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.

EP40 - "Bloody Valentine's Day" - The Battle for Sidi Bou Zid: Setting the Stage for the Debacle at Kasserine
Kasserine Pass. The fighting for that geographic novelty has an almost mystical aura around it as it was the US Army’s first large-scale battle against the Germans in North Africa. And they fared poorly. But did you know about the smaller, yet no less important battle for Sidi Bou Zid? It essentially set the stage for Kasserine, and those two battlefield setbacks would result in the firing of a US corps commander, and herald the arrival of General George S. Patton to II Corps. Continuing our chronicling of the United States early actions in Western Europe and North Africa, the story of the Battle for Sidi Bou Zid is coming to The “We’re Not Lost, Private” Podcast!
