Based on the popular BBC TV series, Dig WW2 takes an archeological journey through the Allied battle for Europe, unearthing such treasures as a Spitfire buried in a Donegal peat bog and a sealed bunker on a D-Day beach. Delving deeply into these stories, Jean Hood reveals neglected, forgotten, and secretive accounts of Britain’s relationship with “neutral” Ireland and America, the program of “starfish sites,” and the mystery of the launch ramps pointing at London. The result is thoroughly engrossing.
