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.

EP49 – Last Stop Before Destiny, The 101st Airborne Division in England, 1943-44 w/Matthew Pellett
The 101st Airborne left behind a legacy with their service in World War II and their actions gained them a fame that has continued to this day. Much attention has been focused on their storied combat actions like Normandy and Bastogne, while their time spent in England in 1943/44 is less well known. Through a wealth of sources, testimonies and period photographs, Matthew Pellett has brought that lesser-known period in the Division’s history to the fore. Join Joe and Matthew as they discuss that year of rich history of the 101st Airborne and shed light on the Division’s activities in ‘Ole Blighty’ prior to D-Day.
