The June 1940 episode of the podcast ‘Islands at War’ is out now. The collaboration between Nick Le Huray and Keith Pengelley. You can find us on all the major podcast sites or click the links at the bottom of this post.
In the June 1940 episode Keith and I talked about a couple of corrections and additional information from the pilot episode. Links to books and things we talked about are here.
