  • Inglorious Bastards: William Jones and the S.I.B.

    Inglorious Bastards: William Jones and the S.I.B.
    Oct 25 2024

    In this brilliant, rollercoaster episode, Robert recounts the story of his father, William Jones, during the Second World War and his role as a British military policeman in the Special Investigation Branch (S.I.B.) in Europe after D-Day.

    From interrogating SS officers and arresting black marketeers to gathering military intelligence and going undercover in an Allied POW camp, William's story is like an adventure thriller. Enjoy.
