Step beyond the battlefield and uncover the untold stories of World War II with host Jim Beaver on The World War Archive, an AI-powered podcast by Skoob. In this gripping U.S. history podcast, we reveal the secret alliances, betrayals, and hidden strategies that shaped not just the outcome of the war—but the world we live in today.
This World War II podcast pulls back the curtain on the uneasy alliance between the United States, Britain, and the Soviet Union, exposing Cold War planning that began long before 1945. Discover how the fall of Singapore broke Australia’s trust in the British Empire and reshaped Indo-Pacific geopolitics. Learn how Coca-Cola became a strategic tool of U.S. military morale, symbolizing American culture across wartime Europe and the Pacific.
Explore how Hitler’s Operation Barbarossa nearly collapsed the Soviet Union, and how Stalin used nationalism to rally a broken army. Uncover the shocking truth about how British and American intelligence prepared to rearm Nazi Germany—while still fighting Hitler—anticipating a coming war with their wartime ally, the USSR.
This episode from The World War Archive delivers powerful AI-curated World War II history, blending real human stories with secret military operations, geopolitical betrayal, corporate influence, and the quiet birth of the Cold War. With a fresh, accessible format created for U.S. listeners, this Skoob podcast brings you the hidden truths your history books left out.
