For both Britain and Germany, the two world wars saw hundreds of thousands of casualties. But what happened to the bodies of those who died on enemy territory? And what impact did this have on their bereaved relatives and their nation's memory of the war?

Speaking to Emily Briffitt, Tim Grady, author of Burying the Enemy, explores how both nations cared for their fallen foe during and after the First and Second World Wars. We're here today to talk all about your new book, Burying the Enemy. Thousands of British and German servicemen died on enemy soil during the two world wars. What were the greatest causes of this and how did this differ between the First and Second World War? That's a great question, yeah.
