48. Discussing interned Pilots and Air Crew in neutral countries during the Second World War with Andrew White

On this episode, Mark welcomes Andrew White onto the podcast to discuss WW2 Pilots and Aircrew in neutral countries. An often overlooked niche of the Second World War, Andrew discusses the nuances of airmen being held in neutral countries and the different approaches various neutral countries took towards them. The international legal framework was outdated and had not considered the use of airpower in warfare leading to differences in how countries approached the interned personnel. So many facets of this conversation were eye-opening and informative, that most people would not have thought about previously. A forgotten history brought back into the conversation wonderfully by Andrew.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.The views expressed are those of the author and guest.
