    1 - Eisenhower’s masterplan and the Airborne assault
    Nov 8 2023
    Tuesday, 6 June 1944 was barely an hour old when Major John Howard and the men of D Company, Ox and Bucks Light Infantry, hurtled out of the night sky above Normandy. Behind them the largest invasion force ever to set sail was approaching the French coast. After four long and brutal years of Nazi occupation, the liberation of mainland Europe was underway – D-Day had begun.

    2 - The first landings and the Airborne hang on
    Nov 8 2023
    ”I was sitting in on the greatest show ever staged!” As the brave men and women of the Resistance hurried through the pre-dawn darkness, risking lives to sabotage the Germans, off the Normandy coast the first landing craft were ferrying Captain Moose Schroeder and his men towards Utah Beach – the Americans were coming. And just in time for their airborne compatriots, fighting desperately to survive inland.

    3 - Bloody Omaha
    Nov 15 2023
    “As our boat touched sand and the ramp went down, I became a visitor to hell.” Death was coming to Omaha beach, only few on the Allied side expected it to be directed their way with such devastating consequences. The Americans presumed they’d brush aside meagre German defences; instead they found themselves plunged into hell and history.

    4 - Back with a vengeance
    Nov 22 2023
    “I know the longest day and all that stuff, but this really was a hell of a long day.” The first 24 hours of D-Day were make or break – on Gold, Juno and Sword beaches the British and Canadian forces had to get inland and dig in before the panzers arrived. Fail and they faced being thrown back into the sea.  Narrated by Paul Waggott Written by Robin Scott Elliot Production and Sound Design by Holy Smokes Audio Executive Producers Tony Pastor + Neil Fearn A Goalhanger Podcasts Production Cast; Mike Lyons Timothy Knutsen Micky Vee Thomas Mitchells Lukas Weschler Alex Figueiredo Carolyn Saint Pe Alexander Pinault Mustafa Bouanani Morrison James Karim Kronfli Darcey Ferguson Alex Magliaro Joel Emery Adam Jarrell Learn more about your ad choices.

    1 - The Invasion
    Nov 29 2023
    August 2, 1990. They came out of the darkness… tanks, column after column of the Republican Guard, Iraq’s feared and battle-hardened elite. Kuwait’s small and under-prepared army had no answer - within hours their country was under the brutal control of Saddam Hussein, Iraq’s feared dictator, and his army. How would the world respond?

    2 - The Air War
    Dec 6 2023
    Welcome to the first 24-hour news war. Saddam called it the ‘mother of all battles’. American jets, he proclaimed, would be blasted from Iraqi skies. The world was glued to rolling news channels as a very different conflict unfolded. Missiles and smart bombs rained down on Baghdad. In response Saddam launched Scud missiles at Israel, trying to explode the conflict into a Middle East-wide war. The world watched, and held its breath.  Narrated by Paul Waggott Written by Robin Scott Elliot Production and Sound Design by Holy Smokes Audio Executive Producers Tony Pastor + Neil Fearn A Goalhanger Podcasts Production Cast; Amal El-hawrani Nezar Alderazi Terry Silverthorne Kasper Michaels Cherise Silvestri Amina-Rose Jameel Yusef Jameel Ali Al-Saffu Tim Skinner Thomas Mitchells Abdelrahman Alhato Qutaiba F.

    3 - The Attack
    Dec 13 2023
    In the early hours of Sunday, 24 February, 1991, the still of the desert night was disturbed by the sound of helicopters, packed with paratroopers of the 101st Airborne Division, rising into the dark. The land war to free Kuwait from the Iraqi invaders had begun. It was to last a matter of days, but for the men who fought it Operation Desert Storm would stay with them for the rest of theirs.
