighters of World War II have etched themselves a position in history akin to the greatest knights of the medieval world.

However, less than ten years before the outbreak of WW2, a small number of aircraft appeared in Britain that offered a whole new way of engaging an enemy aircraft. Ins...
Hitler's Addiction To Antiflatulent Drugs & Other Shocking Revelations
September 20, 2021 18:00 - 12 minutes - 8.94 MBHitler was, by any accounts, a highly unusual man. From humble backgrounds, Hitler’s dystopic visions and feverish energy catapulted him right to the top. In this position, he pushed Europe into oblivion. But what made the man tick? Some historians claim that Adolf Hitler was psychologically disturbed. The theory goes that, Hitler’s logic, or lack thereof, can be explained partially through reference to his mental health. To some, insanity is the only way to explain Hitler’s insane policies...

Shih Yang: The Pirate Queen | The Incredible Story of China's Pirate Empire
August 16, 2021 18:00 - 15 minutes - 10.6 MBWhen you think of pirates, the first place you think of probably isn’t Southern China. A region with a long a fascinating history, China’s South maintains its own unique identity, social, cultural, historical and otherwise, distinct and separate from the North. Two Southern Chinese stereotypes are their international, outward-facing attitude and the independence of their women. Perhaps in no one figure are these two ideas better symbolised then in Shih Yang, a prostitute turned pirate with a...

When France and Britain Nearly Started WWI: The Fashoda Incident 1898
July 05, 2021 18:00 - 19 minutes - 13.5 MBThe First World War could have happened very differently: not in 1914, but 1896. Here, an industrial war of unprecedented scale would have been fought by the British against the French. In the swamps of the Upper Nile, among the half-ruined, half-forgotten outpost known as Fashoda, a confrontation between a small group of French and British soldiers nearly engulfed Europe in flames. This momentous encounter… was the Fashoda Incident. 🎶🎶 All music from CO.AG https://www.youtube.com/channel/...

May 24, 2021 18:00 - 18 minutes - 12.5 MBLife at sea during the Age of Sail had its ups and downs. The steady rhythm of the sea alone was enough to reduce many men to a chronic state of seasickness. But it wasn’t just the tumultuous oceans that could make it hard to keep down food… The horrifying punishments used onboard military vessels created a sickness of another kind: one of rigid hierarchy and brutal, even tortuous discipline. Whatever the crime, punishment in the Europe’s naval forces was likely to be swift and harsh. 🎶🎶...

Using The Plague as a Weapon | The Mongol Empire, World War II & Unit 731
November 16, 2020 16:00 - 16 minutes - 11.4 MBIt comes as little surprise that the dream of many a warlord or government has been to harness disease as a weapon with which to destroy one’s enemies.
