Royal Marines In Combat | Rick Philips | 8901 Naval Party | Falklands War | Podcast #117

Published: Nov. 6, 2020, 5:40 p.m.

April 2nd, 1982 - the day that the Falklands War erupted. Just sixty Royal Marines stood in the way of an armada of thousands, 8,000 miles from home and with no support. The story that followed was one of a shameful defeat and ignominious surrender. A story which has lasted for 35 years. Now, with first-hand accounts from the Royal Marines themselves, from the Argentine Marines who fought against them, and from the people of Port Stanley who watched the battle rage on their doorsteps, a new history has emerged. It is the story of an epic and heroic defense on a scale with Rorke's Drift; a story neither the British nor the Argentine governments wanted told.
