I listened to this a few months ago. As a history podcast it's just ok. He has a habit of exaggerating the importance of the con in the grand scheme of the war. He also comes across as a little naive (for instance, stating unabashedly that Hitler is the most evil human to ever exist. He's definitely in the running for it, but it's certainly a race with competition). He is entertaining, though, and I have a lot of respect for his craft as a magician. That skill does shine through most of the time. It seemed to me that he was going for entertainment/showmanship first, and brutal accuracy second. I was ok with that, and if you're not too picky you will probably enjoy this as well.
Really enjoyed this podcast - his enthusiasm makes for a great story-teller, even if embellishing some of the details at times, he weaves a fantastic narrative.
