Today's guest is First World War and German historian Tim Grady of Chester University. Tim has done ground-breaking work on Jewish German soldiers in the First World War and is now looking at the care and burial of POW dead. His books include A Deadly Legacy: German Jews and the Great War (Yale), and his forthcoming Burying the Enemy: The Story of Those Who Cared for the Dead from the Two World Wars (also from Yale) promises to be an important work. We'll talk growing up in Seaford on the south coast of England, German archives ( sorry - he and Brian met at a conference, not in an archive), fish curry, The Clash, and working at Safeway. Enjoy!
