The Battle of the Somme - a podcast by Jon Towers

An unflinching look at one of the bloodiest battles in world history The Battle of the Somme. As much as WW1 was the first modern war in terms of weaponry, tactics and strategy were still limited by battlefield communications. We break down mobility and counter mobility and the role of the Combat Engineer. We also look at British General Haig and his life and experience to try to understand the massive sacrifice of the men of the British Expeditionary Force in this months long battle that eventually lead to an allied victory at Verdun.
