The UnXplained with William Shatner is a education/science/factual topics series airing on UK television.
Strange Tales of WWII is a programme presented in an episodic format that brings listeners into the shadowy side of the Second World War. It’s structured as a series of individual episodes, each focusing on a different mysterious thread from that turbulent era. The show’s premise is to shine a light on the obscure and the unexplained, offering a compact yet compelling look at history’s hidden corners. The core of each episode revolves around puzzling stories that have lingered since the war’s end. Topics range from rumours of lost gold hoards that vanished in the chaos, to the whispered existence of secret societies that may have operated behind the front lines, and even to accounts of technology that seemed far ahead of its time. By stitching together these disparate strands, the programme paints a picture of a conflict that was as much about covert intrigue as about open battle. Throughout the series, the narratives are treated as enigmatic accounts that invite speculation without providing definitive answers. Listeners are guided through each tale with a tone that feels both inquisitive and conversational, encouraging them to ponder what might still be concealed beneath the well‑known history of the war. In doing so, the show underscores how much of the wartime experience remains shrouded in mystery, leaving room for ongoing curiosity.
In this episode of Strange Technology, a veteran actor leads the audience on a tour of puzzling artefacts uncovered in locations around the world. He draws attention to the strange designs, unexpected materials and sophisticated construction methods that accompany each find, highlighting how each piece seems out of step with the era in which it supposedly originated. By examining these objects, he argues that the technological capabilities attributed to distant ancestors may have been far more advanced than conventional wisdom allows, effectively challenging everything that scholars have long accepted about ancient engineering and craft. This provocative stance invites viewers to reconsider established narratives and to entertain the possibility that lost knowledge once existed on a global scale.
For centuries, people have been captivated by the challenge of cracking secret codes. In this episode, the host reflects on how untangling the seemingly unbreakable ciphers left by history might provide clues to unresolved puzzles from bygone eras as well as today’s mysteries. The programme suggests that each decoded message could act as a key, unlocking insights that have long eluded scholars and investigators alike. By delving into the art and science of code‑breaking, the series aims to demonstrate that the answers to many lingering questions may already be hidden within the very symbols our ancestors left behind. It highlights the timeless allure of deciphering hidden messages and the potential impact such discoveries could have on our understanding of the world.

They remain a staple of folklore worldwide.
