    325. Tunisgrad: Part III - Rommel's 'Last Dance'
    2025/09/17
    In the third instalment of our Tunisgrad series, Saul and Roger explore two pivotal moments from early 1943. First, they head to the Casablanca Conference, where Allied leaders Churchill and Roosevelt made the monumental decision to demand the "unconditional surrender" of the Axis powers. Then, we jump into the final, desperate German counter-offensive in Tunisia, Erwin Rommel' 'Last Dance'. Saul breaks down a series of crucial battles, from the initial Axis victories at Sidi Bou Zid and the Kasserine Pass, which exposed weaknesses in the U.S. forces, to the strategic Allied comeback. We’ll cover how the Allies regrouped, learned from their mistakes, and ultimately repelled Rommel’s last major assaults in Operation Ochsenkopf and the Battle of Medenine, sealing the fate of the North African campaign.

    This week, hosts Saul David and Roger Moorhouse discuss a series of momentous events that could be seen as a turning point in the war. They analyse a shocking Russian glide bomb attack on civilians in eastern Ukraine, a historic drone incursion into Polish airspace, and the hardening of attitudes within NATO. The hosts also examine the political fallout from these events, including the reactions of Donald Trump and other Western leaders, and the latest news from Russia.

    323. Operation Torch and the Race for Tunis
    2025/09/10
    In this episode, Saul and Roger dive into the chaotic opening moves of the Tunisian campaign, covering Operation Torch and the frantic "Race for Tunis." Together they explore how the Allied invasion of North Africa, a strategic compromise between Roosevelt and Churchill, was meant to catch the Axis off guard but instead led to a desperate dash for the Tunisian capital. They'll detail the swift German response as they air-lifted troops into Tunis, establishing a strong defensive perimeter that would hold for months. They also break down the key battles, including the Allied defeats at Tebourba and Medjez el Bab, where superior German defences and coordinated counterattacks halted the Allied advance. Finally they look in detail at the first bloody attempt to take the strategically vital Longstop Hill in December 1942, a key position that would only fall to the Allies months later. Find out why the Axis emerged victorious in these initial clashes and what this meant for the rest of the campaign.
