The 761st Tank Battalion, known as the Black Panthers, was a segregated unit created during World War 2. Regardless of the fact that African Americans had participated in every major conflict dating back to before the United States even existed, a report from the War College labeled African Americans as "not fit for service" in World War 2. The 761st was created and kept stateside until the need for more tanks was too great. The Black Panthers would accompany Gen. Patton's 3rd Army as they fought the retreating Germans. They helped during Bastogne, broke through the Seigfried Line, and even liberated a concentration camp. The hope of returning to a more accepting United States wouldn't match the reality as the 761st would return to no acclaim. Their fight for equal recognition is still going on to this day. Join us as we get Historically High on the 761st Tank Battalion. Support the show
“Jeep Show; A Trouper at the Battle of the Bulge” is a fictional work by author Robert B. O'Connor that sheds light on a unique and little know effort during World War II. Military Occupational Specialist Code 442 was assigned to some names you may recognize; Mickey Rooney, Sammy Davis Jr, Mel Brooks and Red Buttons. They were part of a special morale initiative to provide entertainment to troops on the front lines in areas deemed too dangerous for USO tours. Jeep Show units consisted of 3 soldiers who would provide the equivalent of a traveling vaudeville show. Because front line troops were constantly on the move, these contingents would conduct several performances a day. Robert B. O'Connor first became aware of this unique program when he was an executive with Proctor & Gamble. He was researching a failed marketing scheme led by Jim Hetzer called “The Oxydol Circus.” Hetzer's family informed O'Connor that their father was involved with Jeep Shows during WWII. Hezter would become the basis for the fictional main character in O'Connor's novel. Interestingly, he chose to also place the REAL Mickey Rooney in the novel. We spend some time discussing Rooney's career and his possible motivation for volunteering during World War II. Rooney was awarded a Bronze Star for his role with the Jeep Shows. O'Connor chose to involve his main character in the Battle of Bulge, not only because it was a significant part of the war in Europe but also because it highlighted the often unrecognized role of “Team SNAFU” during that clash. Team SNAFU described the role of traditionally non-combat personnel like clerks, supply and medical personnel who were forced to take up arms in the protection of Bastogne. Jeep Show is a delightful and compelling novel that puts readers right on the front lines and introduces us to the often unheralded contributions of support troops like those who carried the 442 MOS.
Le 16 décembre 1944, les Allemands passent à l'offensive dans les Ardennes. Le choc est terrible pour les Alliés, qui ne s'attendaient pas à un assaut d'une telle ampleur de la part d'une armée qu'ils pensaient aux abois.

Un día después del ataque alemán, Patton respondió a Eisenhower que en 48 horas podía haber pivotado su Tercer Ejército y ponerlo en dirección al flanco sur del avance alemán. De hecho, ya había movido sus piezas, y mandó elaborar a su EM tres planes de acción para mover inmediatamente a un cuerpo hacia el Norte. Cuando Eisenhower le preguntó cuánto tiempo le llevaría ponerse en marcha, el movimiento ya estaba en marcha dirección a Bastogne.

En lo más terrible de la batalla de Bastogne, la enfermera belga Augusta Marie trabajó incansablemente, bajo el bombardeo enemigo, y con medios poco apropiados, atendiendo a los numerosos soldados estadounidenses que acudían al servicio médico improvisado. Su experiencia fue terrible y traumática, y no le gustaba hablar del horror que había visto. La racista sociedad belga de la época olvidó rápidamente a la mestiza belga-angoleña hija de un veterinario del propio Bastogne, y no fue hasta que un historiador británico, Martin King, descubrió su historia por los testimonios de varios de sus pacientes en el invierno del 44. Así que fue a visitarla, y recopiló su historia, haciéndola por fin visible. Te cuenta su historia Julio Caronte. Casus Belli Podcast pertenece a 🏭 Factoría Casus Belli.

Herman vertelt hoe hij zijn dienstplicht succesvol wist te ontwijken en welke invloed zijn opvoeding en de tijdsgeest daarbij hadden. Hij deelt ook inzichten uit zijn boek over de veranderende rol van defensie in Nederland.Over Legergroene Herinneringen‘Ik ging met tegenzin, maar heb de tijd van mijn leven gehad', ‘De kameraadschap die je bij defensie hebt, is uniek', ‘Je kan meer dan je denkt' en ‘Leidinggeven doe ik nog steeds volgens de dingen die ik heb geleerd via de instructiekaart'. Het is maar een kleine greep uit de persoonlijke verhalen van de dienstplichtigen die geïnterviewd zijn voor de podcastserie Legergroene Herinneringen.In die podcast belichten we niet alleen de geschiedenis van de dienstplicht maar besteden we vooral aandacht aan de persoonlijke verhalen van de dienstplichtigen.Transcriptie:00:00:25 - 00:00:26Interviewer: Hallo allemaal en welkom bij Legergroene-Herinnering. In deze podcast gaan we de komende weken in gesprek met oud dienstplichtigen over hun diensttijd. De hoogtepunten, maar ook de dieptepunten en hun levenslessen die uit deze tijd stammen, worden hier aan het licht gebracht. Ik ga vanmiddag in gesprek met iemand die erg goed zijn best heeft gedaan om de dienstplicht te ontwijken en het is hem ook nog eens gelukt. Hij heeft er zelfs een boek over geschreven. Goedemiddag, Herman.00:00:26 - 00:00:26Herman: Goedemiddag.00:00:26 - 00:00:42Interviewer: Wat leuk dat u er bent, dat je er bent, daar ga ik al. Hoe ging dat? Hoe begon dat? Want waarschijnlijk was er in uw vriendenkring al veel gaande over de dienstplicht. Jongere en oudere vrienden die gingen.00:00:43 - 00:01:34Herman: Het begon al eerder, namelijk thuis. Mijn opvoeding was doortrokken van, niet van antimilitarisme, maar alles wat met het militaire te maken had, was een vreemde wereld. Wij woonden in het Gooi aan een straat waar heel veel militair verkeer was. In de buurt was de Kolonel Palmkazerne, die bestaat niet meer, maar dat was toen een kazerne en heel vaak kwamen er hele colonnes militaire voertuigen langs, echt heel vaak, dat hoorde bijna bij het straatbeeld. Ik kan me niet herinneren dat er ooit een woord is gesproken over wat dat was, waar dat voor was, waar het voor diende, dus ook niet dat we ertegen waren. Maar het was niet ons pakkie-an, in de meest uitgebreide zin. Dus mijn ouders waren allebei sociaal-democraten en hadden elkaar ontmoet in de Arbeiders Jeugd Centrale.00:01:34 - 00:02:25Herman: Dat was de jongerenafdeling van de voorloper van de Partij van de Arbeid, de SDAP. Mijn ouders zijn allebei geboren in 1913, zij groeide op na de Eerste Wereldoorlog en dat was de tijd van het gebroken geweertje. Dan was je dus tegen het leger, want de Eerste Wereldoorlog was natuurlijk de meest afschuwelijke zinloze oorlog. Waar ging het over? Het ging nergens over. Dus dat was: dit nooit meer! Dan zat je in die socialistische beweging waar mijn ouders in zaten en dan had je een zo'n speldje op je revers met een gebroken geweertje, je dus tegen het leger, tegen de dienstplicht. Dus dat was mijn opvoeding. In mijn familie is ook één neef van mij in dienst geweest, twee moet ik zeggen, maar verder niemand. Mijn broers ook niet, niemand. Men ging gewoon niet in dienst. Waarom niet? Werd niet over gepraat.00:02:25 - 00:02:52Herman: Ik studeerde sociologie in Amsterdam en wat jij net vroeg, in mijn vrienden kenniskring, inderdaad, het was not done. Daar was natuurlijk wel een soort beetje anti, linksere studentenclubjes wat je toen had en net als nu natuurlijk. Het was in de jaren 60 dat ik studeerde, dus alles wat met hiërarchie, gezag en gehoorzaamheid en zo te maken had, dat was foute boel.00:02:52 - 00:02:57Interviewer: Werd er dan ook echt anders naar je gekeken als je de dienstplicht inging zonder er tegenin te gaan?00:02:57 - 00:02:59Herman: Dat weet ik niet, want dat deed niemand in mijn omgeving.00:02:59 - 00:03:00Interviewer: O, dat deed niemand.00:03:00 - 00:03:21Herman: Ik kende nauwelijks mensen die in dienst zijn geweest. Ik heb nu wel, toen ik dit boek ging schrijven, ben ik natuurlijk in mijn kenniskring gaan vragen aan iedereen van mijn leeftijd en zo en wat jonger: hoe heb jij dat gedaan? En toen hoorde ik dus van verschillende mensen dat ze in dienst waren geweest, maar dat wist ik niet. Dat hadden ze nooit verteld. Dat vonden ze een beetje gênant inderdaad.00:03:21 - 00:03:22Interviewer: En dat had daar ook mee te maken?00:03:22 - 00:03:23Herman: Ja, dat had er wel mee te maken.00:03:24 - 00:03:28Interviewer: Wel bijzonder dat het eigenlijk als raar gezien werd.00:03:29 - 00:04:40Herman: Achteraf is dat heel bijzonder, inderdaad. Maar het was toen normaal in deze kringen. Nu is het natuurlijk een hele discussie of nu die links [onhoorbaar 00:03:41] studentenkringen waar ik toen in verkeerde, een uitzondering waren, of deze een beetje gereserveerde houding ten opzichte van het leger, een karaktertrek is van de Nederlandse cultuur. Daar is een heel debat over wat al heel lang gevoerd wordt, waar niemand het zekere antwoord op weet. Ik ga er in mijn boeken uitgebreid op in, maar ik kom daar ook niet helemaal uit. Dus het is wel zo dat wij niet een militaristische traditie hebben, zoals bijvoorbeeld in Frankrijk, Engeland of Duitsland. Maar het is ook niet zo dat wij altijd zo antimilitair zijn geweest als veel jongelui in de jaren 60. Want tot de Tweede Wereldoorlog was Nederland ook een land met paramilitaire parades, met helden verering en met nationalistische symbolen. Dus het is niet zo dat de Nederlandse traditie per definitie antimilitair was.00:04:41 - 00:04:52Interviewer: Die visie van raar opkijken als iemand de dienst in zou gaan, veranderde die op een gegeven moment ook nadat de Tweede Wereldoorlog begon?00:04:53 - 00:05:37Herman: Dat weet ik niet, want waar ik het over heb, die visie van 'niet het leger ingaan', dat was in de jaren 60 van de vorige eeuw, dus na de Tweede Wereldoorlog. Het is wel opmerkelijk dat wij en mijn generatie, geboren kort naar de oorlog, de geboortegolf, die begon in 1946, kort na de oorlog. Wij waren net bevrijd en zoals ik zei: mijn vader was Joods. Zonder militaire operaties had ik hier niet gezeten, was mijn vader vermoord. Dus je zou zeggen: dan zou in zo'n opvoeding of in zo'n cultuur een positieve houding bestaan tegenover het militaire.00:05:37 - 00:05:41Interviewer: Kreeg jij dat dan ook mee vanuit jouw ouders, met jouw vader?00:05:41 - 00:06:36Herman: Nee, en dat is dus heel dubbelzinnig en heel gek. Wat ik net vertelde, in mijn opvoeding was het militaire eigenlijk afwezig, maar er waren wel kleine aanwijzingen van een tegengestelde gezindheid. Wij gingen bijvoorbeeld op vakantie in Zuid-Limburg met de familie, met het gezin, en dan gingen we wandelen, leuke dingen doen, maar ook altijd naar Margraten. Margraten is een heel groot geallieerde begraafplaats in Zuid-Limburg, waar dus al die jongens liggen die in 1944, 1945 gesneuveld zijn. Daar moesten we heen, mijn vader stond erop dat wij onze vakantie onderbraken om daar naartoe te gaan. Ik kan daar ook nog steeds niet in de buurt komen zonder ook zelf daarheen te gaan. Als we tijd hadden, dan gingen we nog wat verder, dan gingen we naar Bastogne. Dat is Bastenaken in het Vlaams.00:06:36 - 00:07:22Herman: Dat is net ten zuiden van Margraten in België. Daar heeft in 1944 een kleine groep Amerikanen heldhaftig stand gehouden tegen de laatste Duitse poging om de oorlog te winnen, The Battle of the Bulge, Ardennenoffensief. Daar was een Amerikaanse generaal McAuliffe. Op een gegeven moment eisten die moffen, zij hadden dus die lui omsingeld, dat ze zich zouden overgeven, die Amerikanen. Er kwam een onderhandelaar met een witte vlag, om te onderhandelen over overgave. McAuliffe's antwoord was: 'nuts'. En 'nuts' betekent: sodemieter op.00:07:22 - 00:07:23Interviewer: Je bent gek geworden!00:07:23 - 00:07:57Herman: Ja, zoiets als die daar in Oekraïne: 'fuck off' tegen dat Russisch oorlogsschip. Zo'n soort reactie was dat. Die Duitse soldaat snapte dat ook niet, dus ze moesten hem uitleggen wat het was. Dat vertelde mijn vader dan daar in Bastogne, zijn ogen twinkelde dan van enthousiasme bij dit verhaal. Dus dat was het militaire wat wel door mijn vader werd vereerd eigenlijk, maar de consequentie: wij moeten ook zelf in dienst en zelf vechten voor de vrijheid, die werd niet getrokken.00:07:58 - 00:08:00Interviewer: Die link is daar dan nooit echt naar gelegd.00:08:01 - 00:08:39Herman: Nee, het is gek, door de dubbelzinnigheid die ik nu vertel bij mijn vader, die bestond bij mij eigenlijk ook. Want ik deel natuurlijk de dankbaarheid jegens de Amerikanen en de jongens die toen gevochten en gesneuveld zijn. Ik heb daar toen niet... Ik deed ook mij aan: weg met de Yankees en Johnson moordenaar, weet je wel, de Vietnamoorlog. Dus die dankbaarheid jegens de Amerikanen, waar alle reden voor was, zeg ik nu, maar dat nam ik toen ook: die Yankees waren niet oké, die waren de lelijke kapitalisten en die deden lelijke dingen in Zuid-Amerika en zo. Dat is allemaal veranderd nu.00:08:39 - 00:08:45Interviewer: Je hebt het over dankbaarheid en dat dubbele gevoel bij de dienst?00:08:45 - 00:08:45Herman: Ja.00:08:47 - 00:08:54Interviewer: Waarom heeft dan de ene kant gewonnen van de ander en heb je besloten om de dienstplicht te ontwijken?00:08:56 -...
Few history buffs are aware of the existence of enlisted entertainers (MOS 442) or TEAM SNAFU. Bob O'Connor's novel Jeep Show follows the life of Jim Tanzer as he follows front line combat infantry to the border of Germany and puts on a last-minute Christmas show for the service members and civilians trapped in Bastogne on Christmas Day 1944. Jeep Show reflects extensive research on wartime culture, soldier sland, and daily life in the army for enlisted men, as well as the Battle of the Bulge and the defense of Bastogne which occurred 80 years ago as the Germans mounted their last ghreat offensive puch against the Allies.

Tal vez no fue el más determinante, ni el último clavo del ataúd de la operación alemana, ni el asedio más prolongado de la Ofensiva de las Ardenas... pero sí el más representativo por la multitud de acciones ofensivas y defensivas, salpicadas de un toque de epicidad. Bastogne quedó en el centro de la ofensiva de la pinza Sur, y era un nudo de carreteras lo suficientemente importante para no tomarlo o defenderlo, y durante unos cruciales días la sangre corrió por los dos bandos, con asaltos desesperados y resistencias al límite hasta que el cerco se pudo romper. Te lo cuentan Antonio Gómez y Dani CarAn. 🔗 Enlaces para Listas de Episodios Exclusivos para 💥 FANS 👉 CB FANS 💥 https://bit.ly/CBPListCBFans 👉 Histórico 📂 FANS Antes de la 2GM https://bit.ly/CBPListHis1 👉 Histórico 📂 FANS 2ª Guerra Mundial https://bit.ly/CBPListHis2 👉 Histórico 📂 FANS Guerra Fría https://bit.ly/CBPListHis3 👉 Histórico 📂 FANS Después de la G Fría https://bit.ly/CBPListHis4 Casus Belli Podcast pertenece a 🏭 Factoría Casus Belli.

Jack Moran joined us nearly two years ago to discuss his extensive combat as an infantryman in Europe during World War II. Today, he returns for another conversation as we hear new details about his service at the Battle of the Bulge and the Saar Valley, plus crossing the Siegfried Line and the Rhine River.In this edition of Veterans Chronicles, Moran tells us about the deadly frustration of facing German Tiger Tanks, which inflicted devastation from Moran's very first moments in battle. He explains why the Tiger Tanks were so effective and why they were hard to counter.Moran also takes us to the Battle of the Bulge, focusing on the six days that he and his platoon were surrounded by Germans in a very small area with no new supplies coming in and the brutally cold temperatures making simple survival a challenge. He tells us how they held off the Germans and how they eventually escaped.He also tells us about the deadly impact of German snipers as the Americans prepared to cross the Rhine.
In December 1944 World War 2 in Europe was at a tipping point. It just so happened the way it was leaning was for the Allies. The Eastern front saw the Russians forcing the Nazis out of Poland and advancing toward the Fatherland itself. In the west the combined Anglo-American forces of the USA, Great Britain, Canada and others had broken out from Normandy, liberated Paris and a good chunk of northern France. The advance from the west was slowed by supply issues when the troops in front started to outrun their supply lines. Hitler decided in his meth'd up mind that all it would take was one big swing and hit to stagger the Allies and bring them to the table for a negotiated armistice at which point he could turn all his attention back to Stalin. That big swing was called Operation Watch on the Rhine, or the Ardennes Offensive or to most The Battle of the Bulge. Unfortunately for the allies, the area ol Adolf was gonna send his mass of soldiers and tanks through just happened to be the spot the allies thought unlikely. So much so in fact this was the place they pulled battle weary units and green replacement troops to rest and acclimate to their new units. What occurred over the next few weeks would come to be the shining moment for the United States forces in Europe during the war.

In this episode, I'm joined by acclaimed historian and bestselling author Alex Kershaw to explore one of the most pivotal moments of the Second World War: the Battle of the Bulge. This December marks the 80th anniversary of the battle, a critical turning point where General George S. Patton's bold leadership and daring actions—most famously the dramatic relief of Bastogne—helped shift the tide in favour of the Allies. Alex joins me to share fascinating insights from his latest book, Patton's Prayer, a powerful exploration of the faith, determination, and sheer grit that defined one of America's most legendary generals. patreon.com/ww2podcast

On the morning of 16th December 1944 , German artillery opened up a massive barrage before Tiger tanks, supported by infantry, began their attack across the front line and into Allied territory. In freezing conditions, US troops struggled to contain the advance, and soon a large bulge in the American defensive line emerged. In this first of a two part special on the Battle of the Bulge, Gordon Corrigan and Philip Blood join to discuss the last major battle of the Western Front as they chat freezing conditions, the bigger picture, German and US soldiers, Bastogne and nuts.

Every year, Christmas carols promise joy and magic. But for many people, they're just soundtracks to the silent screams of stress. Today, we're turning those festive tunes into a real survival guide to take you from bah humbug to fa la la la la la la la la. And it's gonna be fun. I'm Dr.Vickie Petz Kasper. I'll give you practical steps to start your own journey toward better health because healthy looks great on you. Have yourself a merry little Christmas. You may be thinking, yeah right. There's shopping, and eating, and staying up late, and people. People. Though connection is crucial, some people clearly belong on Santa's naughty list. And they get seated right next to you at the dinner party. Today, I'm going to give you a survival guide that will help you have a holly jolly Christmas this year. Because, even when you're singing Joy to the World, all that rockin around the Christmas tree can turn into a big crash. And I'm not talking about Grandma getting run over by a reindeer. You know, that song is pretty disturbing if you think about it. And while you might not be worried about a collision with a four legged beast with antlers, you probably can make a list of things that bring stress instead of comfort and joy. Let's start with those weeks leading up to the holidays. I started decorating the day after Thanksgiving singing to myself, It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas. When I put it back in the attic, I'll sing, It's beginning to look a knot like Christmas. I know, I know, my kids would say, I just set off the corn o meter. Ding, ding, ding, ding. But let's face it, decorating and planning sets us up for festive fatigue right at the outset of the season. Yes, of course, it's the most wonderful time of the year and How's that working to set unrealistic expectations? What happens if the illusion of everyone else having a blast only magnifies what you're really feeling? It's a setup for disappointment. Like a kid who asked for a trampoline and got a history book for Christmas. And speaking of Santa Claus coming to town, there's some pressure. Gotta be good, or you'll get a lump of coal in your stocking. Do you hear what I hear? Sometimes we hear sleigh bells ring ring ringing and jing jing jinging, but sometimes we hear snippy comments and conflict, all because I'll be home for Christmas. Which may involve travel, and frankly, being around people you don't particularly like. Being pulled in so many directions you feel like a gingerbread man about to break apart. If you missed the episode on navigating connections during the holidays, I really want you to meet my fictional Aunt Edna. She's a hoot. Now, if you're like me, this year we've been dashing through the snow. Actually, it's been so warm we've rarely even worn a coat, and we don't have a one horse open sleigh, but we do have a golf cart. But literally, my social calendar has been as full as Santa's pack when he leaves the workshop. I'm an extrovert, so I love it. But, as a result, my sleep is off, I've gained three pounds from eating Christmas crack, and no, I am not going to share that recipe, and it's not a whole food, and it's not plant based, and Jingle Bell Rock, it needs to happen at the gym, but honestly, I feel like I need to sleep in. This month is halfway over and there are only a few days left to finish my shopping. And silver bells sound like, Cha ching! Cha ching! Whether you're braving crowds or surfing the internet to find the perfect gift for all the people in your family. Your credit card is asking for at least one silent night. And maybe you're dreaming of a white Christmas, longing for days gone by when your stocking was full of walnuts and oranges. Things were simpler then. Nostalgia is sweet, but let's face it, our minds tend to idealize the past and sometimes what we really need to do is let go and embrace the present. And speaking of presents, whether all you want for Christmas is your two front teeth or peace on earth, managing holiday stress is important. Now, you've already been to mini medical school and you know that stress causes increased cortisol levels, compromises your immune system, causes upset stomach, and disrupts your sleep. And that's just the physical stuff. Anxiety and depression symptoms increase, and the Polar Express brings emotional exhaustion with brain fog pumping out the smokestack. If you missed the class on how stress increases your risk for cardiovascular disease and pretty much everything that you wouldn't wish for, there's a link in the show notes. But if you're navigating complex family relationships, trying to avoid conflict and triggers, or Feeling social pressure to attend all the parties, or if you're feeling left out by all the perfect celebrations on social media, or you have FOMO and you always say yes, plus you have to get up and go to work the next day, or if you're feeling the financial strain of too much shopping, this is the episode for you. Since this is a lifestyle medicine podcast, let's take a quick peek into the packages and see what lifestyle factors contribute to more holiday stress. Unhealthy coping mechanisms. Overindulgence in alcohol and unprocessed food, especially sugar, which increases inflammation and maybe just maybe that's why your joints are hurting more. Comfort eating. Don't be like Santa and feel obligated to eat the cookies just because they're on a plate in front of you. Avoiding exercise because you were up too late wrapping presents or watching Hallmark movies. And you know what that holiday mythology about perfect holidays can do? Set up unrealistic expectations. The comparison trap is like the Grinch stealing the Christmas tree and comparison is the ultimate thief of joy. Irregular sleep patterns because you're reviewing your grocery list or your shopping list instead of dreaming of sugar plums dancing in your head. By the way, if you want to learn more about how to turn off your mind and turn on restorative sleep, then I have a free cheat sheet for you. There's a link in the show notes. Another thing is poor boundary setting. Some people just have difficulty saying no, so they overcommit. They're the people pleasers. Any of that sound familiar to you? Well, here's your holiday survival guide. We're going to look at practical tips to keep you from turning into Scrooge. Let's start with bills. No, not bells, bills. You know, electric bills, and mortgage payments, and gas, and groceries. I just want to remind you, those bills aren't going to take a holiday break, so Obviously, you don't want to spend money that you need. And let me tell you a story. One year before Christmas, I asked my kids to name their top three favorite gifts from the previous Christmas. Try it. See what kind of answers you get. Most of the time, they can't even name one. Unless we spend it on an experience, rather than a tangible gift. And I highly recommend that, but listen, experiences can be expensive. So, survival tip number one is, it helps to have a holiday spending budget. You need an emotional budget too, but we'll get to that in a bit. First, finances. There are budgeting apps you can use, you can put those on your phone. You might think about dividing your spending into categories and setting limits for each. And when it comes to gifts, remember, three was enough for Jesus, it's enough for your little one too. Or, if you want to splurge, use the four gift rule. Something they want, something they need, something to wear, and something to read. Let me give you some advice about a common mistake. Do you think that you have to spend the same amount on everyone? Listen, this is a never ending merry go round of trying to even it up. And I hope my kids are secure enough in our relationship to know that if I spend more on one than the other, it's not a reflection of anything except that I only bought what I thought they really wanted. And what about family gifts? You know how everyone money launders gift cards for all those teenage boys in your family? It's kind of silly and we quit doing it years ago. No gifts for anyone except immediate family and that has made the holiday season so much more enjoyable. We play games instead of exchanging gifts. But if you think you can't give it up completely, try some homemade gifts, like a scrapbook, homemade jelly, or if you're handy with a hammer, maybe a birdhouse. It's so much more meaningful. And it won't be forgotten by next year. Or maybe do a Santa gift exchange with a reasonable spending limit. Or if you really like each other, plan an experience together. And if you need a small gift, you might want to buy my book, Dressing the Wound, Give Yourself the Gift of Forgiveness. It's a short book I wrote, and it's available on Amazon for about 5. There's a link in the show notes. Another idea is to donate to charity in someone's name. Yes, it still costs money, but it takes the pressure off of searching for something for hours, spending money, and then wondering if they're even going to like it. You could also give the gift of yourself and services. Offer to babysit or cook a meal. Now, it's a little late for this strategy, but it might help to start early and spread out your expenses over the year. Hey, you could even start right after Christmas this year and hit the sales for next year. One thing you need to watch for. Sometimes you buy a little along the way and then you forget, so you buy more. So keep track of it. And there are ways to save money. Often, if you're shopping online, you can get discounts for signing up for their email list. Speaking of email list, are you on mine? If not, sign up and you'll get a discount on the next podcast episode. Just kidding. The podcast is free for you, but I do have lots of bonuses for subscribers. Cashback programs. I use Rakuten. You can earn points by using a credit card and set it so that you pay it off automatically at the end of each month or you might end up spending more in interest and it's a good way to get in over your head quickly. Practice saying no to unnecessary spending and focus on meaningful connections over material gifts. But listen, give. There are so many people struggling to make Christmas happen for their kids and there are elderly people in nursing facilities who are in need. Christmas is a time to give a year end gift to missions, your church, or a charitable organization. It is truly more blessed to give than receive. And in addition to a financial plan and budget, you need to manage your physical, mental, and emotional energy too. And part of that involves navigating relationships and communication. Can I just be honest for a sec? I totally failed at this one this week. So, this advice, it's for me. But, I suspect you could use it too. Tip number two for your holiday stress guide is set expectations. You know, blessed are those who expect nothing because they're never disappointed. Okay Eeyore, let's just be realistic. We all have expectations and they can lead to more conflict. The goal is to set realistic expectations and to clearly communicate those expectations. In advance. This requires a conversation. You can do it on the phone, in person, or you might even try an email thread or a family group text to have a discussion in advance about expectations, limitations, and boundaries. This needs to be non confrontational and the language should be neutral and collaborative. Man, I wish I would have had this guide earlier this week. After your better than I did discussion, send a follow up gentle reminder message outlining the plans you agreed on. Provide context for your decisions and offer alternatives when possible. And once you've set realistic expectations, It's time to establish boundaries. Be clear and be kind. Use I statements and explain your personal needs without blaming someone else. Remember, this isn't a wish list for Santa's elves. This is trying to connect with the people you love. So provide rationale for your boundaries and again, offer compromise where appropriate. None of this is a guarantee there won't be conflict. So let's look at some conflict resolution strategies. Active listening techniques go a long way. When you're listening, you need to look like you're listening, and you need to act like you're listening. This is super important. Tip number three is communicate. Probably most of us have finished all of our Santa shopping only to hear our little darling declare that their most wanted Christmas wish wasn't even on our radar. The problem with communication is making the mistake of thinking that it actually happened. Learn to listen. It helps to reflect, repeat back what you've heard, ask clarifying questions, show genuine interest and validate other people's feelings with phrases like, I understand why this is important to you, I can see why you might feel that way, and your feelings are valid. Emotional intelligence comes into play, but everyone's not playing on the same field. So recognize your own underlying emotions and separate intent from impact you see, we tend to judge others by our intentions and then we judge others by their actions. Don't assume you know what someone is thinking. Avoid defensive responses and practice empathy. It takes practice. This doesn't always work, so if you do get into a difficult conversation, try to de escalate by maintaining a calm, soft voice without accusatory language. And if the tension really rises, take a break. Try to find common ground. Try to find a win win solution, but be willing to compromise and focus on preserving the relationship because that's what really matters. Tip number four is budget your energy. Over commitment leads to overstressed. Learn to say no, but do it politely. I appreciate the invitation, but I won't be able to make it this year. Now, let's talk about physical well being. Tip number five. As much as possible, try to maintain your routine. Your routine for eating, sleeping, exercising, and managing stress. I know, I know, trust me, I've seen the big hand on the six and the little hand on the ten twice as often as normal just this week. But, I've also felt the effects. Try to maintain your movement or exercise routine and don't forget nutrition. Listen, the most important advice I can give you is start your meal with fiber. It's critical for gut health and it helps even if you're going to eat those bacon wrapped crackers afterwards. And remember, sleep matters. Sleep hygiene can help unless you already suffer from insomnia. Then, maybe not so much. You're going to want to stay tuned for the next series. It's going to be on sleep. If you need a resource, visit my website and grab that tip sheet on how to turn off your mind. All six pillars of lifestyle medicine have an impact on your holiday attitude. Let's wind up this series with this focus on stress. And we've already discussed managing expectations and setting boundaries with your time and energy. Now, let's look at some practical tips for regulating your emotions. Tip number six. Since we're using Christmas carols to frame this episode, how about singing to relieve stress and reset your mood? I'd like to read you a text I got from my son in law. With his permission, of course. Hopefully this time I can read it without choking up. He was talking about his oldest son, my little grandson. And he said, we like to shut off all the lights, put the Christmas tree in the fireplace, and play Christmas songs. He asked me for a special one tonight. Not a Grinch one, lol. There's one that stands out. It's not catchy or particularly memorable, but my grandpa loved it. He used to look like he was a thousand miles away when he played it on a vinyl record. He told me on Christmas Eve, 1944, he had gotten a letter that one of my grandma's brothers, his future brother in law, was unaccounted for at the Battle of the Bulge. Another brother was at Bastogne, with the 101st Airborne and the 3rd was in the Philippines. His unit sat down to eat and this song played and they were all choked up. Just a bunch of 20 something year olds trying to hide it. A few weeks later, he'd start prepping for D Day. Most of those men didn't make it. He said, oddly, Christmas was simpler, a reminder of God's blessings. of family and home. I thought of it last week and sat downstairs at your house one night and after everyone went to bed, listened to it. It was nice to be home with y'all. Okay, I got choked up a little, but if you're like me and you can't sing, listen to music. And tip number seven is remember to breathe. There are some specific breathing exercises that help manage stress. The 4 7 8 breathing method where you inhale for four seconds. Hold your breath for 7 seconds, exhale slowly for 8 seconds. Repeat this if you're feeling overwhelmed or do the box breathing technique where you inhale for 4 seconds, hold it for 4 seconds, exhale for 4 seconds, hold it for 4 seconds. And you know what? Even if you can't hit the high notes of heavenly peace, sing anyway. Tip number eight is read the Christmas story and meditate on its truths and pray. And tip number nine is practice gratitude. You want to know why we always recommend practicing gratitude? Because gratitude equals contentment. And I can hardly think of anything that alleviates the stress of the holidays more than contentment. Be content with the gifts you buy and content with the gifts you receive. Love the home you have and all that is in it, including the people. Accept the family you have. Not the family you wish they were. When you don't feel grateful, take a walk. God reveals his very self to us in nature, and that goes a long way in resetting your mindset. I hope you'll follow me into the new year. We're going to start 2025 by focusing on a good night's sleep, but we're going to keep focusing on all the pillars of lifestyle medicine. You are such a blessing to me. Tip number 10. Don't get overwhelmed. Don't overindulge, but don't miss the moments. Keep Christmas simple. Sit on the stairs, turn off the lights, listen to music, but also embrace the opportunities. Like eating the toffee that my neighbor gave me yesterday. After all, it's Christmas and managing expectations may mean making some exceptions. The bottom line is, stress is inevitable during the holidays. You cannot avoid it, but you can manage it. It's a skill that can be learned, but like any skill, It takes repetition and practice. So if you cry and pout, give yourself some grace because it is a wonderful life. Really? Because though there's no miracle on 34th street, there is a miracle. That is the reason for the season. And don't forget, that's what we're really celebrating. The birth of Jesus brings perfect peace. He came to earth to do for us what we can't do for ourselves. So, hark the herald, angels sing, glory to the newborn king, peace on earth and mercy mild, God and sinners reconciled. Have a merry, healthy Christmas because healthy looks great on you.

Three things converged for me recently and at the point of their convergence was the issue of placing women in frontline combat roles. The first leg of the convergence was the election of Donald Trump. We're still debating the reasons why he won, but certainly a reassertion of gender differences are near the top of everyone's list. For example, allowing natal men into women's sports. The second was Trump's nomination of Pete Hesgeth for Secretary of Defense. Hegseth's nomination is controversial for a lot of reasons, but one of the controversies is his opinion that women should not be allowed into front line combat roles. Finally, I just got done watching the miniseries Band of Brothers, while at the same time re-reading the Stephen E. Ambrose book it's based on. I would highly recommend the exercise (see my review of the book here.) In addition to being enjoyable it reminded me of how physical, grimy, and desperate combat can be. And of course the theme of both the book and the series is that Easy Company was so effective because they had developed strong bonds of brotherhood through the numerous challenges they overcame. These challenges include D-Day, Market Garden, liberating concentration camps, and finally being the first into Hitler's stronghold at Eagle's Nest. But if you were to pick the hardest thing they did, it was probably defending Bastogne during the Battle of the Bulge. Watching and reading about Bastogne was a sobering experience. It is also the point where the three things I just mentioned crystallized into this line of inquiry. Given that it might be helpful to give you a brief overview of the Siege of Bastogne...
Ce lundi marque un événement rare en Wallonie : la fusion des communes de Bastogne et Bertogne, une première depuis 1977. À l'époque, sous le gouvernement national Tindemans II, les fusions visaient à rationaliser les moyens, réduisant le nombre de communes belges de 2 359 à 596, non sans résistances. Aujourd'hui, dans une Belgique régionalisée, l'objectif reste similaire : générer des économies d'échelle et accroître le poids politique local. En Flandre, sept fusions ont déjà eu lieu depuis 2017, mais en Wallonie, ce projet suscite des controverses. À Bastogne-Bertogne, la population s'était exprimée négativement, mais la fusion a été imposée, promettant plus d'un million d'euros d'économies et 10 millions de bonus régionaux. Toutefois, certains rappellent que la taille critique ne garantit pas la santé financière : les grandes villes restent souvent plus endettées. La réforme pourrait s'étendre : à Bruxelles, les débats sur la fusion des communes, CPAS et zones de police se heurtent à des tensions communautaires, transformant la discussion en affrontement politique. La fusion des échelons, d'où qu'elle vienne, reste une musique discordante.

Private First Class John Agnew served in World War II as a Paratrooper and Pathfinder. Pathfinders were paratroopers that dropped into enemy territory first, tasked with setting up signals that would direct the rest of the paratrooper fleet into the correct landing zones. Since they were often the first soldiers sent across enemy lines, this was an incredibly dangerous job. As a Pathfinder Pilot, it was Pedone's job to fly the Pathfinders into enemy territory. Agnew parachuted into Normandy on D-Day as a member of the Filthy Thirteen, a paratrooper demolition squad that became notorious for their insubordination and their signature look, that included Native American style warpaint and mohawks. They later inspired the movie The Dirty Dozen. Out of 20 men, Agnew was one of four from his unit that survived D-Day. Agnew, along with half of the surviving members of the Filthy Thirteen, joined the Pathfinders. He fought in the Siege of Bastogne, the Rhine River Crossings, and Operation Market Garden with the Pathfinders. He later also served in Vietnam. In this interview, Agnew describes the Siege of Bastogne and The Filthy Thirteen. Learn more about Agnew here. Check out the Documentary.tv YouTube Channel to see incredible stories like this combined with rare, authentic battlefield footage to create riveting film documentaries. Editor's Note: ‘Private First Class' refers to Agnew's rank during the Siege of Bastogne. His rank by the time of his retirement is unknown. Learn more about your ad choices.

Ardenneroffensiven inleddes av tyskarna den 16 december 1944. Motoffensiven gick västerut genom Ardennerna med målet att ta Antwerpen, splittra de allierade styrkorna, slå av deras underhållslinjer och återta avfyrningsplatserna för V2-raketerna. Men det var de sista resurserna som sattes in.Två anfallskolonner med reorganiserade pansardivisioner körde de första dygnen bokstavligen över de oerfarna och hårt slitna amerikanska divisioner som stod i deras väg. Det dåliga vädret spelade tyskarna i händerna. Det var i princip endast vid staden Bastogne som blixtinkallade förstärkningar av 101:a luftlandssättningsdivisionen kunde hålla emot.I detta avsnitt av Militärhistoriepodden skildrar och diskuterar Martin Hårdstedt och Peter Bennesved de dramatiska veckorna kring jul 1944 då Tysklands sista motoffensiv skakade de allierade.Tysklands rustningsindustri hade under ledning av Albert Speer lyckats få fram ny materiel – inte minst stridsvagnar och flygplan. Förbanden hade dessutom fyllts på och en del av förlusterna sedan landstigningen i Normandie och den sovjetiska offensiven hade ersatts. Men det var de sista resurserna som sattes in.Alla förband var heller inte av en kvalitet som i krigets inledning. De pansardivisioner under Sep Dietrich och Hasso von Manteuffel som skar genom de allierades linjer var av högst kvalitet, men de Volksgrenadier-divisioner som följde upp bakom var svaga.Till en början insåg inte de allierade fullt ut vidden av den tyska offensiven, men Eisenhower fattade mycket snart beslutet att flytta fram mekaniserade divisioner norr och söder om den inbuktning som den tyska offensiven hade skapat i den allierade frontlinjen. Dessa förstärkningar kunde när den tyska offensiven kommit till ett stopp på grund av hårdnackat motstånd, drivmedelsbrist och det faktum att det allierade flyget åter kunde sättas in när vädret blev bättre.Striderna genomfördes med stor brutalitet. I den lilla franska byn Malmedy begick tyska SS-förband den 17 december en massaker på amerikanska soldater. Amerikanarna hämnades vid Chenogne på nyårsdagen. ”The Battle of the Bulge” som kampen för att stoppa och slå tillbaka den tyska Adenneroffensiven kallades kom att bli det blodigaste slag som den amerikanska armén utkämpade under andra världskriget. Förlusterna uppgick till mer än 50 000 man stupade och sårade. På den tyska sidan var förlusterna ännu större och inte minste blev antal förstörda stridsfordon på sikt kännbara. Efter Ardenneroffensiven återstod för tyskarna att försöka försvara sig och hålla Rhen. Tre månader efter att striderna hade ebbat ut i slutet av januari kapitulerade Tyskland.Bild: Tyskt militärfoto som beslagtagits av amerikansk militär Originalbeskrivning: "En tysk soldat, tungt beväpnad, bär ammunitionslådor fram med följeslagare i territorium som tagits under deras motoffensiv.

Join Rose Manley and Denny Gray as they unpick a drama filled Stage 5 at the Tour de France Femmes. We find out what happened out on the road after the yellow jersey changed hands during a stage that had been originally classified as ‘flat' and ponder on what this huge upset in the standings might mean for the final GC. Plus we hear from the Swinkels sisters - Karlijn and Sylvie - who are racing together, or rather against each other at the Tour de France Femmes for the first time. And even two closed fromageries can't stop Denny on his quest to find more cheese at the race.
The end is in sight but there are a few missions to complete. Part Eight – The Last Patrol. Easy Company is in Hagenau in February 1945, where they prepare for a night patrol mission to capture German prisoners. The patrol includes one veteran who is despised for missing Bastogne and a new lieutenant fresh...

The Joint Readiness Training Center is pleased to present the sixty-second episode to air on ‘The Crucible - The JRTC Experience.' Hosted by the Commander of Ops Group (COG), COL Matthew Hardman. Today's guests are a pre-command and incoming commander for 2nd Brigade Combat Team of 10th Mountain Division (Light Infantry), COL Anthony Gore and the current commander of 1st Brigade Combat Team of the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault), COL Trevor Voelkel. Established during the build-up of US forces in the Cold War, 2nd BCT / 10th MTN has been continually deployed in support of various contingencies around the world as well as six deployments during the Global War on Terror. They have the Hollywood call-sign of “Commando” and the motto of “Courage & Honor.” 1st BCT / 101st ABN started life as 327th Infantry Regiment in WWI and then came to the 101st ABN as a Glider Infantry Regiment. They are one of the most storied infantry brigades in the US Army, having fought in WWI, WWII, Vietnam, Op Desert Storm / Gulf War, and continuously during the GWOT. They have the Hollywood call-sign of “Bastogne” and the motto of “Honor & Country.” In this episode we discuss developing leaders at echelon within our brigade combat teams for the next looming fight. Developing leaders at echelon within BCTs is essential for preparing our force to effectively navigate the complexities of large-scale combat operations across multiple domains. This development begins with comprehensive training programs that emphasize the integration of multi-domain capabilities, ensuring leaders understand how to coordinate and leverage assets across these domains. Leaders must be proficient in multi-domain operational planning and execution, capable of making informed decisions in high-pressure environments. Training scenarios at home-station should replicate the intensity and unpredictability of LSCO as seen at the CTCs, fostering adaptability, resilience, and innovative problem-solving skills. Additionally, leadership development must focus on enhancing communication and collaboration skills, enabling leaders to work seamlessly with joint and coalition forces. By investing in robust leadership training and fostering a culture of continuous learning, BCTs can cultivate a cadre of leaders who are well-prepared to face the dynamic challenges of modern warfare and effectively command operations across multiple domains.

General George S. Patton is known for his aggressive, action-oriented tactical brilliance.His character was also marked by a lesser-known but equally fundamental mystic piety.Those two qualities would come together in the lead up to and execution of Patton's greatest achievement during WWII: the relief of Bastogne during the Battle of the Bulge.Alex Kershaw tells this story in his new book Patton's Prayer: A True Story of Courage, Faith, and Victory in World War II. Today on the show, Alex shares how, when the Third Army's advance into Germany was stalled by plane-grounding clouds and road-muddying rain, Patton commissioned a prayer for better weather that was distributed to a quarter million of his men, and how that prayer became even more urgent after the commencement of the Battle of the Bulge. We also talk about Patton's qualities as a leader and a man, including his reading habits, how he combined a profane assertiveness with a pious faith and a belief in reincarnation, and what happened to him as the war came to a close.Resources Related to the PodcastAlex's previous appearances on the AoM Podcast:#361: The Untold Story of WWII's 45th Infantry Division#514: Remembering D-Day 75 Years Later#806: The Humble Heroics of Four of WWII's Most Decorated Soldiers#953: Duty, Honor, and the Unlikely Heroes Who Helped Win the Battle of the BulgeAoM Article: George S.

Company E, 506th Regiment was part of the U.S. Army's 101st Airborne Division. It was formed in 1942 and comprised of young volunteers that were generally new to the army. Company E received its baptism by fire in June 1944 when it jumped into NAZI occupied France. It went on to jump into Holland as part of Operation Market-Garden; helped blunt the German advance by holding the town of Bastogne during the Battle of the Bulge; and then drove across Germany to secure Hitler's final defeat. During its advance across Europe, Company E sustained 150% casualties. Stephen Ambrose tells Easy Company's story through the words of the men who served in it.
Coming up on the Men at the Movies podcast, we continue our Band of Brothers series with The Last Patrol. Webster was a Toccoa man, had gone through D-Day with Easy Company, but because he wasn't at Bastogne, he was treated like an outsider. He had to enter into their suffering in order to reengage with them. Friendship is about jumping in someone else's foxhole, not waiting for them to jump into yours. And the deep meaningful relationships that you have will take work. You will need to fight for the men around you. Join us as we discover God's truth in this story. Questions How has the struggle and suffering lead to areas of victory? What does it mean to partner with God in your initiation? With His initiation of your wife, kids? How are you being a friend to the men in your life? When has a friend screwed up and you chose to be friends anyway? When has a friend disappointed you and you walked away from the relationship? Who do you need to forgive that has hurt you? Who do you need to suffer with? What expectations do you need to let go of?

In 2011, Harry Kaiser's World War II medals were finally issued to him. An Army corporal during the war, Kaiser served with the 60th Infantry Regiment attached to the 9th Armored Division and saw combat during the Battle of the Bulge, including the defense of Bastogne, then across central Europe, and finally at the firefight over the Remagen Bridge.It was at Remagen in March 1945 when the force of a German artillery shell blew him off a second-floor balcony, sending him crashing to the ground, dislocating a bone in his right leg. He spent the next six weeks in a French hospital, and by then, the war in Europe was coming to a close.The six medals he was given when he was 90 years old included the Bronze Star.Listen to Harry and his wife Patricia talk about the war years and how Harry came to know Amelia Earhart and observe Howard Hughes on the Oral history website and podcast VoicesOfOklahoma.com.
We are moving on to episode 6 of the Band of Brothers series, Bastogne. The men were under fire, spread thin, alone and isolated, and with no hope of resupply or reinforcements. They were in a place no one would choose to go. But they find that victory and the strength to hold the line is found in the power of their presence. Join us as we discover God's truth in this story. Questions Which descriptor fits you best? Some days you gain ground, sometimes you lose ground. Under fire. Spread thin. Isolated and alone. No hope of resupply. What does that look like in your life? How have you played the role of medic to the people around you? Who has played Eugene's role for you when you are wounded and depleted? How do you think God will respond when you take him your problems? Will He be disappointed, get in his jeep and leave? Or do you believe he actually gives a shit about your problems? What sort of man do you want to be? What do you want your wife to say about you? What do you want your kids to say about you?

In this episode Sean and James discuss Band of Brothers Episode 5: Crossroads. Winters writes an after-action report on Easy's actions during a German counter offensive on the Nijmegen salient; he is troubled by the fact that he shot an unarmed, teenage Waffen-SS soldier during the battle. Winters is promoted to battalion executive officer, and command of Easy is given to "Moose" Heyliger. Winters, Nixon, Heyliger and Sink meet Lt. Col. David Dobie of the British Parachute Regiment and 1st Airborne Division, who enlists Easy's help in Operation Pegasus to rescue 140 of his comrades. The operation succeeds, and the rescued British Paras celebrate with Easy and toast them. Heyliger is badly wounded, and command of the company passes to Norman Dike before they are rushed to Bastogne when the Germans break out in the Battle of the Bulge.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/4747725/advertisement
Vincent Speranza was born to immigrant Italian parents in New York City. When the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, Speranza's father stressed to his boys that they were Americans and that America must not lose the war. He was quite a bit more conflicted over the prospects of his sons fighting against Italy. Once old enough to serve, Speranza was assigned to the U.S. Army infantry but eventually moved to the airborne.In this edition of "Veterans Chronicles," Speranza details how he joined the 101st airborne after D-Day and the failure of Operation Market Garden in Holland, what it was like to be rushed to the Battle of the Bulge in brutally cold temperatures, and what he accomplished as a machine gunner during the battle.Finally, Speranza recounts his legendary effort to find beer during the battle for his wounded friend. And he tells us about his return to Bastogne decades later, during which he discovered he was a local legend.Sadly, Vincent Speranza died in 2023. But the service and stories of the Beer Man of Bastogne live on!
