Old Front Line Talk: The WW1 Battlefields Between the Wars
A talk by military historian Paul Reed for The Old Front Line podcast Patreon and BuyMeACoffee supporters looking at the battlefields of the Great War in the 1920s/30s and what happened to them in WW2.
For this talk we look at the state of the Western Front in 1919, the rebuilding of communities in the 1920s, the creation of the war cemeteries - 'Silent Cities' - pilgrimages to the battlefields, memorialisation on the old battlefields, and then how WW1 met WW2 in 1940 and 1944.
