@fallon_donal @RoyCurtis68 I watched 3 livestreams today from #HistFest; great speakers, but each of the livestreams ended before the questions from the audience (which I'd like to have heard). Can you pass this feedback to the organisers? Otherwise, 3 really fascinating sessions today!
#HistFest @hoyer_kat starts her talk (and her book) by telling how at the end of WW2, #Weimar residents were taken by the Allies to see #Buchenwald concentration camp, only 10 km away. They claimed to know nothing of what had been done there. #HistFest26 #DublinFestivalOfHistory
#HistFest @hoyer_kat's approach is to tell the stories of real #Weimar residents from 1919 - 39; in terms of a democracy failing, she suggests there were several possible turning points along the way, even after the Nazis came to power. #HistFest26 #DublinFestivalOfHistory
I'm rounding out my #HistFest livestream binge with the always-fascinating @hoyer_kat speaking on the #WeimarRepublic. She does so by means of a deep dive into the town of #Weimar itself in the inter-war years. #HistFest26 #DublinFestivalOfHistory
SMERSH really existed, at end of WW2 deployed by Stalin to mop up local partisan groups in the Baltic States and Eastern Europe, with information fed to it by Kim Philby, even into the early 50s. Ian Fleming wasn't making it up. #CambridgeFive #HistFest #HistFest26
Full Cabinet Minutes were sent straight to Stalin - even before WW2. Antonia Senior brilliant on British Establishment self-denial, their inability to even imagine the possibility of upper-class fifth-columnists working for Stalin. #CambridgeFive #HistFest #HistFest26
Differently important to USSR at different times:
Philby (the 1st recruit)
McLean (Foreign Office employee)
Burgess (flamboyantly gay, well connected socially)
Blunt (recruited young)
Cairncross (Treasury employee)
#CambridgeFive #HistFest #HistFest26
Seduced by the beautiful lie? Glamorous rogues? Victimless crime? Antonia Senior now looking at how 1930s upper class gilded youths turned to Marxism, and how Arnold Deutsch first recruited #KimPhilby - but through communist circles in Vienna, not Cambridge. #HistFest #HistFest26
The livestream from #DublinFestivalOfHistory moves to the #CambridgeFive, with Antonia Senior on the world's most famous spy-ring; five Establishment insiders working for Stalin, going back to the 1930s. #HistFest #HistFest26
I'm moving 'The Shortest History of Ireland' up my TBR list; James Hawes making the point that Irish re-unification is inevitable, and likely to happen in the way the Soviet Union collapsed, ie quicker than expected, and triggered by something impossible to anticipate. #HistFest
Another challenging point from James Hawes - the ONLY reason the U.K. was created in 1801 was to control Ireland, and at the time of the Act of Union, 20% of its people did not speak English. #HistFest #HistFest26
I'm watching the #DublinFestivalOfHistory livestream. Right now, James Hawes is galloping through a presentation of his brilliant 'Shortest History of Ireland'. Highly entertaining.
Prime take-away? The English would be Germans if it wasn't for the Irish. #HistFest #HistFest26
Brilliant crowd at @WeHaveWaysPod #WHWFV #histfest! It was excellent to share a stage with @gordoncorera & @robert_lyman talking about some of the outstanding #SpecialAgents of #SOE, including #AgentZo, #WW2. Thank you to everyone who shows an interest!
My last festival talk on #AgentZo this summer is at @Southwarkcathed #histfest, 3.30pm Fri 18 July :)
