From the outbreak of the Second World War, the US Armed forces started to actively prepare for what they saw as their inevitable entry into the conflict. Nevertheless, they were still relatively ill prepared when they were finally drawn into the war on December 7th 1941, following the surprise attack by the Japanese on the US naval base at Pearl harbour.

Here we will see how the American G.I. was equipped by the time of 1944 on D-Day.

The Second World War is known for its brutality, with both the Allies and the Axis powers fighting tooth and nail for supremacy.
In spite of this, however, there were some incidents in which soldiers from one side actively or inadvertently aided their enemies. Whether this was done out of a sense of morality, ideology, or some reason known only to them, here are a few examples of when Axis and Allies worked together.

Sloped armor - an armor technique of inclining the armor plates in order to achieve superior strength and protection. Massively utilized in WWII, this technique would prove life saving in numerous occasions, giving the Soviet tank forces a fighting edge over the German counterparts. But it did come with some limitations and problems. How does it work, what are the good and bad things concerning the sloped armor, when was this technique used and when did that usage end? How did simple physics help deflect and outdate huge number of anti-tank weapons and what was the end game for it?

Frightening the wits out of soldiers or popping their eardrums till they bleed, are more unexpected ways of targeting one’s enemies. Here we cover the theory that the centuries old ‘Aztec death whistle’ may have had a military use. We listen to the sweet siren songs and church organs of World War II that quickly blew you to kingdom come. We recount the abuse of folk superstitions in Vietnam during the war, as well as the modern police sound cannons (LRADs) that are blasted onto protesters today.

In times of war, desperate measures are sometimes needed to be taken and nations would turn to the criminal elements of society to swell the ranks of their Armed Forces. Whether coerced, motivated by patriotism or by a sense of redemption, or something darker, those convicted of crimes have played an important role in warfare even to the current day.

The Spanish Flu, as the virus is now known, made its way around the world mindless of human politics, borders and morality, infecting soldiers and civilians, rich and poor alike. Its spread was so wide-reaching that the only continent it left untouched was Antarctica.
By the time the virus had run its course, approximately 500 million people, roughly one third of the world’s population, had fallen ill.
Conservative estimates place the death toll at 20 million people, but it is now widely accepted that the much more likely figure lies somewhere between 50 - 100 million.

The Type seven and Type nine were the striking force of the Kriegsmarine during the Battle of the Atlantic - a German attempt to cut off the British Isles and force the Allies to surrender.
In the first years of war, the Germans used them to cut off supply lines that were bringing weapons and equipment from the United States to United Kingdom.

When attacking, German U-boats were using so called “Wolfpack” tactic.

What does M.A.D. mean? M.A.D. refers to the full-scale use of nuclear weapons by two opposing sides, resulting in one clear, obvious outcome – mutually assured destruction. The policy of M.A.D. rests on the idea that if two countries or continents are equally as capable of destroying one another through nuclear attack, then there is no incentive for either side to pull the trigger, or remove it. Instead, nuclear-capable countries keep each other in check with the knowledge of the MAD doctrine, and that any sort of “first move” would result in global nuclear devastation.

For centuries wars are being fought with contemporary weapons and in some instances with future or prototype ones. However some old weapons, older than their current users, are being utilized. The Ukraine war has shown that some very old designs can still be used. Machine guns from a century ago, bolt action rifles older than that, submachine guns designed for WW2, anti-tank rifles as relics of the same conflict are being used, in big numbers or some rare occasions.

Each of these weapons tell us a story and serve as a testament of durability and the overall change and shift in the military doctrine as well as the consequences of the current situation. Not only that but those weapons, very crude and old, are serving on par with the latest designs, making the situation even more peculiar.

Most of those weapons have survived the harsh conditions of the biggest conflict in human history, years of storage and later wars beyond that. Some were served for decades as museum exhibits only to be called once again to fight in today's wars.

One of the most famous and cruelest of the witch trials was the “Swimming test” or as it was often called in Europe, the ”Floatation test”.
*This episode is not specifically about the Salem Witch trials, where no one was executed for witchcraft by burning. This is about witch trials in general: Hanging was most common, but burning did happen.

The Sepoy Uprising, which took place in India in 1857 - 58, is seen as one of the most shocking insurrections to take place against a colonial power during the 19th century. Although the uprising was ultimately unsuccessful, it fundamentally changed the nature of British rule in the subcontinent and is sometimes known, in India, as the First War of Independence.

One of the most notorious medieval torture devices was the “thumbscrews,” also known as “thumbkins.” Thumbscrews consisted of three metal poles, one or more of which was threaded, sitting vertically on a vice-like device. Along these poles, a plate or slab of metal or wood was placed horizontally with the ability to be slid up and down the poles. The victim’s fingers would then be placed in between the plate and the bottom of the device.

From the 7th to 24th June 1520, King Henry VIII of England and King Francis I of France take part in a diplomatic tournament known as the 'Field of the Cloth of Gold'.

The two monarchs were in their youth when they hosted this glorious event. They entertained each other and the over 12,000 attendees through fantastic banquets and grandiose spectacles. All was richly decorated in a spectacular display of wealth, most notably with wildly expensive cloths of gold.


Many thanks for Prof. Richardson for kindly reviewing an early draft of the script.
