    Episode 135: The Somme’s Northern Disaster

    06.07.2026 | 1 Std. 12 Min.
    At 7.30am on the morning of 1st July 1916, whistles blew along a front stretching more than twenty miles. Tens of thousands of British soldiers climbed from their trenches and began walking towards the German lines. By nightfall nearly 20,000 of them would be dead. It remains the bloodiest day in British military history. But that catastrophe was not evenly spread across the battlefield. Some sectors were disasters.

    Others achieved limited success. To understand what happened, we need to begin in the north, where the British offensive would suffer its greatest failures.

    Episode 134: France's Elite Units

    29.06.2026 | 54 Min.
    What turns a unit into an elite?

    Is it rigorous selection, a hard-earned reputation, or simply being thrown into the fiercest fighting and surviving?

    In today's episode, we search for the answer through the story of the Blue Devils of the Vosges. From the Chasseurs to the Corps Francs, we'll explore what the French considered to be their elite units of the First World War.

    Episode 133: The Gallipoli Evacuation: A Forgotten Success Story?

    22.06.2026 | 1 Std. 3 Min.
    For eight brutal months in 1915, every Allied plan at Gallipoli had failed. However, on the final night of the campaign, the Allies finally managed to pull off one perfectly executed operation and evacuate.

    This is the story of how a disastrous campaign came to an end with an almost flawless final action.

    Episode 132: Battles that Shaped the 20th Century

    15.06.2026 | 51 Min.
    In this week’s episode and in a long overdue collaboration between Not So Quite on the Western Front and WW2 Both Sides of the Wire, four of us sit down to explore what we feel are the battles that, for one reason or another, shaped the course of the 20th century.

    Pre-order here:
    ⁠http://battleguide.co.uk/inferno

    Written by four historians, each bringing their own unique perspective, Inferno explores war on land, at sea, and in the air — from Mons in 1914 and the trenches of the Somme, to Stalingrad, Normandy, and the brutal final battles of the Pacific War.
    Across 12 in-depth chapters, we examine the battles that helped create the modern world: the experiences of those who fought them, the decisions that defined them, and the consequences that still shape our world today.
    Inferno is available now for pre-order in print and ebook, with an audiobook version narrated by Dan Hill.

    Episode 131: The August Offensive: Gallipoli’s Last Great Hope

    08.06.2026 | 1 Std. 9 Min.
    In August, the Allies prepared for their largest offensive yet on the Gallipoli Peninsula.

    This was intended to be the decisive breakthrough that would break the deadlock and end the stalemate once and for all. The plan involved a new landing, a night march and a dash for the heights. But how did the campaign's most imaginative plan become its most bitter failure?
