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.”
