19. Discussing Fall Gelb (1940): The Fallschrimjager on the Albert Canal and Fort Eben-Emael with Mike Peters
On this episode, Mark welcomes Mike Peters, expert on glider operations during the second world war, host of the Mighty Eighth Podcast, co-author of Glider Pilots of Arnhem, The Glider Pilot Regiment and Bomb Group books. Mark and Mike discuss the Fallschrimjager operations on the Albert Canal in Belgium on 10 May 1940. Divided into four assault groups using the DFS 230 gliders, they launch four assaults codenamed Granite at Fort Ében-Émael, Steel on the Veldwezelt bridge, Iron on the Kanne bridge and Concrete on the Vroenhoven bridge. These assaults were in preparation to allow the Panzer regiments to advance into Belgium under the Blitzkrieg. Mike and Mark discuss how the Fallschrimjager planned, developed and conducted these operations, particularly in the light that they were not used during the invasion of Poland, but saved to be used in the Coup De Main action that all belligerent nations had to stand up and take note of. Thus, shaping the ideas of the Allies concepts for airborne operations for the rest of the war ironically as the Axis airborne operations declined.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.

17. The Lady with the Lamp: Discussing Florence Nightingale with Mrs Yvonne Stone MBE
On this episode, Mark welcomes Mrs Yvonne Stone MBE to the syndicate to discuss Florence Nightingale. With connections to the Bracebridges, a local North Warwickshire family in Atherstone, Florence was encouraged to pursue her passion for the care of others. With their support and that of other officials, she took over the control of a makeshift hospital in Scutari for Allied soldiers during the Crimean War (1853-1856), turning it around with new methods of hygiene and care resulting in saving lives. Known as the 'Lady with the Lamp', she certainly achieved much in the face of poor odds during this period, but Yvonne also highlights the other social reforms and the reach of Florence's influences, which very convincingly advocates her deserved place amongst the greatest of British citizens ever.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.
