"News of The War" – How d'you pronounce a short word like 'Foggia' ... It doesn't matter. What matters, is its capture. And this week's episode is captivating, not least for the cheeky monkey impressions. All go on the Home Front too, of course. Council shenanigins? We've got you. Horse racing trivia? No problem. The Soviets go to unpronounceable places, and everyone's developing super-weapons. Bazooka, bazooka - you wouldn't believe it, unless you read the #NewsoftheWar. Letters to the Editor. Sport. Dictator of the Week. And - crucially - all the #newsofthewar that really mattered in September 1943 ... it's ALL GOING ON in the #NewsoftheWar ...Andy Aitcheson and Merryn Walters dig into the newspapers, chasing the stories that didn’t make it into the history books. Expect dry wit, sapper grit, deep dives, and the detours into what lurks in the photos, gossip, scandal, news, and letters to the editor during the Second World War.
