U-boat Secrets - with Writer Roger Moorhouse | Ep.129 | The Scandal Mongers Podcast

Phil is in Australia this week, combining a holiday in some of his favourite cities with several talks about 1945 The Reckoning.

But before he left he spoke to Roger Moorhouse about his fascinating new book on U Boats in WW2. Roger tells the story almost exclusively through the eyes of the German Navy, and the men who risked and very often lost their lives in submarines. It makes for a surprising new way of understanding a critical part of WW2.

Several Australia listeners have asked for a list of where Phil is speaking there. And so here are some opportunities to see him and say ‘G’Day’.
