Germany's success in the war was built upon its tank forces; however, many of its leading generals, with the notable exception of Heinz Guderian, are largely unknown. In today's show we will look at four German panzer army commanders serving on the Eastern Front. David's book is based upon their unpublished wartime letters to their wives.

This is part 1, a second show will follow on May 6th

Fortress Fighting: The East Prussia Campaign - 1944-45

$Chamber Divers: The D-Day Scientists Who Changed Special Operations Forever Chamber Divers: The D-Day Scientists Who Changed Special Operations Forever With Rachel Lance Part of our DDay and Battle of Normandy series https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDG3XyxGI5lD-VIZrUhFbYxwDvdobbkEs&si=alYb5gBq6fxj5zoL Also part of our 80th Anniversary Series https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDG3XyxGI5lCyOAGNszPdUOkA43dfSldX&si=bfIRjfLj4XKUcXds In August 1942, more than 7,000 Allied troops rushed the beaches of Normandy, France, in an all but-forgotten landing. Only a small fraction survived unscathed. It was two summers before D-Day, and the Allies realized that they were in dire need of underwater intelligence if they wanted to stand a chance of launching another beach invasion and of winning the war. Led by the controversial biologists J. B. S. Haldane and Dr. Helen Spurway, an ingenious team of ragtag scientists worked out of homemade labs during the London Blitz. Beneath a rain of bombs, they pioneered thrilling advances in underwater reconnaissance through tests done on themselves in painful and potentially fatal experiments. Their discoveries led to the safe use of miniature submarines and breathing apparatuses, which ultimately let the Allies take the beaches of Normandy. Rachel Lance is a biomedical engineer and blast-injury specialist who works as a scientific researcher on military diving projects at Duke University. Before returning to graduate school to earn her PhD, Dr. Lance spent several years as an engineer for the United States Navy, working to build specialized underwater equipment for use by navy divers, SEALs, and Marine Force Recon personnel. She is also the author of In the Waves, and her writing has appeared in Time, Wired, Scientific American, and more. A native of suburban Detroit, Dr. Lance lives in Durham, North Carolina. https://rachellancewrites.com/ Buy the book: UK https://uk.bookshop.org/a/5843/9781835010686 USA https://bookshop.org/a/21029/9780593184936 WW2TV shows referenced by Rachel: In Part 1 David OKeefe talked about the real reason for the raid on Dieppe in August 1942 https://youtu.be/Sw-h7WLd0Bw In Part 2 David talked about the plan for Operation Jubilee.
