In this episode we cover the tragic story of some French men who thought they had reached England but instead had landed on a beach in Guernsey.
The strange case of the spies and parachutists which has the Germans worried but also makes them look very silly.
The tale of two fishermen and a submarine also makes an appearance. You can find some of the things we talk about here.
