Show Notes

Gliders played a large role in the Normandy Invasion of 1944 and throughout the European Theater of War. In this episode, we look into a series of stories from members of the 325th Glider Infantry Regiment. After more examination, this little-discussed unit of the war was involved in most of the largest engagements in Europe, including Italy, D-Day, Market Garden, and the Battle of the Bulge.
