Description
Tuesday, 19th September 1944, was Black Tuesday for the 1st Airborne Division trying to take and hold the road bridge at Arnhem. It was the day Operation Market Garden failed. Comedian and historian Al Murray joins us to discuss the efforts of the RAF's 38 Group to resupply the Paras and understand why the defeat still grips us 80 years later. ★Buy Arnhem: Black Tuesday by Al Murray at The Damcasters bookshop here (10% of each purchase supports the pod) UK only: https://uk.bookshop.org/a/11015/9780857506566 ★Follow Al on Twitter/ X here: https://x.com/almurray ★Follow Al on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/thealmurray/ ★Check out the Walking The Ground YouTube channel here:  @WW2WalkingTheGround  ★Listen to Stanley Maxted's BBC report from Arnhem during the 3rd Lift here: https://open.spotify.com/track/5foDTOMqjvpSmb1a16IxyY?si=d3a8345a19cf4c86 ★Get your 909 Apparel now! https://www.909apparel.com/ ★Get the latest from the Pima Air and Space Museum by following their socials!
