Nazi Hunters
Well making good progress at the coalface. Have started writing chapter 9 looking at Operation Damocles, initiated by Mossad chief Isser Harel to kill Egypt's rocket programme using German V-2 scientists. It's very public unmasking cost him his job but succeeded.

My thanks to Tim Morton-Morys in Windsor for this image of his copy of The Secret War. A brief history of WW2 skullduggery - enjoy!
Forgotten Indian Prisoners of WW2

Was a real pleasure to be back on Angus Wallace's excellent WW2 Podcast today, chatting about the German defensive battles for the Rhine in 1944-45. I think we ticked all the boxes! Will post a link as soon as available.
Britain & the Blitz
Another Netflix military history recommendation - colourised footage supported by audio recordings and diary readings from those involved. Very much focused on the human experience. Unusually no talking heads until the very end. A very well crafted documentary.
