D-Day has always been one of the most popular topics of World War II. As a result, it’s the smaller battles that occurred later in the campaign that oftentimes get overlooked. As US tank units landed and began moving inland at Utah Beach, they were directed to link up with the paratroopers of the 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions, and begin clearing German units out from the route of advance. On June 7th, Vierville became the focal point of a short but intense battle between the 6th Fallschirmjäger Regiment, A Company of the US 746th Tank Battalion, and the 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment. Joe dissects the fight from the landing and subsequent coalescing of Robert Strayer’s 2/506, it’s link up with the tankers of the 746th, and the fight against Major Frederich von der Heydte’s Fallschirmjägers for the small hamlet of Vierville.

Have you ever just wanted to grab a drink and sit down with a couple of like-minded folks and talk WWII history? Well, grab a pint and tuck in for this show as Joe is joined by old friends Paul Woodadge and Reg Jans as they discuss WWII history, battles, and veterans that they have met and befriended over the years. The only thing missing is the pub’s dartboard, countertop and soggy bar rag, and crackling fire in the fireplace! Enjoy!

Donald Hoobler, Easy Company stalwart, heavily featured in the miniseries Band of Brothers. There’s so much incorrect information out there about how he died. Between Wikipedia, guesswork, and the miniseries, it all contributes to the inaccuracy. Sit down with Joe for a quick hit episode that busts the myths surrounding the death of this extremely popular soldier. From his interviews with Company members, and the written accounts of others, Joe has assembled the most accurate description of the incident that felled one of 1st Platoon’s most reliable soldiers, one who David Webster said of, “He was the only person I ever met that thoroughly enjoyed war.”

During World War II, Elzbieta Zawacka was the only woman to reach London as an emissary of the Polish Home Army command. In Britain, she became the only woman to join the Polish elite Special Forces, known as the "Silent Unseen.” She was secretly trained in the British countryside, and then she was the only female member of these forces to be parachuted back behind enemy lines to Nazi-occupied Poland. There, while being hunted by the Gestapo (who arrested her entire family), she took a leading role in the Warsaw Uprising and the liberation of Poland. Join Joe and acclaimed historian and author Clare Mulley as they discuss the unconventional warrior known as “Agent Zo.”
