    The SS: Hitler’s Fanatical Killing Organisation
    Oct 17 2026
    The Schutzstaffel, best known by its shortened name the SS, was a paramilitary organisation operating beneath Adolf Hitler during the Second World War. Beginning as a volunteer guard unit which acted as Hitler’s personal bodyguards, it eventually grew to become one of the most feared and powerful organisations in Nazi Germany, known for its rampant surveillance and ruthless punishments of those who didn’t swear loyalty to the Fuhrer. Worse still, the SS played a huge part in the Holocaust and was responsible for the dispatching of millions of Jews and other victims between 1939 and 1945. Learn more about your ad choices.

    The Fall of Kandahar: War in Afghanistan
    Oct 13 2026

The main goal of this new conflict was to locate and destroy the terrorists responsible for the attack, with US leadership soon determining that the very group they were looking for was residing in Afghanistan. Over the years, Afghanistan had witnessed the rise of the Taliban, an extremist militant movement that had taken over the country with the help of al Qaeda. In late 2001, the US, aided by anti-Taliban tribe leaders, sought to overthrow the regime, with one of their biggest targets being the city of Kandahar.

    In the summer of 1815, the gruelling Battle of Waterloo raged. It would be the conflict that would finally put an end to the intermittent warfare between France and other European powers, and usher in the downfall of Napoleon Bonaparte. But this bloody engagement would be costly, with Napoleon suffering as many as 26,000 casualties while European forces suffered around 24,000. It is considered the second bloodiest single-day battle in the Napoleonic Wars. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
