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.

EP60 - Honor Besmirched – British Coxswains at Omaha
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
The second show in our Lore of the Battlefield series, Episode 60 focuses on a story that has been floating around since 1960. Not one, but two well-respected historians perpetuated the myth, one that spoke poorly of our Allied sailors. The second historian was even called out by a veteran who survived the landings on Omaha. Stop by to find out what SLAM Marshall and Stephen Ambrose wrote about the British coxswains who landed the 116th Infantry Regiment on D-Day, and why it took Bob Sales, the only surviving member of his boat team, to make a public statement in their defense.
