About this listen

POV:WW2 is an immersive, action-packed history podcast that brings World War II to life through true, cinematic combat stories from the front lines. Each episode drops you into the middle of the action, using archival research, authentic sound design, and narrative storytelling to make the war feel immediate and visceral. Whether you're a lifelong WW2 history fan or someone who never connected with the Second World War in school, these sound-rich stories reveal the human experience behind the battles — from American soldiers fighting across the European theater to the chaos, courage, and split-second decisions that shaped their survival. For those who love history… and those who think they don’t.Copyright 2025 Fernando J. Prieto Social Sciences World
