History’s Secret Heroes – This new BBC Sounds series looks at WWII heroes that haven’t had the recognition that they deserved. There’s stories of prison breaks and spy networks, to a US ‘ghost army’ that used inflatable tanks and sound effects to fool the enemy and cover up real troop movements. These stories are narrated by Helena Bonham Carter, with all episodes available to listen to on BBC Sounds now.
