Mon, 07 Oct 2024 - 38min - 699 - David's Final Episodes: World War II - Hitler, Stalin & Ukraine
In today's special episode David Knowles speaks to historian, author and podcaster James Holland (@James1940 on X) about the Eastern Front in the Second World War.
This was recorded and edited by David shortly before his sudden passing.
The Second World War was catastrophic for Ukraine: millions died in the fighting and occupations, the battles that crossed the country were brutal and grinding, the country’s Jews were exterminated in the ‘Holocaust of bullets’, and the eventual Soviet victory ensured decades of further domination and control from Moscow.
This episode aims to give a broad account of the period and explore some of the key issues and stories.

And so thy thoughts, when thou art gone,
Love itself shall slumber on.

Mon, 22 Jul 2024 - 57min - 642 - Return to Bucha: how a community rebuilds after a massacre
This episode is available now to Telegraph subscribers and will be available to everyone on the 17th July.
In the first of The Telegraph's special podcasts on the war in Ukraine. Presenter David Knowles and Producer Adélie Pojzman-Pontay travel to Bucha and Hostomel, north of Kyiv, to hear the stories of citizens who survived Russia's brutal occupation in Spring 2022.
In Hostomel they meet Roman, a young Ukrainian man who fled his new apartment as Russian forces advanced. When he returned after the liberation he discovered the disgusting ways the occupying troops had treated his home.
Then, they travel to Bucha to see an old friend, Ihor Savchenko. Two years on from the occupation of Bucha, Ihor is helping his community piece their lives back together even though the war threatens to engulf him once again.
We first met Ihor's daughter Katya in 2022 - listen to that episode here: https://shows.acast.com/ukraine-the-latest/episodes/658301371b4a0600176a40ee
