Episode #57 - General Anthony "Nuts" McAuliffe - The Siege of Bastogne & Morale of the Common Solider

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.
