Drying and shelling of beans?

I have had a glut of broad beans so after eating a few, and having no room in freezer.I am drying some on the windowsill on kitchen roll. I personally like broad beans fresh and I eat the whole bean. Others in the family prefer to take outer 'husk' off the beans (Helen liked them that way as well) It's such a chew on to do and I prefer them as they come out the pod.
Following on from this, when they are fully dried and wrinkled I presume I just soak them overnight before cooking? If this is the case will they still have a husk once cooked?
