Overview

The presenter joins forces with German comedian Henning Wehn to delve deeper into the truth behind some Second World War myths. Taking to the skies, the pair explore whether the Spitfire really was the saviour of Britain that it was cracked up to be. They also dive under the waves to find the truth behind the famous enigma machine and get behind the controls of their own tanks to discover how the legend of German tank superiority might actually have come down to radios rather than armour plating.
