The Falklands War - an Argentine account

Witness History - A podcast by BBC World Service

Categories:

In our second programme on the Falklands War, Witness History hears from an Argentine soldier who fought in the conflict. Miguel Savage recalls the atrocious weather conditions faced by Argentine conscripts, as well as their mistreatment by officers. And he remembers a terrifying final attack by British troops shortly before the Argentine surrender. Presented by Simon Watts; original interview conducted in 2012 by Tim Sturtridge.PHOTO: Argentine troops in the Falklands shortly after the invasion (Getty Image)
