You may not of heard of Al Bowlly, but pound to a penny you HEARD Al Bowlly.
His music is frequently used to this day to evoke the 30s and 40s.
Case in point, one of the greatest pieces of cinema, ever..
New special - The Notables - out today.
Join us wherever you get your podcasts. linktr.ee/NewsOfTheWar
Men like Al Bowlly - a man you know, but don't know. You've heard his voice a thousand times, and his story certainly made the headlines during WW2.
This is the one where @AndyAitcheson got very excited, and @rentaquill tries to hold the fort.

🚨 THE NOTABLES!
A special episode, finding people *of note* in the newspapers who met an untimely demise due to the Second World War. Their stories, their secrets.
Art. Music. Glamour. Conspiracy. More music. Sport.
🔥HEADLINE HEROES🔥 📰 READ ALL ABOUT IT! 📰

This gal. Carole Lombard. @AndyAitcheson got excited again. @rentaquill barely held the fort. In The Notables, we learn how Lombard died - and what the Butler did next. linktr.ee/NewsOfTheWar
And then the headlines get truly gloomy. Everyone knows the story of Glenn Miller. But had you read the conspiracy theories, behind his plane going down in 1944?! It's all in the #NewsoftheWar this week.

This Friday we have a new special episode: The Notables (Pt1)
Notable people from sport, music, film, art, politics and culture, swallowed up by the Second World War.
They did not survive, but their legacies live on.

He's done it again: the co-host of @newsofthewar has unearthed some splendid footage of action stations: Operation IRONCLAD. I can but offer a meagre addition, a couple of lowly maps to accompany today's episode on Madagascar. 1/412 🧵
Our final episode of our Less Expected Destinations series… Madagascar!

🇲🇬 Welcome to the News of the War!
This week's episode is being brought to you from that jewel in the Indian Ocean - Madagascar. In WW2, this gets tricky. There are some controversial opinions, all making headlines. And they're all in this week's pod.

Incredible scenes, as yet not commonplace, so they made doublepage spreads for the weeklies. It's quite a thing, doing photos on a podcast. We do try.

Did you know the Madagascar campaign was the turning point of the war? No, us neither. But that's how it was reported in the newspapers, and that's what we look at in the #NewsoftheWar.

Thinking about the next ep of @newsofthewar coming up on Friday, this seems appropriate. Not from the 1940s ~ the French didn't want to share, and good maps of the interior were scarce ~ but isn't it delightful?!
Makes the point about Madagascar, admirably. 🇲🇬

A little mapping to accompany your early evening @newsofthewar. Chaps at GSGS described the Turkish political situation as 'obscure'. 1:200k did appear, and 1:25k maps were made for Istanbul and the Dardanelles but it was never a happy mapping happenstance.
Ankara. 👇
