Iceland had a rather comfortable war, being occupied by the British and later Americans.

Yet, it was a time that changed everything, the beginning of modernity and Iceland emerged from the war as one of the richest countries in the world. But what if the Nazis had come instead?

Valur and Jón explore what did happen and what could have.

Hosted by historians and The Reykjavík Grapevine founders Valur Gunnarsson and Jón Trausti Sigurðarson
