D-Day: The Home Front Heroes

Available for over a year

To mark D-Day, BBC Radio 5 Live honours some of Britain’s Homefront heroes – the people who made the invasion possible without being on the front line. Chris Warburton has been finding out about the young Bletchley Park code-breaker Mavis Batey, the weather forecaster Group Captain James Stagg and the extraordinary Spanish double agent known to his handlers as Garbo. The podcast is introduced by 5 Live Breakfast's Rachel Burden and Nicky Campbell.
