The History Syndicate Podcast is to bring together those with a common interest in history. It is to build a community for anyone to discuss everything and anything history.
Whether your research is part of an academic scholarly debate, a museum exhibition, an historical project or personal family history, the syndicate wants to hear and share it with the world.
So much work, time and effort placed into discovering, re-evaluating or add to historical knowledge often goes unsaid, unpublished and unheard. It is the syndicate’s desire to provide a relaxed conversational forum where all have equal opportunity to present their knowledge and hard work.

On this episode, Mark welcomes Frank Pleszak back to the syndicate to discuss Operation Manna that took place in Holland beginning in April 1945. Coupled with Operation Chowhound from the USA and Operation Faust, humanitarian aid was delivered by air and road into Holland to prevent starvation amongst the civilian populations. Having run events at the Avro Heritage Museum in Manchester with veterans, Frank provides the comments that were made by the veterans about this task that they were not prepared for, or trained for, at the end of the war to ensure that the people of Holland were fed.
Recordings provided with the kind permission of Frank Pleszak as a volunteer of the Avro Heritage Museum and the veterans of Op MANNA that they interviewed, John Manoghan and Jeff Brown, who spoke on the recordings. All provided with permission.
From the macro to the micro topics of history, The History Syndicate Podcast is the forum for all with a common interest in all things history.
