Battles of a Certain Kind
Gravensteen is a beautiful medieval castle built in 1180 and located in Ghent, Belgium. This historical landmark has been repurposed over the years as a court, mint, prison, and factory. With all of this history, what stands out the most? An event in November of 1949 when 138 students from the University of Ghent stormed the castle to protest a hot topic: the price of beer. During the second part of the episode, we go on a journey told from the source, Aimo Koivunen. Using a translated version of his memoir, we live two weeks during WWII where Aimo escapes the pursuit of the Soviets while overdosing on methamphetamine, a drug commonly used during the war to combat battle fatigue. On this harrowing journey, Aimo manages to out-ski his troop, find himself with no food or weapons, ski through the middle of a Soviet camp, burn down a house, and blow himself up...twice.
