This bonus episode features a special guest appearance on the Untitled History Podcast with Gareth Edwards, where we dive into the espionage case of Alfred Redl, an Austro-Hungarian officer who spied for Russia before World War I. 🎧 Listen to this episode and explore more here: RSS: https://cms.megaphone.fm/channel/the-untitled-history-podcast Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1pVhf1zLs05L1hPwsB2tJI Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-untitled-history-podcast/id1878396733 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@UntitledHistoryPod Founded in 1879, the Austro-Hungarian Evidenzbureau was the first permanent military intelligence service in the world. In 1901 Colonel Alfred Redl was appointed head of counter espionage. Redl’s reign saw a burst of innovation, helping propel Austro-Hungary to the forefront of the espionage world. What nobody knew was that Redl was a double-agent, also working as a spy for the Russian Empire. His exposure, in the run up to the First World War, created a huge intelligence and political scandal in Austro-Hungary and led to Redl’s suicide. In this episode we’re going to discuss this often forgotten spy scandal and why it deserves to be better remembered today.

In this episode we’re going to talk about the biggest operational military defeat that Germany has ever suffered in its history, a campaign that completely destroyed an entire German Army group in a matter of weeks. Despite the massive scale of the damage inflicted and the immense operational achievement it represents, this operation gets nearly no attention in the English-speaking world. I am talking, of course, about Operation Bagration, the Red Army’s triumph against Army Group Centre in the summer of 1944. Do you like our podcast? Then please leave us a review, it helps us a lot!

In this episode, we are returning to the core theme of this podcast series, and this is busting myths and taking a closer look at overly convenient truths - those that are too good and too fantastic to be true. The list of these myths is endless, which is a good thing, because it means we can continue with the podcast series for a long time. Of course, one has to pick and choose what myths to bust, and, in this episode, we will take a closer look at some of the more famous, or infamous, myths, from both the Western and Eastern front.

Even though it’s been partly overshadowed by later events in the war, at the time it was rightly seen as one of the greatest military victories of all time.
