Memories of the Second World War are often oversimplified through the lens of politicians. A common thread missed is that of love and sexuality – particularly the experiences of queer men. Kasia Tomasiewicz is joined by Luke Turner, author of the book Men at War: Loving, Lusting, Fighting, Remembering 1939-1945, to discuss the sexual revolution that happened during that period.
- “It’s true the British can’t stop going on about the war. But there is so much left to discover.”
- “Outsiders often have an interesting perspective.”
- “I’d gotten sick of judging the past by the standards of the present.”
- “We still are incredibly repressed about sex in Britain.”
