32. Footnote No Longer Pt 3: The mistaken air raid in Besancon and subsequent SOE operations during the Second World War with John Cresswell
On this episode, Mark welcomes back Jon Cresswell to the syndicate to discuss the third part of the Second World War story of Besancon in occupied France. Previously, Jon had discussed the women in blue (Ep 10) and the Liberation of Besancon (Ep 20). This story sits between those two events. It is a story of an RAF Air Raid gone wrong that leads to the bombing of Besancon and the destruction of parts of the town. The intended target was a factory manufacturing components for the FW190 about an hours drive from Besancon. Seeking to prevent air raids in the future, the boldest of SOE agents, Temp Capt Harry Ree DSO OBE, launches a number of audacious special operations raids alongside the factory workers from the factory who worked there to destroy vital components and machinery. No longer a footnote in history due to Jon's and others efforts, he tells this final part of the story in engaging detail.From the macro to the micro topics of history, The History Syndicate Podcast is the forum for all with a common interest in all things history.The views expressed are those of the author and guest.

31. Discussing Korea: War Without End with Dr Rob Lyman
On this episode, Mark welcomes Dr Robert Lyman the co-author of a recent release 'Korea: War Without End'. They discuss the origins of the Korean War (1950-1953) that resulted from the in-balance between the hubris of rising and withdrawing powers in the Korean peninsular post the Second World War. That the war itself was effectively split into two wars that speak to the historical lessons for military war fighting, particularly how they are easily forgotten and costly to relearn.From the macro to the micro topics of history, The History Syndicate Podcast is the forum for all with a common interest in all things history.The views expressed are those of the author and guest.

30. Discussing Charlecote Mill with Karl Grevatt
On this episode, Mark welcomes Karl Grevatt from Charlecote Mill and he is the miller at the still functioning flour mill in Hampton Lucy, Warwickshire. It's known that there was a mill servings the local area in the Domesday book (1086) and although many of the mill's records were burned, many clues remain in source documents and the mill itself about its history. From local crime and punishment in the 17th century to the blessing protection marks in the mill, Karl not only keeps the memory of the mill alive, but also the techniques and knowledge of flour milling that would be recognisable to his 17th century forebears. With a previous career in historic building conservation, the passion and love that Karl holds for the preservation of this trade is remarkable. What a fabulous place with a niche history to learn, the last remaining functioning water powered flour mill in the Warwickshire that still uses local wheat to create flour for local use, this episode is a true historical gem not to miss.From the macro to the micro topics of history, The History Syndicate Podcast is the forum for all with a common interest in all things history.The views expressed are those of the author and guest.
