The "We're Not Lost, Private" Podcast
Whether you’re interested in learning more about the real Band of Brothers, or exploring the people, places and things associated with a wide range of World War II battles, the “We’re Not Lost, Private” Podcast is the pod for you. We focus on telling the stories of the members of the Greatest Generation who served at the bayonet point and were involved in the battles that helped define the 20th Century and beyond. We’ll talk with historians, authors, battlefield guides and family members of the men and women that were there during one of the most climactic events in human history. Learn what it was like for these service members to take part in a combat parachute assault, an amphibious assault on an enemy held beach, knocking out an enemy strong point, or countless other actions across the breath and width of World War II. The “We’re Not Lost, Private” Podcast puts you right next to them during that action.

EP19 - "We'll start the war from right here!"
Joe examines the link-ups between the "Furious" 4th Infantry Division and the 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions on D-Day. Assault landing echelons, resistance nests, strong points, causeways, and the push inland to locate the paratroopers. The 4th advanced off the beach fairly rapidly and made contact...but where are those small unit accounts of those link-ups? Hopefully this episode will help shed some light on them...
