    Episode 114: How Germany Prepared for the Great War
    2026/02/09
    In this episode the first in a new series from the ‘other side of the wire’ along with guest historian Professor Matthias Strohn, we begin a much requested deep dive into the story of the Germany Army on the Western Front. This week our focus lies with the German pre-war military and how the early phases of the war unfolded from their perspective.

  • Episode 113: Flamethrowers in WW1: How Effective Were They?

    Episode 113: Flamethrowers in WW1: How Effective Were They?
    2026/02/01
    In 1915 the German Army introduced the world to the power of the flamethrower - but by 1916 the Allies had caught up with their own weapons. As the war continued flame stopped being a novelty and instead became a system - specialist troops, evolving equipment and developing tactics. We delve into that story in this episode and ask whether the flame thrower was a weapon whose bark was worse than its bite?

  • Episode 111: How Grenades Took Over the Trenches in WW1

    Episode 111: How Grenades Took Over the Trenches in WW1
    2026/01/19
    In the early months of the Great War, a hand grenade was almost an anachronism — a relic of fortress warfare associated with seventeenth-century “grenadiers” rather than modern industrial armies. And yet, by 1918, it had become one of the most important and feared weapons on the Western Front. This episode is the story of that transformation. From improvised “jam tins” and crude bombs to engineered patterns like the Mills bomb and the German Potato Masher stick grenade we’ll follow the technology, the tactics, and the hard, dangerous lessons learned in close combat.
