During WWII, the whole of Britain\\u2019s coastline was involved in the struggle against the Nazis. In 1940-41 invasion was the main threat. Many towns and cities around the coast, such as Plymouth, Portsmouth, Hull and Great Yarmouth, were the targets of devastating air raids. The East Coast was pivotal to North Sea operations against enemy mining and E-boat operations, and the Western ports, particularly Liverpool, were crucial to the vital Atlantic convoys and the defeat of the U-boat threat.

In this episode, I\\u2019m joined once more by the cultural and social historian Neil R Storey to discuss Britain\\u2019s Coast at War, which is also the title of his book Britain\'s Coast at War: Invasion Threat, Coastal Forces, Bombardment and Training for D-Day.
