I listen to this when ever I get a chance. My eldest aged 10 also can't get enough. He was able to correct the teachers understanding when he was doing the very limited teaching of WW2 at school.
Keep up the great work gents. Hopefully if they ever feel they have reached the end of the line, they will pick up WW1!

Keep up the good work chaps..
