À propos de cet audio

 The story of General Montgomery's appointment to command the British 8th Army in Egypt is well know. But, the political and military twists & turns that brought about that appointment are not so well known. In this podcast, we reveal the truth about what really happened. It also includes a re-voicing on his speech on arrival, a speech that influenced much of the narrative of the Desert Campaign during the Second World War.Copyright 2025 Nick Llewellyn

    Brought to you by Great Stories from the Past, this is the story behind General Bernard Montgomery's appointment as the commander of the British 8th Army in Egypt in August 1942.

    We go behind the scenes to reveal how he was chosen as the new commander. We follow his arrival in Egypt and the decisions he immediately made. This podcast includes the entire speech that he gave to troops on his arrival which was based upon the information provided to him by the 8th Army's Chief-of-Staff during a car journey from Alexandria to the Alamein front line. This speech has been recorded by a voice actor as there was never a recording of his original speech.

    This speech is fascinating because it became responsible for much of the narrative and understanding of the desert campaign during the Second World War
