Alone, unprepared, and weak—these are the words often used to describe Britain’s position in 1940, a narrative that has persisted since the end of World War II. But is that the whole truth? The reality might surprise you.
In this episode, we uncover the fascinating story of Britain’s secret defences during the dark days of 1940. Joining me is Andrew Chatterton, author of Fortress Britain 1940: Britain’s Unsung and Secret Defences on Land, Sea, and in the Air. We delve into the vital yet often-overlooked roles played by the Pillboxes, the Home Guard, auxiliary units, and other covert organisations in preparing to resist invasion.
