Love, sexuality and the true lives of men at war

Memories of the Second World War are often oversimplified through the lens of politicians. A common thread missed is that of love and sexuality – particularly the experiences of queer men. Kasia Tomasiewicz is joined by Luke Turner, author of the book Men at War: Loving, Lusting, Fighting, Remembering 1939-1945, to discuss the sexual revolution that happened during that period.

• “It’s true the British can’t stop going on about the war. But there is so much left to discover.”
• “Outsiders often have an interesting perspective.”
• “I’d gotten sick of judging the past by the standards of the present.”
• “We still are incredibly repressed about sex in Britain.”
