As a free bonus livestream episode, James Holland and Al Murray discuss the life and times of the last surviving RAF veteran of The Battle Of Britain, John 'Paddy' Hemingway, who sadly passed away this week at 105.

It is also a good time to revisit the myths of The Battle Of Britain, and show concisely the superiority of RAF forces during the summer of 1940, versus their Luftwaffe counterparts.

Blitz: London's Burning (Part 1)

Spring, 1945.

Two high-ranking SS officers in Hitler's empire, who have seen the writing on the wall for the Third Reich, are plotting their escape. With warehouses of counterfeit cash and hoards of stolen art, Karl Wolff and Ernst Karltenbrunner aren't just concealing their treasonous plots against their colleagues, but also each other.

Join James Holland and Al Murray as they uncover the audacious plans of two rivals plotting the same escape... and all unwittingly connected by the Allied spymaster, Allan Dulles.

The Duel: The Nazi Escape Plan (Part 1)

April-May, 1945.

Karl Wolff and Ernst Karltenbrunner are running out of time, and options. Interrogated by Himmler, and Hitler himself in the ruins of Berlin, their scheming is frustrated at every turn - even car rides and family members risk getting them killed. 

Join Jim and Al for the incredible endgame of the SS rivals from part 1. As the circle of vengeful Allied forces close in, will Wolff and Karltenbrunner find a Nuremberg noose around their necks? And will their high-profile prisoners hidden in Italy be the final victims of the Nazis in WW2?

Join James Holland and Al Murray as they discuss all things December 1944, including Noël Coward's diaries, the Conservative Party's conspiracies against Churchill, and their Christmas book wishlist from Santa.

Highlights & High Ground

Karelian Isthmus, Finland, Christmas 1939.

The first Christmas of WW2 sees brutal fighting between the Soviet Red Army and the Finnish defence forces. Stalin's invasion has stalled in the snow, with underprepared and ill-equipped Russian troops dying in droves to outnumbered yet experienced Finnish veterans. But under clear winter skies, a bigger threat is that 'sweating means death...'

Join Al Murray as he tells James Holland and John McManus all about the first Christmas of the war, and learn why you shouldn't sleep with your gun under the covers.
