well you will *never* guess what historical event we're talking about today

It's week on 'Today in History with the Retrospectors' - all week we're revisiting some of our favourite World War Two stories.

Today: 5 May 1945, when Americans and N***s fought side-by-side - in the ‘Battle For Castle Itter’...

It was an attempt to free high-profile French prisoners from a 13th century Austrian castle.

The prison - a sub-unit of Dachau concentration camp - housed former prime ministers and military figures, treated as "honour prisoners" by the N***s.

Sensing the shifting tides, prisoners took matters into their own hands, dispatching emissaries to seek aid from advancing American troops. What followed was a daring rescue mission that brought together an unlikely coalition of American, German, and French forces - led by an American tank commander and aided by a defected Wehrmacht officer.

Amazed by the comments on this that lots of our fans evidently hadn't noticed that we've been putting out new episodes since January ahead of committing to this relaunch... Demonstrates how hard it is to cut through the conversation on social media these days that even people who follow our show didn't know this news. Please tell your friends!
