In this episode: von Moltke’s thoughts, Croydon holds a referendum; Opium in China; Education in the Soviet Union; Hitler holds a demonstration and drink driving charges are dropped.
The Annika Mombauer book I mention is entitled Helmuth von Moltke and the Origins of the First World War
The Simon House book I mention is entitled Lost Opportunity: The Battle of the Ardennes 22 August 1914
Sorry to say it but I seem to have misremembered Beadle’s lecture on the Marne. I thought it was on YouTube but I suspect it was part of a Zoom event and never published. Shame. But as a consolation there is this lecture by Beadle on the origins of the Schlieffen Plan.
