A podcast on European conflicts from the perspective of each side to provide an alternative to the traditional national narratives.

But the aim of each main narrative will be to place each battle in the context of the overall history of Europe.

In 1920 the Polish and Soviet Russian armies clashed in a series of battles across a wide area of eastern Europe including Ukraine and Lithuania.
The Soviets advanced deep into Poland and reached the gates of Warsaw, with the aims of capturing the city and., more widely, exporting their revolution across Europe.
