Always Remember - World War II Through Veterans’ Eyes

History EN ↓ 28 episoder

World War II was a pivotal moment in world history, when not only the survival of the United States was at stake, but of democracy throughout the world. Had the Allies lost WW II, fascism would have engulfed the world even as genocide would have robbed humanity of its diversity. WW II veterans live again through these short podcasts, which like the accompanying book of the same name, tell their incredible stories of valor and sacrifice. Each riveting podcast tells the story of WW II through the eyes of those who fought it. They were called the greatest generation for a reason.
