Blitzwalkers

A look at wartime Britain, usually with a London slant. Mostly the Second World War but sometimes we look at other conflicts - notably the First World War and sometimes the Cold War too. Zeppelins, The Blitz, Battle of Britain, V Weapons. Local heroes and villains, the equipment, the offbeat. Book reviews and sometimes films as well. You name it, we've covered it - come and join the party!
