In today's special episode David Knowles speaks to historian, author and podcaster James Holland (@James1940 on X) about the Eastern Front in the Second World War.This was recorded and edited by David shortly before his sudden passing.The Second World War was catastrophic for Ukraine: millions died in the fighting and occupations, the battles that crossed the country were brutal and grinding, the country’s Jews were exterminated in the ‘Holocaust of bullets’, and the eventual Soviet victory ensured decades of further domination and control from Moscow.This episode aims to give a broad account of the period and explore some of the key issues and stories.James Holland: https://griffonmerlin.com/'We Have Ways of Making You Talk' Podcast:https://www.goalhangerpodcasts.com/we-have-ways-of-making-you-talk Hosted on Acast.
