      <title>Episode Bonus: The 1913 Redl Spy Case</title>
      <description>This bonus episode features a special guest appearance on the Untitled History Podcast with Gareth Edwards, where we dive into the espionage case of Alfred Redl, an Austro-Hungarian officer who spied for Russia before World War I.

Founded in 1879, the Austro-Hungarian Evidenzbureau was the first permanent military intelligence service in the world. In 1901 Colonel Alfred Redl was appointed head of counter espionage. Redl’s reign saw a burst of innovation, helping propel Austro-Hungary to the forefront of the espionage world.



What nobody knew was that Redl was a double-agent, also working as a spy for the Russian Empire. His exposure, in the run up to the First World War, created a huge intelligence and political scandal in Austro-Hungary and led to Redl’s suicide.



In this episode we’re going to discuss this often forgotten spy scandal and why it deserves to be better remembered today.

What might seem like a minor campaign to some at first glance was actually loaded with political significance and military consequences.

      <title>Episode 67: Königsberg 1945: The End of a German City</title>
      <description>In today’s episode, we’ll take a look at the Red Army’s second – and this time successful – offensive into East Prussia in 1945. It’s a campaign that saw a bitter, months-long siege and resulted in the disappearance of a historic German region.

      <title>Episode 33: Prisoners of War in Asia</title>
      <description>In today’s episode, we’ll pick up our theme of Prisoners of War - and this time we’ll focus on the Asia-Pacific theatre. As in Eastern Europe, similar harrowing themes defined the experience of men in enemy hands: a punishing climate, disregard for human life, forced labour, and even a ten-year-wait before seeing home.

      <title>Episode 32: Prisoners of War in East Europe</title>
      <description>In today’s episode, we’re going behind the lines to consider the oft-overlooked fates of the millions of soldiers on the Eastern Front who fell into enemy hands and became prisoners of war. Millions were killed or died in camps from Germany to Siberia, and many did not make it home until the 1950s. This is their story.

      <title>Episode 25: Pearl Harbor - Japan and the China Problem</title>
      <description>In today’s episode, we’re going to put a new twist on an old favourite that is shrouded in its share of WW2 mythology: why did Japan decide to attack the United States at Pearl Harbor in 1941? Was it really only the oil embargo that tipped the balance, or is the story more complex?

      <title>Episode 22: U-Boats</title>
      <description>In today’s episode, we’ll get our feet wet in what Winston Churchill once called the most critical battle of the war: the Battle of the Atlantic. And of course the main part of this struggle for mastery of the seas was waged on the German side by submarines - the famous U-Boats, who did their utmost to strangle Britain and win the war for Germany.

      <title>Episode 18: The Greatest Allied Victory of the War?</title>
      <description>In this episode we’re going to talk about the biggest operational military defeat that Germany has ever suffered in its history, a campaign that completely destroyed an entire German Army group in a matter of weeks. Despite the massive scale of the damage inflicted and the immense operational achievement it represents, this operation gets nearly no attention in the English-speaking world. I am talking, of course, about Operation Bagration, the Red Army’s triumph against Army Group Centre in the summer of 1944.

There's no shortage of examples and today we are concentrating on what is arguably the most famous and perhaps also the most successful, Operation Mincemeat.

      <description>In this episode we take a closer look at Operation Barbarossa, the German invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941. It was the largest campaign in the history of warfare, and the one that, arguably, turned the tide and decided the outcome of the Second World War.Why did the Germans decide to invade, what were the Soviets plans, and how did this campaign develop?

      <title>Episode 11: More Myths</title>
      <description>In this episode, we are returning to the core theme of this podcast series, and this is busting myths and taking a closer look at overly convenient truths - those that are too good and too fantastic to be true. The list of these myths is endless, which is a good thing, because it means we can continue with the podcast series for a long time. Of course, one has to pick and choose what myths to bust, and, in this episode, we will take a closer look at some of the more famous, or infamous, myths, from both the Western and Eastern front.

The list of these myths is endless, which is a good thing, because it means we can continue with the podcast series for a long time. Of course, one has to pick and choose what myths to bust, and, in this episode, we will take a closer look at some of the more famous, or infamous, myths, from both the Western and Eastern front. </p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>Do you like our podcast?</p><p>Then please leave us a <strong>review</strong>, it helps us a lot!</p><p><strong>Join Our Community: </strong><a href="https://both-sides-of-the-wire.com/"><strong>https://both-sides-of-the-wire.com</strong></a></p><p><strong>Become a Supporter: </strong><a href="https://both-sides-of-the-wire.com/supporters/pricing"><strong>https://both-sides-of-the-wire.com/supporters/pricing</strong></a></p><p><strong>Support via Paypal: </strong><a href="https://battleguide.co.uk/bsow-paypal"><strong>https://battleguide.co.uk/bsow-paypal</strong></a></p><p><br></p><p><strong>E-Mail: ⁠</strong><a href="mailto:both-sides@battleguide.co.uk">both-sides@battleguide.co.uk⁠</a></p><p><strong>Website: </strong><a href="https://battleguide.co.uk/bsow">https://battleguide.co.uk/bsow</a></p><p><strong>Battle Guide YouTube Channel:</strong><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@BattleGuideVT"> https://www.youtube.com/@BattleGuideVT</a></p><p><strong>Our WW1 Podcast: </strong><a href="https://battleguide.co.uk/nsq"><strong>https://battleguide.co.uk/nsq</strong></a></p><p><br></p><p><strong>If you want to keep your finger on the pulse of what the team at Battle Guide have been getting up to, why not sign up to our monthly newsletter: </strong><a href="https://battleguide.co.uk/newsletter"><strong>⁠https://battleguide.co.uk/newsletter</strong></a></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Twitter:</strong></p><p><a href="https://x.com/jesse_history">@jesse_history</a></p><p><a href="https://x.com/BattleguideVT">@BattleguideVT</a></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Credits:</strong></p><p><strong>- Host: Prof. Dr. Matthias Strohn &amp; Jesse Alexander</strong></p><p><strong>- Production &amp; Editing: Linus Klaßen</strong></p><p> </p><p>Learn more about your ad choices.

      <title>Episode 10:  Stalingrad -  the battle and the myths</title>
      <description>In this episode, we’re diving into the Battle of Stalingrad – often seen as THE turning point of World War Two and the culmination point of Nazi Germany’s total war in the East. It’s perhaps the bitterest and bloodiest example of urban warfare, and like most big battles, it has given rise to myths that deserve a critical look.

      <title>Episode 9:  How the Allies Won – More Than Numbers</title>
      <description>In this episode we’ll get to grips with what might seem like a simple question – why and how did the Allies win the Second World War. The usual answer is that it was superior numbers. These matter, but we think that the answers go far beyond the statistic, in order to get to grips with all of this, we have to lift some of the fog of war.

      <title>Episode 8: Blitzkrieg - unstoppable German strategy or myth?</title>
      <description>In this episode we’ll investigate the idea of Blitzkrieg - were the stunning victories of German arms from 1939 to 1941 the result of a brilliant, a new military concept? Is the Blitzkrieg label a myth echoing Nazi propaganda? And what are the military roots of this Blitzkrieg and the associated doctrine?

      <title>Episode 4: The Greatest Victory of All Time?</title>
      <description>In this episode, we will tackle the German victory in the West and in particular over France in 1940. Even though it’s been partly overshadowed by later events in the war, at the time it was rightly seen as one of the greatest military victories of all time. It was a short but decisive campaign and it is still the source of all sorts of misunderstandings and controversy.
