This week at TimeGhost we're looking over the feedback all of you gave us for our livestream. This is something we want to do often, even weekly, and make the live aspect exclusive to all of you in the TimeGhost Army.

What are some things you would like us to discuss next time?

189 - Mussolini is Tired of War- WW2 - April 9th , 1943

Adolf Hitler meets with Benito Mussolini to hopefully restore his flagging morale and convince him that the Axis can hold out in North Africa, but the situation there grows more precarious and this week there the Allies advancing from the west and the east link up for the first time. The Axis are also holding out in the Caucasus, as new Soviet attacks to take Krymskaya begin.

As ever, really well constructed episode. The recent live episode was also very good, just not enough coverage on events on the China front 🙈😂. The aspects that I find most interesting and which you cover well are the lesser known events and background. Whilst keeping this all separate from the shocking and appalling events taking place in Ukraine, there is much around the area of support logistics that would I think be valuable to understand more about. You have covered this to some extent but as current events are showing, successful logistics win conflicts as much as courage and skill.

I very much enjoyed the livestream - it felt essentially like a live (longform) OOtF which was excellent. I might say it could be helpful to have somebody from the staff reading the chat and cherry-picking the questions for Indy/Sparta or whomever is talking to make things go smoother. It looked pretty tricky having to bounce between the various chat/message channels while also actually answering them.

I agree on the Chinese issue, as the big players are getting in big scraps they seem to be forgetting the smaller stuff. the chinese then and now want tibets uranium.

It would be nice to sometimes touch on the smaller nations and operations like Tannu Tuva and Mongolia. Like @John Belland mentioned too, Tibet and Bhutan are also interesting areas to discuss upon.

It doesn't have to be soon, but I agree that China isn't being covered as well as it should be. Japan had a huge army occupying China, tying up a lot of resources. The interaction between Nationalists and the Communists would be a great topic, and a continuation of the excellent "Between Two Wars" episodes on China in the early 20th century.

Perhaps this is a limitation of the format but I would enjoy seeing you all to have the capacity for meatier questions that synthesize the history and current events rather than just a cursory connection to other historical events. Part of what I value about Indy and Sparty is their perspective and being pointed back to a retelling of the holodomor without any real connection to modern events is disappointing. Assume I am familiar with the history, I want YOUR takes on how that history informs what is happening now I can look all the above up on Wikipedia, what I would be interested in seeing is a synthesis of that history and modern events by people who have been immersed in that history for years. Maybe this is asking too much and not suited for an AMA format but I am genuinely interested in a bird's eye view analysis from Indy and or Sparty on what has happened and I don't see a source for that. This may not be a proper question for an AMA but this is what I have been left wanting for and have only gotten disappointing non answers. Into context just retreads history we have already gotten, I want to know what they THINK. Alex

I dont think you should do the Live-Stuff exclusive to the Army.

That battle/brawl in New Zealand has me hopeful that we'll see the Battle of Bamber Bridge on the channel. Shots were fired in a fight between black and white American troops stationed in Lancashire. https://theconversation.com/black-troops-were-welcome-in-britain-but-jim-crow-wasnt-the-race-riot-of-one-night-in-june-1943-98120 As the article notes though, it was one of just dozens of fights between black and white American troops in Britain.

Great episode as always guys. I have a question, request for your D-Day special and a story of my Grandparents in WW2 almost fighting against each other in Sicily (US vs Italy). First the question is I am seeing that you are marking on the Germany-USSR map that the USSR has Corp size units now. I was always under the understanding that he USSR did not have Corp sized units during WW2. So can you explain what you are marking as Corp units (3 X's XXX over the box) on the Eastern front? My request I thought of comes from episode this week on the German bunkers in WW2. I am hoping that during your special on D-Day you point out where the bunkers are on the beaches on D-Day are when you show a map of the beaches (the maps with the bunkers are easy to find in a Google search). I am hoping you do this because showing the maps of the bunkers and where the German units are stationed explains the Allied loses on D-Day in a great way. This is because going into D-Day it was known that the greatest amount of German bunkers and troops were defending Omaha beach. So the Allies knew going into D-Day that Omaha beach was going to be the most deadly beach by far which is also why D-Day was the only beach that had 2 divisions assigned to land on it in the first wave of attacks (it also had a 3rd division in reserve). All of the other beaches on D-Day had a single division assigned to taking them. When people think of D-Day today they think all of the beaches were like the opening scene in the movie 'Saving Private Ryan' (great movie). But in reality the other beaches on D-Day were much less well defended by the Germans. The Germans didn't actually have heavy defenses along the whole coast of France like the Nazi Propaganda tried to make the Allies think during WW2. There are many stories of Allied troops landing in the first wave on D-Day and not encountering enemy fire on the beaches and only starting to encounter German resistance after they got passed the beaches. And then the story I have I am bringing up because of the story of this weeks sponsor. In my family I had one Grandfather fighting in the US 1st Infantry division (the Big Red One) and then on my Dad's side of the family his Dad (my other Grandfather) and my Dad's uncles fought for the Italian Army during WW2. All 3 of my Grandfathers brothers were captured in Italy during the retreat from El Aleman to Tunis. My Grandfather was then captured in Sicily (he didn't fight in Africa) when the Allies invade there. My Grandfather and his brothers treatment by US and British soldiers during their captivity is what convinced them to move to the US after the war. Before my Grandfather passed away he always talked about how he was fed better in his whole life to that point as a prisoner of the US military then as he lived as a citizen and then a solider of Italy. As for combat he also always talked about how he barley even got to shoot his rifle in training and then when he was assigned to a unit to defend Sicily he was only given 2 clips of ammunition. One that was in his bolt action gun and then a spare. After he and his unit had fired all of their ammunition they then surrendered to the Americans. That was all the combat he saw during WW2. I wish I could say my 2 Grandfathers units actually fought against each other during WW2 but my Dad said they talked about their time in the war after my Dad and Mom were married and where they fought and determined that they were not close enough to each other to have fought each other. Because my Mom's Dad fought in the Big Red One which had the most combat experience out of any US division during WW2 fighting in North Africa, Sicily, being the lead division on Omaha beach on D-Day, fighting in France and then Germany. My Mom's Dad "only" fought in North Africa and Sicily before being assigned to training other soldiers in the US. I wish I had been able to ask my Dad's uncles about their experience during WW2 but they died before I was born. According to my Dad the 3 of them saw a lot of combat in North Africa. I also wish I could have asked both of my Grandfathers about their war experience myself. My Moms Dad died when I was 1 and my Dad's Dad died when I was 9. So I couldn't ask them much about the war myself. I do remember my Dad's Dad telling me the story about the good treatment he got as a prisoner by the USA and that the amount of food he got as a prisoner is what convinced him to move his family to the US once he got a green card (My Dad was born in Sicily Italy himself). My Dad's brothers also wanted to move to the US but couldn't get green cards so one settled on moving to Canada, another to Belgium and the last stayed in Sicily. So most of the info I have on the stories of all of their war experience come from my Dad and my uncles. Any one asking my age based on my YouTube picture though, I am only 32. My Dad and Mom only started having kids when they were older (my Dad was born in 1949) which is how someone as young as me had Grandparents fighting in WW2. If my Grandparents had actually fought against each other in WW2 on Sicily that is something that movies are made of is something I have always thought about.

I enjoyed tonight's live stream, thank-you all. The title was also much more appealing, I thought.

Ecellent as always! Very appropriate colour combination on tie and shirt!

I don't appreciate the finger-pointing at the end. Usually when you talk about mistakes of some historical figures, it is a result of an analysis - you either show his incompetence or his disregard for lives. But this one seems to me just pointless and emotionally motivated. "Why didn't he let them retreat? Don't think about it, just hate him forever" is the feel I was left with after that part. I think we should stop doing this as a people. Its the same stupidity as polish and slovaks arguing who was the bad guy anytime 1938/1939 is mentioned. It is the past, we should learn from it, not get emotional and prejudiced over it.
