During WWII, the US launched a mission to kill Isoroku Yamamoto, the architect of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, which only went so well due to Yamamoto really not caring about his own safety and ignoring constant warnings from his subordinates.

In 1942 the US Pacific campaign wound up creating the circumstances for a tank engagement on a tiny atoll in the middle of the ocean. It was the origin of the expression 'the two-thousand yard stare,' a battle that probably didn't need to happen but still wound up happening, and it involved a lot of carnage amid exactly zero shade. So, of course we were going to talk about it. Lees meer

In this episode, Joe regales Nate and Tom with the story of the Schwerer Gustav, a novelty oversize rail cannon designed to be as big and stupid as possible. It required you to lay down double track anywhere it went, effectively creating the first Fortnite build mode. It looked like the Magitek Factory except real. It did not work very well and was used far less frequently than you'd expect.

For this week's bonus, we're discussing the late-'60s insurgency in South Korea, back at a time when the DMZ was more of a concept than an actual barrier, and the North Korean military trained an elite commando unit to sneak across the border in 1968 with a mission to kill South Korean president Park Chung-Hee. They got... closer than you might think.

A conflict breaks out between a newly independent Mexico and a newly back-to-having-kings France. It culminates in a small series of armed incursions and blockades in 1838-39. Did it start because of an aggrieved French baker? Did Napoleon’s armies advance the science of military optics because their commander wanted to look at feet? In this episode (the first one where Nate has researched, written, and hosted), we get to the bottom of the semi-apocryphal Pastry War.
