このコンテンツについて

Miles Mercer unveils the critical but often overlooked role of railways in warfare, beginning with their strategic importance during the American Civil War. The episode examines how European powers incorporated railways into military planning, and how railway mobilization schedules tragically accelerated the outbreak of World War I. Listeners will learn about the massive logistical operations enabled by railways during both World Wars, including troop transports, supply lines, and evacuations. The narrative doesn't shy away from the Holocaust's dependence on railway logistics, while also highlighting acts of resistance by railway workers across occupied territories. From armored trains to railway artillery, the episode explores technological adaptations for warfare before concluding with reflections on how civilian infrastructure can serve both humanitarian and destructive purposes—a duality that continues to challenge our understanding of technology's role in human affairs.
