Ep. 1 Luigi Cadorna

On this episode Joe and Nick talk about Field Marshal Douglas Haig who led the majority of the UK's efforts during WW1, including the brutal battles of the Somme and Passchendaele.

Remember kids: Just because you're bad at math doesn't mean that you too may one day lead millions of men to their deaths.

Episode 3 - Bill Millin

On this episode of the Lions Led by Donkeys we talk about Sergeant Yakov Pavlov and his Soviet House of Death during the Battle of Stalingrad. Nick chugs Vodka to keep his horrible illness at bay long enough to record, we decide that the glorious Soviet Union would never lie in battle reports, and come to the conclusion that the Wermach was little more than Star Trek Red Shirts at this point of the war.
