I’m focused on bringing WW2 history to life, dive into stories or head to one of my lectures as I explore some of the key events that shaped the outcome of WW2.

[Gareth Wade @garethwade]

A file marked SECRET.

A resistance network sacrificed.

Some wartime deceptions were meant to fool the enemy.

Others were meant to hide the cost.

Tomorrow 2pm at @FlyingHeritage : The Dam Busters.

Not the polished wartime myth, but the real story — impossible flying, engineering madness, exhausted crews, and one of the RAF’s most audacious raids.

Heroism, propaganda, brilliance, and British improvisation under pressure.

Available to preorder now! Book 2

In The White Cockade, a newly uncovered archive suggests something far more unsettling - that one of those remembered as a martyr may have had a very different purpose on that battlefield.

What if one man tried to stop the battle… and failed?

New Lecture at @FlyingHeritage & Combat Armor Museum on Saturday 31st January at 2pm - FREE ADMISSION!

WW2 was full of mistakes!

Bad assumptions. Overconfidence. Hubris. Political leaders meddling where they shouldn’t and the dangerous habit of believing your own propaganda.

[HistoryHuddle @HistoryHuddle]

War isn’t just about tanks and planes, it’s human drama, absurd inventions and deception plans so mad that they actually worked!

Join me this Saturday at 2pm at @FlyingHeritage museum to explore the stranger side of WW2 - Free Admission!
