This is the tenth anniversary episode of the Explaining History Podcast, thankyou to everyone who has listened to my lo-fi ramblings over the years, I hope you’ve found it interesting.


This week, we explore the complex social relations at the heart of Britain’s blitz experience and challenge the myth of a united and stoic people pulling together, the truth, as ever, is far more complex.
