North African Odyssey: To Hell And Back (Part 3)

The conclusion of Holland and Murray's series on the Oudna disaster follows John Frost and 2 Para's desperate march back to British lines across Axis-held Tunisia. The episode gets into what happened to captured paratroopers and whether the catastrophe at Oudna nearly killed airborne operations before they matured. Holland is particularly good on the operational context — why the mission was misconceived and how Frost's leadership held the survivors together during the withdrawal.
