  Episode 43 - The Last Night

  Sep 7, 202618 minS1

  On this episode of History Date Night, Justin and Jennie cover June 1st through 3rd. Theese are the days when Operation Dynamo comes to an end. They're going to review the costs of Operation Dynamo, because the casualty figures at sea this week are staggering, and review a firsthand account from the beaches themselves. This episode also has Hitler personally touring the Vimy Ridge battlefield where he fought as a young soldier in the last war, and staging photographs to counter reports that his army had bombed a Canadian war memorial. And we end with Winston Churchill ordering the creation of an entirely new kind of British soldier, one this war hasn't seen yet.

  Episode 42 - The Best Day

  Sep 2, 202616 minS1

  On this episode of History Date Night Justin and Jennie cover just two days, May 30th and 31st, 1940. This short but important stretch of days contains the most successful day of the entire Dunkirk evacuation, a general breaking down and weeping on the beach, and an argument between Churchill and Reynaud that's going to affect Anglo-French relations for years to come. This episode also sees a Victoria Cross earned by holding a burning barn against overwhelming odds, a nurse's firsthand account of German aircraft attacking clearly marked ambulances, and Britain preparing for invasion by removing road signs in the British countryside and shipping sixty million pounds of gold across the Atlantic all while its army is still trapped on a French beach.

  Episode #41

  Episode 41 - In the Tent

  Aug 31, 202619 minS1

  On this episode of History Date Night Justin and Jennie cover May 27th through the 29th. These might be the most important three days of the entire war so far, not just because of what happens on any battlefield, but because of a five hour argument that takes place inside the British War Cabinet, about whether Britain should try to make peace with Hitler. This episode also has two separate SS massacres of British prisoners within 24 hours of each other, King Leopold of Belgium surrendering his country without telling his allies, French, Polish, and Norwegian troops actually recapturing a town from the Germans in Norway.

  Episode 40 - The Halt Order

  Aug 26, 202616 minS1

  This episode of History Date Night covers May 23rd through the 26th, 1940. As German tanks race across France with Allied forces seemingly on the verge of total disaster, the German advance suddenly comes to a halt. Why did the tanks stop when victory appeared within reach? And was this pause one of the most consequential decisions of World War II? This episode follows the chaos surrounding the northern Allied armies as their command structure begins to unravel, including a series of missed meetings and a fatal car crash that leaves the French high command struggling to coordinate its forces at the worst possible moment. Meanwhile, Britain launches a sweeping arrest of hundreds suspected of fascist sympathies, and in Mexico City, Leon Trotsky survives an assassination attempt involving bombs and machine guns.

  This episode of History Date Night covers May 19th through the 22nd. The German spearhead reaches the sea, cutting the Allied armies in Belgium off from the rest of France . A new French commander's grasp of the crisis is tenuous at best. Justin and Justin also cover Churchill's first radio broadcast as Prime Minister, the British counterattack at Arras that rattles Erwin Rommel, important progress at Bletchley Park against Luftwaffe Enigma traffic, and a British Parliament passing the most sweeping legislation in the country's history in less than three hours of debate.
