This Day in Military History
Five minutes a day on what happened on this date in military history. Each episode brings two stories, from ancient battles and great sieges to the world wars, naval and air actions and the treaties that ended them: the people who lived them, one vivid detail, and why it still matters. Every episode is researched from reliable sources, listed in the show notes, and told with respect for those who served and fell. A new episode comes out every morning.
