BONE-US EP78 - The Morale Corps with Robert B O'Connor

  • Summary

  • In HILF EP78, you got to know the Jeep Show, a real-life WW2 unit of enlisted soldiers (including Mickey Rooney) who were on the front lines with nothing but an accordion, a Jeep full of wigs, and ORDERS to boost morale.

    Continue the conversation with Dawn and author Robert B. O’Connor who wrote Jeep Show: A Trouper at the Battle of the Bulge.

    See video of the real Electro - The Westinghouse Robot that captured Robert's heart.
