This is a fascinating series, and just 15m an episode. I find it enduringly fascinating to understand the world I was born into, 21 years after the end of #WWII #history #podcasts

David Runciman tells the story of the 1945 election and the dawn of a new age.

As I head out the door to attend my local Remembrance Day ceremony, here is a story from the CBC about the USA and Canada in WWII.
““We each share a border. If something happened to Canada tomorrow, wouldn't I want the United States to defend them? If something happened to us, wouldn't we want Canada to help defend us? So I'm telling you, we need as countries to resolve these issues that we are having right now, today.””

Somebody needs to tell Trump WHY Japan attacked Pearl Harbor

A friend’s dad told me a story the other week about his grandmother, who was part of the resistance against the fascist regime back in Italy during WWII.
She’d frequently have incriminating documents and plans in her house. One day, Mussolini’s soldiers were on patrol, knocking on doors of suspected resistance members and they came to inspect her house. She had a large map of a planned sabotage operation out in the living room.
So she had her husband open the door while she hid the map in the piano stool and sat down. When the authorities came in, she was playing the piano, welcoming them with a smile. She continued playing the entire time they searched the house, pretending it was in their honor.
Nobody asked to check the piano.

my dad's dad was in Spain under Franco, imprisoned.
my wife's mom's dad landed on the second day in Normandy.
They'd both no doubt be disgusted with what is happening in our country and especially in the USA.
