In November after the city of Aachen had fallen to US forces, Operation Clipper was launched. It was an Allied offensive by the British XXX Corps (including the US 84th Infantry Division) to reduce the Geilenkirchen salient. One of the dramatic stories from this offensive occurred in Hatterath in a wooded area known to this day as Dorset Wood.

The streets and boulevards canalised the attacking infantry, tank destroyers and tanks, turning them into killing zones. Fields of fire for the Allied armored commanders was restricted, as was their ability to maneuver. Yet our Urban Warfare expert Jayson Geroux is impressed by the initiatives and techniques shown by the Americans to overcome the defences.Major Jayson Geroux graduated from Wilfrid Laurier University in Waterloo, Ontario, with a B.A. Degree (Honours) in History in 1993, specializing in 20th century military history. He received his M.A. Degree in Military History from the Brigadier Milton F. Gregg, V.C.

The First Army was mainly composed of troops from France's North African territories - Maghrebis, French Pied-Noirs together with a significant number of escapees from occupied France. These troops had played a major role in the Corsican and Italian campaigns, with about 130,000 men engaged. In Autumn 1944, First Army comprised about 250,000 men, half of them Indigenes and half Europeans from North Africa. From September 1944 onward, 114,000 men of the French Forces of the Interior were added to the First Army, replacing many African troops. Eventually, more than 320,000 men would form the First Army during its final advances in Germany and Austria.Antoine Bourguilleau is a historian and a major in the French army.

Yet this battle is relatively unknown, especially outside Zeeland and West Brabant. In today's show, we invite a historian from the Netherlands to offer a Dutch perspective of this pivotal battle.On 4 September 1944, the port installations of Antwerp fall into Allied hands virtually undamaged. Due to major logistical problems after the rapid advance from Normandy, this is a huge stroke of luck for the Allies. But as long as German guns in the Scheldt estuary control access to the port city, they have no use for possession of the ports. Hitler recognises the strategic importance and orders his troops in Zeeuws-Vlaanderen and Walcheren to hold out to the last man.The consequences of the war violence are disastrous. More than five thousand soldiers and civilians do not survive the Battle of the Scheldt, thousands are wounded and entire villages and landscapes are destroyed. The Canadians experience the victory as a 'Terrible Victory' and the fighting in the southwest of the Netherlands as the bloodiest of their campaign in Western Europe.Tobias van Gent is a Dutch historian and politician, who also served as a Member of Parliament. He is currently working at University College Roosevelt in Middelburg as a professor in history and political sciences.bol.com/nl/nl/p/slag-om-de-schelde-1944/9200000116403470You can become a YouTube Member and support us here youtube.com/channel/UCUC1nmJGHmiKtlkpA6SJMeAYou can become a Patron here patreon.com/WW2TVPlease click subscribe for updates also "like" the video - it really helps!Social Media links -twitter.com/WW2TVfacebook.com/WW2TVinstagram.com/ww2tvWW2TV Merchandise ww2tv.creator-spring.comWW2TV Bookshop - where you can purchase copies of books featured in my YouTube shows.

In the shallow waters off the island of Walcheren, these were the only offensive vessels that could get in close to the island to cover the LCTs carrying the land forces to the shore. Having previously operated off Normandy under the designation Support Squadron Eastern Flank, the collection of Landing Craft Flak, Gun, Rocket and Support were called upon to support an amphibious assault once more, in what would be their last battle.Stephen Fisher is an archaeologist and historian specialising in 20th century military conflict.

Operation Postmaster was a British mission conducted on the Spanish island of Fernando Po, now known as Bioko, off West Africa in the Gulf of Guinea in 1942. The operation was carried out by the Small Scale Raiding Force (SSRF) and the Special Operations Executive (SOE) in January 1942. Their objective was to board the Italian and German ships in the harbour and sail them to Lagos. The SSRF under the command of Major Gus March-Phillipps left Britain in August 1941 and sailed the Brixham trawler, Maid of Honour, to the Spanish colony.Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare: The Desperadoes Who Plotted Hitler's Downfall, Giving Birth to Modern-Day Black Ops by Damien LewisUK uk.bookshop.org/a/5843/9781529439526USA bookshop.org/a/21029/9781529432336You can become a YouTube Member and support us here youtube.com/channel/UCUC1nmJGHmiKtlkpA6SJMeAYou can become a Patron here patreon.com/WW2TVPlease click subscribe for updates also "like" the video - it really helps!Social Media links -twitter.com/WW2TVfacebook.com/WW2TVinstagram.com/ww2tvWW2TV Merchandise ww2tv.creator-spring.comWW2TV Bookshop - where you can purchase copies of books featured in my YouTube shows.

The Killing Fields of Provence: Occupation, Resistance and Liberation in the South of France WW2TV 2024-09-23 | The Killing Fields of Provence: Occupation, Resistance and Liberation in the South of FranceWith James BourhillPart of our Operation Dragoon and South of France seriesyoutube.com/playlist?list=PLDG3XyxGI5lACq37Fjmjk7I6HiPU9QzMq&si=mF9ciq_SQD60dPSuAlso part of our 80th Anniversary Seriesyoutube.com/playlist?list=PLDG3XyxGI5lCyOAGNszPdUOkA43dfSldX&si=bfIRjfLj4XKUcXdsIn the South of France, the most memorable event of the Second World War was the sea and airborne invasion of 15 August 1944. Perhaps because it went relatively smoothly, this "Second D-Day" was soon relegated to the back pages of history. Operation Dragoon and the liberation is however only a small part of the story. The arrival of the Allies was preceded by years of suffering and sacrifice under Hitléro-Vichyssois oppression.Provençale people still struggle to come to terms with the painful past of split-allegiances and empty stomachs, which epitomize les années noirs (the dark years). Deportations, requisitions, forced labour, and hunger provoked some level of resistance by a courageous minority. Many actively colluded with the enemy, but most just waited for better days. By sea and air, Allied agents and Special Forces were infiltrated to fan the flames, but wherever the Resistance rose up prematurely, the reprisals from the Nazis and their auxiliaries were ferocious.James Bourhill schooled at St John’s College in Johannesburg, South Africa. Bourhill did national service in a mounted infantry unit. His tertiary education began at Cerara College of Agriculture, after which he went farming in Rhodesia and North America before returning to Rustenburg where he lives today.James' previous appearance on WW2TVCome Back to Portofino: Through Italy with the 6th South African Armoured Divisionyoutube.com/live/IqLkTdjeCdEBuy the book:UK uk.bookshop.org/a/5843/9781526761323USA bookshop.org/a/21029/9781526761323You can become a YouTube Member and support us here youtube.com/channel/UCUC1nmJGHmiKtlkpA6SJMeAYou can become a Patron here patreon.com/WW2TVPlease click subscribe for updates also "like" the video - it really helps!Social Media links -twitter.com/WW2TVfacebook.com/WW2TVinstagram.com/ww2tvWW2TV Merchandise ww2tv.creator-spring.comWW2TV Bookshop - where you can purchase copies of books featured in my YouTube shows.

Both of them working for the Russians.Robert Verkaik is an author and award-winning journalist. He was the home affairs editor of the Independent and the security editor of the Mail on Sunday.

The Battle of Arnhem is one of the best-known stories in British military history: a daring but doomed attempt to secure a vital bridgehead across the Rhine in order to end the war before Christmas 1944. It is always written about, with the benefit of unerring 20/20 hindsight, as being destined to fail, but the men who fought there, men of military legend, didn't know that that was to be their fate.Tuesday 19 September 1944 was the terrible day which became known as Black Tuesday. From just after 1200 hours while plans were being made to seize the initiative and optimism reigned, to the following midnight, when Arnhem was burning and the Allied fortunes looked very different, a mere twenty-four hours changed the course of the war.Buy the book:UK uk.bookshop.org/a/5843/9780857506566USA amazon.com/Arnhem-Black-Tuesday-Al-Murray/dp/0857506560You can become a YouTube Member and support us here youtube.com/channel/UCUC1nmJGHmiKtlkpA6SJMeAYou can become a Patron here patreon.com/WW2TVPlease click subscribe for updates also "like" the video - it really helps!Social Media links -twitter.com/WW2TVfacebook.com/WW2TVinstagram.com/ww2tvWW2TV Merchandise ww2tv.creator-spring.comWW2TV Bookshop - where you can purchase copies of books featured in my YouTube shows.

Rogue Agent: From Secret Plots to Psychological Warfare, The Untold Story of Robert Bruce Lockhart WW2TV 2024-09-11 | Rogue Agent: From Secret Plots to Psychological Warfare, The Untold Story of Robert Bruce LockhartWith James CrosslandPart of Spies, Secrets and Subterfuge Week on WW2TVyoutube.com/playlist?list=PLDG3XyxGI5lBqDzB4VkzeXUyV_OTTqROw&si=v9KwfreChSqFx_FLSir Robert Bruce Lockhart (1887–1970) was an impressive figure: a diplomat, intelligence agent, conspirator, journalist and propagandist who played a key role in both world wars. He was a man who charmed his way into the confidences of everyone from Leon Trotsky to Anthony Eden. A man whom the influential press baron Lord Beaverbook claimed ‘could well have been prime minister’. And yet Lockhart died almost forgotten and near destitute, a Scottish footnote in the pages of history.James Crossland is a Professor of International History at Liverpool John Moores University. He has worked in both the United Kingdom and Australia, combining his passion for writing with an interest in the history of conflict, terrorism, psychological warfare and intelligence.He authored the first history of Britain's humanitarian response to the Second World War, "Britain and the International Committee of the Red Cross, 1939-1945", the story of the men and women who tried to bring rules to modern warfare, "War, Law and Humanity: the Campaign to Control Warfare, 1853-1914" and, most recently, the history of terrorism in the late nineteenth century, "The Rise of Devils: Fear and the Origins of Modern Terrorism".James' latest book is a passion project over a decade in the making - "Rogue Agent: From Secret Operations to Psychological Warfare, the Untold Story of Robert Bruce Lockhart". This is the first biography of the man who led a plot to destroy Bolshevism in Russia in 1918 and ran Britain's secret psychological warfare campaign against the Nazis during the Second World War, all whilst becoming a best-selling author and one of the most-well connected political agents in Europe.Rogue Agent: From Secret Plots to Psychological Warfare, The Untold Story of Robert Bruce Lockhart by James CrosslandUK uk.bookshop.org/a/5843/9781783968046USA amazon.com/Rogue-Agent-Troubled-Dangerous-Lockhart/dp/1783968044You can become a YouTube Member and support us here youtube.com/channel/UCUC1nmJGHmiKtlkpA6SJMeAYou can become a Patron here patreon.com/WW2TVPlease click subscribe for updates also "like" the video - it really helps!Social Media links -twitter.com/WW2TVfacebook.com/WW2TVinstagram.com/ww2tvWW2TV Merchandise ww2tv.creator-spring.comWW2TV Bookshop - where you can purchase copies of books featured in my YouTube shows.

Paris 44: The Shame and the Glory WW2TV 2024-09-09 | Paris '44: The Shame and the GloryWith Patrick BishopPart of Liberation of Paris weekyoutube.com/playlist?list=PLDG3XyxGI5lC61hk5pza0Dq0OQs3zF_jw&si=kHmUa7f_zuqeZI04Also part of our 80th Anniversary Seriesyoutube.com/playlist?list=PLDG3XyxGI5lCyOAGNszPdUOkA43dfSldX&si=bfIRjfLj4XKUcXdsWhen the Germans marched in and the lamps went out in the City of Light the millions who loved Paris mourned. Liberation, four years later, triggered an explosion of joy and relief. It was the party of the century and everybody who was anybody was there. General Charles de Gaulle seized the moment to create an instant legend that would take its place alongside the great moments in French history. After years of oppression and humiliation Parisians had risen to reclaim their city and drive out the forces of darkness – or so the story went.Our guest will tell this story of those heady days of suspense, danger, exhilaration – and vengeance – through the eyes of a range of participants, reflecting all sides of the conflict: Americans, French and Germans; resisters and collaborators. Among them are famous names like Ernest Hemingway, J.D. Salinger and Pablo Picasso, but also some fascinating unknowns including a medic turned Resistance gunwoman, an androgynous Hungarian sculptor and a French bluestocking who quietly set about saving the nation’s art treasures from the Nazi looters.Patrick Bishop is the author of Operation Jubilee as well as several bestselling histories of the Royal Air Force during the World War II, including Fighter Boys and Bomber Boys. He spent twenty-five years as a foreign correspondent covering major conflicts around the world. Patrick lives in England.

Churchills Citadel: Chartwell and the Gatherings Before the Storm WW2TV 2024-09-03 | Churchill's Citadel: Chartwell and the Gatherings Before the StormWith Katherine CarterPart of an ongoing series called Churchill Reassessedyoutube.com/playlist?list=PLDG3XyxGI5lA1YGwOoNLJ8BnKXHamvInv&si=2kv52BU4M5_Em0G7In the 1930s, amidst an impending crisis in Europe, Winston Churchill found himself out of government and with little power. In these years, Chartwell, his country home in Kent, became the headquarters of his campaign against Nazi Germany. He invited trusted advisors and informants, including Albert Einstein and T. E. Lawrence, who could strengthen his hand as he worked tirelessly to sound the alarm at the prospect of war.Katherine Carter joins us on WW2TV to tell the extraordinary story of the remarkable but little known meetings that took place behind closed doors at Chartwell. From household names to political leaders, diplomats to spies, Carter reveals a fascinating cast of characters, each of whom made their mark on Churchill’s thinking and political strategy. With Chartwell as his base, Churchill gathered intelligence about Germany’s preparations for war—and, in doing so, put himself in a position to change the course of history.Katherine Carter is a curator and historian who has managed the house and collections at Chartwell, Churchill's country home, for more than a decade. A widely sought after commentator and adviser on the life and legacy of Sir Winston Churchill, she lectures internationally and appears frequently in print and broadcast media.Buy the book:UK uk.bookshop.org/a/5843/9780300270198yalebooks.co.uk/book/9780300270198/churchills-citadelUSA bookshop.org/a/21029/9780300270198You can become a YouTube Member and support us here youtube.com/channel/UCUC1nmJGHmiKtlkpA6SJMeAYou can become a Patron here patreon.com/WW2TVPlease click subscribe for updates also "like" the video - it really helps!Social Media links -twitter.com/WW2TVfacebook.com/WW2TVinstagram.com/ww2tvWW2TV Merchandise ww2tv.creator-spring.comWW2TV Bookshop - where you can purchase copies of books featured in my YouTube shows.

The German Commander had said he would "hold out to the last man" in an ancient fortress that had been heavily reinforced with concrete and contained underground tunnels, storage areas, power plants, ammo dumps, living quarters, and even a hospital. En route to Saint Malo, the 83rd had to cross rivers, canals, marshes, and heavily fortified areas of high ground. Inside the fortified city of St. Malo was the Citadel itself, defended by German troops hardened in the Normandy campaign and led by a determined commander.The battle for St. Malo and Dinard involved attacks on four different fronts by all three infantry regiments of the 83rd as well as the 121st Infantry Regiment of the 8th Division. Then, incredibly, in the midst of the battle, the 1st and 3rd Battalions of the 331st Infantry swung around 56 miles from their position northeast of St. Malo to a position west of Dinan across the Rance River. From there, they drove north to link up with the 121st Infantry which had been cut off in a Nazi counterattack, and then continued the push to Dinard.Jonathan Bernstein is the currently serving Arms & Armor Curator at the National Museum of the Marine Corps in Quantico, Virginia usmcmuseum.com, but he has spent the better part of the last three decades as a museum professional, aviation historian and author. Jon has focused on the evolution of tactical airpower throughout history, with a particular focus on the Mediterranean and European theaters during World War II and his sixth book, Osprey Publishing’s “P-47s vs German Flak Defenses” was released this October. He also spent six of his eight years in the US Army as an AH-64 pilot, working on putting historic lessons into practice as well.Jonathan's previous shows on WW2TV80th Anniversary of the Makin Island Raid - 1942youtube.com/live/DRr6TNpE1Oc Battle of the Bulge - Through Ice and Fog - The 9th Air Force in the Ardennesyoutube.com/live/DA3ICV2YW-E?si=56Ccc7LgbUTN2EzdThe 83rd "Thunderbolt" Division in Normandy 1944 with Myra Milleryoutube.com/watch?v=8EqBEYuiSCoYou can become a YouTube Member and support us here youtube.com/channel/UCUC1nmJGHmiKtlkpA6SJMeAYou can become a Patron here patreon.com/WW2TVPlease click subscribe for updates also "like" the video - it really helps!Social Media links -twitter.com/WW2TVfacebook.com/WW2TVinstagram.com/ww2tvWW2TV Merchandise ww2tv.creator-spring.comWW2TV Bookshop - where you can purchase copies of books featured in my YouTube shows.
