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.

EP26 - The Real Story of Operation Pegasus w/Jo Hook & Edwin Popken
Just a cracking episode. Two hours of all things Operation Pegasus (and a bunch of stuff that isn't!)...just a tour-de-force...everything you ever wanted to know about the rescue of the Red Devils that was featured in Band of Brothers Episode 5 "Crossroads," all in one place.
It was more complex than shown in the miniseries. So many moving pieces, and so many times it could have gone pear-shaped. But through dedication and perseverance, the Allies made it work. This episode looks at this amazing rescue from every possible angle and goes over the roles of all the key participants right up to, and through the rescue and its aftermath. Join us to find out all of it!
