There's scenes where you are attacking Japanese people in their trenches and you're burning people alive with with flamethrowers. Stalingrad probably that's the key battle that really turned the tide although it's a computer game it does give you a certain idea of what it must have been like fighting room to room. The other mode in the game is when you play as a Russian soldier in Stalingrad, they're leading the fight back against the Nazis.
Friday 6 June this year was the 70th anniversary of the D-Day landings in Normandy. My Grandad Dennis was one of the soldiers who landed on the beach that day. Along with thousands of other men he risked his life to fight the Nazis in the 2nd World War. Many of his fellow soldiers did not survive. Last Friday I went to Caen in Northern France to take part in the D-Day commemorations and to see my comedy hero Eddie Izzard performing stand-up in 3 languages. I recorded a podcast during my trip, and some unexpected things happened! Listen to the episode to join me on my adventure.
