Hello everyone welcome back to the history hit warfare podcast I'm your host James

Rogers and as you know each week twice a week we bring you brand new cutting-edge

military histories from around the world I like to say we're on the front line of military history and I can prove

it go back through our well over 200 episodes in our back catalogue and I guarantee

you'll find so many episodes that you're gonna love and if you think we're missing a history, then you know what to do.

Get in contact directly on warfare at historyhit.com. Now once a week I like to delve deep in the Dan Snow's history hit archive to pull out an episode that I think deserves a little bit more attention and it is

2022 that marks 40 years since the start of the Falklands War and all through April will have special

Don't we're going to say and I think I vaguely knew where they were.

When you heard the news that you were going to be fighting a conventional, I mean I'm, you know, when I'm not
