About this listen

In this episode ofThe History In Motion Podcast, we delve into one of World War II’s most dramatic moments: the Battle of the Bulge. Amid the frozen Ardennes, a surprise German offensive tested the Allies at a pivotal point in the war. At the heart of this saga is Brigadier General Anthony “Tony” McAuliffe of the 101st Airborne Division, whose legendary “Nuts!” became a timeless symbol of defiance under siege in Bastogne.

We are joined in this episode by Robert B. O'Connor who's newest booked Jeep Show A Trouper at the Battle of the Bulge is a captivating account of how makeshift entertainment reached troops in dire conditions, helping sustain morale when warmth and supplies were scarce. Join us as we explore strategic maneuvers, stories of courage, and the uplifting power of a little laughter in the midst of conflict.
