World War II was a pivotal moment in world history, when not only the survival of the United States was at stake, but of democracy throughout the world. Had the Allies lost WW II, fascism would have engulfed the world even as genocide would have robbed humanity of its diversity. WW II veterans live again through these short podcasts, which like the accompanying book of the same name, tell their incredible stories of valor and sacrifice. Each riveting podcast tells the story of WW II through the eyes of those who fought it. They were called the greatest generation for a reason.

Ep 23 Part One: Jim Dorris - A Light in the Darkness of WW 2
Jim Dorris displayed an equal measure of courage and compassion in WW 2. His deep Catholic faith provided him with a moral compass that guided him through combat at the Battle of the Bulge, Ingolsheim, Wurzburg, Schweinfurt, and Furth. He was a true light in the darkness of WW 2 resisting senseless cruelty whenever he saw it regardless of which side – be it the Nazis or the US GIs – who committed it. Nearly six months of combat wasn’t enough to prepare Dorris for the hell he witnessed when he walked through the gates of Dachau concentration camp to liberate it. Still, his deep faith guided him even there, and enabled him to find a sign of God’s love in the darkest of places. I am thrilled that Jim’s son and my good friend, Stephen Dorris, is joining us for these two episodes. Stephen will give voice to all of Jim Dorris’s quotes in both episodes.
