Episode description

CONTENT

The guest today is Kim Read a former member of the "stay behind" Special OP Troop. This unit was tasked with conducting operations against the Soviet Army if they had crossed the inner German border during the Cold War when they would engage the enemy with the long range guns of the British Army. We covered a bit about the school on pod #005 but a few listeners have requested more detail. So here it is.
