Dr. Richard Fogarty discussing the role of racism in German protests against the role of French colonial troops in the occupation of the Rhineland. The usage of the troops from North Africa was also protested in other nations around the world. #WW1Symposium

Perhaps my new favorite FWW pilot. Quote from a letter found after his death. #WW1Symposium

Extremely important historical research about to happen. #WW1Symposium

“But I do beg that in the act of remembering that… we should also make the extra effort of at least trying to understand, because if we don’t, it seems to me that we are robbing those dead men of their due.” (John Terraine, 1983 address to Western Front Association)

Planning a Sep 2024 history excursion across the Atlantic for father's 70th. Looking for tour/guide recommendations for: * Normandy (2-3 days) * Verdun (1-2 days) * Ypres (1 day, from Brussels) Also looking for thoughts on Arnhem vs Bastogne for the 4th destination.

Just hit publish on the End of the Year podcast update. A bit of reflection on 2023, what is upcoming and some information about what I am doing to celebrate a decade of podcasting. Great War listeners might find interesting information within ;) patreon.com/posts/95630672

I wonder why this ended up on my Research pile ;)

Wait, where did this come from? Should be available on Sunday. #WW1

Fun little video of the Western Front throughout the war, obviously a map focused on the French, but still very interesting. reddit.com/r/MapPorn/comm…

Looking for recommendations on a Verdun day tour later this year.

Looking for #tour recommendations for the following, all in September: 2 day #Normandy #DDay tour (preferably from London) 1 day #BattleofBritain tour (from London) 1 day #Verdun tour (from Paris) 1 day #Somme tour (from Paris) #WW2 #History

Procrastinating on putting the finishing touches on my The Great War Group article for an upcoming Salient Points by.....reading an issue of Salient Points. Issue 13 on the Isonzo was a fun read. So Nicolai Eberholst (Pike Grey 1914-1918) when you are starting to freak out tomorrow, blame the earlier issue.

I am gathering names for historians that are interested in #BattleofBritain interviews for the podcast. So if you or someone you know would be interested in chatting about anything related to the BoB (aviation, naval, social, German, British, etc.) let me know!

History of the Great War started on this day 10 years ago. It has been a long, fun, road. And there is even more History of the Great War on the horizon!

It’s a massive project but do follow 110 Years Ago Today to learn about all the major events around the world during the Great War 1914-19. Today marks the first declaration of war.

Due to a trip I am taking in September (BoB Airshow, Normandy, Maginot, Verdun, and many other exciting destinations) the release of normal episodes will be greatly disrupted. There will be an excellent set of interviews on both podcasts though! #WW1 #WW2 #Podcast

Out now! My Interview with Patricia Cecil about the Sacred Service exhibit at National WWI Museum. We also chat in depth about chaplains during #WW1 and their challenging experiences. pca.st/kdez0lc4

This week I was joined by Dominic Etzold to discuss his most recent book titled Reaping the Whirlwind: The U-Boat War off North America during World War I. #WW1 historyofthegreatwar.com/interviews/int…

Most exhausting day of the trip so far, 20,000+ steps around the hills and forests of Verdun, but worth every one of them.

My favorite podcast is definitely History of the Second World War. That guy really knows what he is talking about!
