Was brauchen wir, um uns wohlzufühlen? Geld, einen Job, ein Dach über dem Kopf? Lange Zeit ging die Wissenschaft davon aus, dass es bei Wohlbefinden vor allem uns Eines geht: Haben. Aber wir sind mehr als nur biologische und materielle Wesen und wollen lieben, unser Leben aktiv gestalten und fühlen. Den Wurzeln des Wohlbefindens auf der Spur, reisen Leon und Atze in dieser Folge gedanklich in den dichten Dschungel der Insel Lubang auf den Philippinen. Dort harrt der japanische Soldat Onoda Hiroo 29 Jahre lang aus, weil er fest davon überzeugt ist, dass der Zweite Weltkrieg weitergehe.

BASED ON A TRUE STORY (BOATS EP. 364) — Acclaimed historian Jon Parshall separates fact from fiction in the classic film "The Bridge on the River Kwai" and the brutal realities of the Thai-Burma Railway during World War II, also known as the Death Railway. We'll contrast the film's fictional Colonel Nicholson with his real-life counterpart Lieutenant Colonel Philip Toosey, who sabotaged bridge construction when possible rather than cooperating with the Japanese. Follow Jon's new book at 1942book.com Jon Parshall is an award-winning author who has worked as a historical consultant on numerous TV shows, a tour guide, as well as a frequent lecturer at the U.S. Naval War College, the National World War II Museum, and the Nimitz Museum. As of this recording, Jon is working on a new book that will go into even more depth on all the topics we're learning about today and more.

A little past midnight on July 30, 1945, the USS Indianapolis, a US Navy cruiser, had just delivered the uranium that would be used in the first nuclear bomb dropped on Japan, and was returning to the Philippines when it was struck by a Japanese torpedo. The ship was badly damaged in the attack and within ten minutes it rolled onto its side, dumping 890 crewmen into the pitch-black ocean and dragging the remaining 300 down with the ship.Those who survived the torpedo strike did what they could to grab supplies before abandoning ship, but there were very few life boats or life jackets, so many of the sailors had to float in the water or cling to the few rafts they did manage to take before jumping from the boat. To make matters worse, their mission had been highly confidential and no one in the Navy knew where the Indianapolis was, much less that it had sank. The surviving crew thought things were about as bad as they could get, then the sharks began showing up.Thank you to the Incredible Dave White of Bring Me the Axe Podcast for research and Writing support!ReferencesAssociated Press. 1945.

On July 17th, 1944 the worst home front disaster of WWII unfolded in an instant when a munitions base exploded with the force of 5,000 lbs of TNT just outside of San Fransisco. The catastrophic incident killed 320 people instantly and injured hundreds more. The event resulted in the largest mutiny trial in US Naval History and raised awareness of racial injustice and unsafe working conditions during the war and became a critical event in the Civil Rights Movement.

Paul Hilliard, President of Badger Oil Corporation, has led a wonderful life of generosity and love of community that provides a humbling lesson in being a good steward of God's resources. At 99 years of age, he is sharp and insightful, a true testament to his wisdom and vitality. Paul was 17 when he enlisted in the U. S. Marine Corps during his Senior year in high school in February 1943, quitting school when he received permission from his mother to join the war effort. He trained to be a gunner, handling machine guns in the back of Douglas SBD Dauntless (Scout Bomber by Douglas Aircraft) planes in air missions conducted in the Pacific Theatre of Operations. SBD was jokingly referred to as “Slow But Deadly.” He flew 45 combat missions and was twice awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross in addition to receiving the Air Medal with six bronze stars.  Following his service, Hilliard earned his law degree from the University of Texas before beginning a career in the oil and gas industry. He credits the GI Bill for the opportunities it afforded him and so many other servicemen who would not have otherwise been able to obtain an education. Hilliard exemplifies the selfless spirit and pride of our WWII generation of heroes, as well as the successful ingenuity of a veteran oil and gas entrepreneur.  Known for his self-effacing wit and ability to achieve in spite of a hardscrabble upbringing in Wisconsin, Hilliard has been a successful independent operator and owner of Badger Oil Corporation since 1955 and has seen fit to use his success in business to help others in need. Awarded the Civic Cup in 2003 and the esteemed national Horatio Alger Award in 2009, Paul has also been active in statewide associations working to improve the oil and gas industry, business, and civic endeavors. Paul has also been active in statewide associations working to improve the oil and gas industry, business, and civic endeavors.  In 2015, he received the Circle of Honor Award from the Congressional Medal of Honor Foundation. UL Press released Dauntless: Paul Hilliard in WWII and a Transformed America in 2023. Written by Rob Citino with Ken Stickney and Lori Ochsner, the book documents some of the most fascinating decades in American history: the impact of World War II, the importance of post-war social and economic changes, and the development of the oil industry from the 1950s to today. “Dauntless is a compelling narrative tracing Paul Hilliard's life experiences during the Great Depression, from farm life in Wisconsin's Dust Bowl to his distinguished service as a Marine in World War II, his education through law school, and a long and successful business in the oil fields. Paul's lifelong philanthropy and his passion for education and the lessons of WWII make him an inspiration. His life is the Horatio Alger story. He is, and always be, one of my heroes.”—Boysie Bollinger Paul has been a generous benefactor in causes to help at-risk children learn to read so that they can overcome poverty as he did.  He and his late wife, Lulu, provided $5 million dollars in seed money to start the Paul and Lulu Hilliard Art Museum at UL – Lafayette. Paul has served as a National WWII Museum trustee, and he and his wife, Madlyn, have been two of the Museum's most active advocates and supporters. They have provided transformative support for several Museum initiatives, including acquisition and restoration of artifacts, collection of oral histories, and education programs. In September 2018, Hilliard accepted the position of Board Chair of the museum, focusing on the completion of the its $400 million campus expansion. For more information, visit https://www.nationalww2museum.org, a treasure trove of thousands of oral histories and hundreds of thousands of photos depicting the WWII experience. Paul ended the interview by sharing his gratitude for being born in the United States of America.  He spoke of a favorite quote by Cicero: “Gratitude...

Since we started COBT in 2020, we have gotten into the tradition of doing a Thanksgiving show each year. In our previous episodes, we have enjoyed showcasing and thanking the hardworking people working in energy who make Thanksgiving Day possible. Without them, the day simply isn't possible and we extend our thanks to them all again today. This year, we decided to mix it up a bit and thank another important group, America's World War Two Veterans. Of the 16 million Americans who served in the war, by some estimates less than 60,000 remain today. They are sadly passing away at a rate of approximately 300 a day. The youngest of them are now in their late nineties. Clearly, the time to talk with them, learn from them, and thank them again is now. Earlier this year, we met Tyler Boland, known as “the World War II Kid” (see his work here).Tyler is a 20-year-old college student on a mission to interview as many WWII veterans as possible. Starting his project as a freshman in high school, Tyler set out to meet and interview these veterans as a tribute to his great grandfathers who both fought in the war. Six plus years later, he has befriended over 300 of them, sponsored mini-reunions, absorbed their wisdom, and even taken them on special trips, including taking a group to the 80th anniversary of D-Day celebration this summer in Normandy. This young man is making a difference in the lives of these wonderful men. He has done all of this on his own. It's a remarkable and wonderful thing. With Tyler's help, we came up with the idea of an excursion to the The National WWII Museum in New Orleans. The audacious thought was to offer any veterans that Tyler knew the chance to go to the museum. Tyler knew exactly who to ask and Milton Ripple (age 96), Frank Stellar (age 100), and Bill Balabanow (age 98) were ready and willing to go! He and the three veterans from the Philadelphia area traveled down on Sunday where we met at Commander's Palace for a quintessential New Orleans meal on Sunday night and then had a great day at the museum on Monday. Special thanks to Murphy's CEO Roger Jenkins for getting us into Commander's Palace, and to Jeff Hildebrand for connecting us with the National WWII Museum. The staff at Commander's Palace treated our veterans like the heroes they are. The team at The National WWII Museum wrapped the men in the kindness and respect they deserve, let us in early for a VIP tour of all 7 museum buildings, treated us to lunch in the American Sector cafe, and also let us use their private library for today's podcast. It was a phenomenal experience to tag along as the men took a trip down their wartime memory lane. Below you'll see pictures of our veterans from their time in the service and then together at the museum. The quote from MacArthur is worth pausing on. The conversation with Tyler, Milton, Frank and Bill was wonderful. The time with them overall was incredibly special. The veterans are in good health, can walk and get around well, are mentally sharp, and tremendously upbeat. My take is that you can't live as long as they have, see as much as they have, endure as much as they have, and not be truly special human beings. As for Tyler, he makes you feel so good about America's youth that he would do all this. God bless Tyler Boland and the work he is doing, these men for all they have given us, and for all the men and women who fought to protect our freedom in World War Two. Happy Thanksgiving to you all! One final note – Milton, Frank and Bill, when you read and watch this, I'd like to just say one more time, THANK YOU!

It's Thursday and that means it's time to catch up on the week in politics with The Times Picayune/The Advocate's editorial director and columnist, Stephanie Grace. We look ahead at New Orleans' next mayoral race. We discuss big names who are considering running for New Orleans mayor, including two current city council members.  Monday was Veterans Day, and this week on Louisiana Considered, we are telling the stories of those who've served our country. Today we're joined by Nick Mueller, historian and former Vice Chancellor at the University of New Orleans, who served as Founding President and CEO of The National WWII Museum. He tells us about the life and legacy of the museum's co-founder, Stephen Ambrose, who also wrote the book-turned-HBO mini series, “Band of Brothers.” We learn how the two got the idea to start the museum and what the late Ambrose might think of it if he saw it today.  —Today's episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Bob Pavlovich. Our managing producer is Alana Schreiber. We receive production and technical support from Garrett Pittman, Adam Voc and our assistant producer, Aubry Procell.You can listen to Louisiana Considered Monday through Friday at 12:00 and 7:00 pm.

Is there an organization for the exhibition field? A new initiative is picking up steam. The exhibition community in the US, some say, has recently gone from having “nearly one” professional organization — to none at all. That's because of the unexpected 2023 dissolution of NAME, the National Association for Museum Exhibition, a group within the American Alliance of Museums (AAM). But now a new effort is rising at SEGD, an international organization headquartered in the US. It takes the form of a PPG, or professional practice group, specific to exhibition practitioners. How can everyone in the field access professional development and mentorship? What is the role of networking in a professional community? Should there be better standards for the field?Cybelle Jones (CEO of SEGD) and the cofounders of the new PPG, Steven Rosen (President and Creative Director, Available Light), and George Mayer (Retired Vice President of Business Development, Kubik Maltbie), join host Jonathan Alger (Managing Partner, C&G Partners) to discuss “A New Home for the Exhibition Community.” Along the way: how listeners can get involved, the role of local meetups, and what a survey revealed that people in the field most urgently need.Talking Points:ElevateAdvocateEducateStandardizeSocializeCelebrate How to Listen:Making the Museum: https://www.makingthemuseum.com/podcastApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/making-the-museum/id1674901311 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6oP4QJR7yxv7Rs7VqIpI1G Everywhere: https://makingthemuseum.transistor.fm/ Guest Bios: Cybelle Jones is CEO of SEGD, a multidisciplinary community creating experiences that connect people to place.

Cybelle is actively involved in various boards and has spoken on the field of experience design at AAM, the V&A, FIT, AIGA, AIA and MuseumNext. Steven Rosen, President and Creative Director, Available Light: Merging performance lighting techniques with traditional non-theatrical environments launched Steven's career and his founding of Available Light over 30 years ago. From Museum exhibits to immersive architecture to trade shows, the fun never stops—it helps that he works with some of the planet's most talented lighting aficionados. The originality and grand scale of Steven's award-winning designs are evident in many one-of-a-kind award-winning projects as: The Neural Climber interactive at the Franklin Institute, Ocean Hall for the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History, the International Spy Museum in DC, and Chicago MSI's U-505. He is passionate about supporting the lighting community. George Mayer first joined Maltbie Associates in 1986 and was responsible for identifying new business opportunities, proposal writing, presentations, contract negotiation, and oversight of project management teams to ensure satisfactory fulfillment for permanent and traveling exhibits. From 2002 to 2009, George worked as the founding director of a new museum fabrication business for Art Guild, Inc., a nationally active trade show exhibits producer. In 2010, George rejoined Maltbie (now Kubik Maltbie, Inc.) as Vice President of Business Development.

Send us a Text Message.This week, I tell the inspiring stories of 6 women who served in the top secret British espionage and sabotage organization, the SOE, during World War II.  In the late 1930s, Hitler's Nazi Germany quickly expanded throughout Europe, grabbing up country after country in its quest for world domination. When France finally fell to the Nazis in 1940, Britain was utterly alone in Europe, a sitting duck. Something had to be done. That something was the SOE and they soon found that women, who were far less suspicious and conspicuous than men, made perfect undercover agents. Join me to learn how the women of the SOE sacrificed everything to literally save the world! Sources: Time Magazine "Inside the Stories of the Most Daring Women Spies of World War II"UK National Army Museum "Special Operations Executive"Imperial War Museums "SOE: The Secret British Organization of the Second World War"Historic UK "The Female Spies of the SOE"UK National Archives "Records of Special Operations Executive"UK National Army Museum "Defeat in the West, 1940"National Interest "Germany's Superpower Quest Caused World War I"The National WWII Museum "How Did Adolf Hitler Happen?"Aspects of History "The Women of SOE"Holocaust Encyclopedia "The British Policy of Appeasement Toward Hitler and Nazi Germany"pearlharbor.org "Why Didn't America Join the War Sooner?"International Churchhill Society "Famous Quotes and Stories"encyclopedia.com "Sansom, Odette"Australian War Memorial "Nancy Grace Augusta Wake"Support the show! Buy Me a CoffeeVenmo @Shea-LaFountaine

During the Second World War, at least three million Indian people, who were British subjects, died in the Bengal Famine. It was one of the largest losses of civilian life on the Allied side. But there is no memorial to them anywhere in the world - not even a plaque. Can three million people disappear from public memory? From the award-winning creator and presenter of Partition Voices and Three Pounds in My Pocket, this is the story of the Bengal Famine of 1943. For the first time it is told by those who were there - farmers and fishermen, artists and writers, colonial British and everyday citizens. Nearly all of the testimony in the series has never been broadcast before. Eighty years on, those who lived through it are a vanishing generation. Time is running out to record their memories.We begin in 1942.

Joining me in this episode is Dr. John Curatola, the Samuel Zemurray Stone Senior Historian at the National World War II Museum. John talks about "Big Week" which took place 80 years ago this week, from 20 to 25 February 1944, and how this began the shift in how we employed our air forces to try to better utilize this important "tool of war". We also see a shift in the Luftwaffe as they begin to accept the reality that they can no longer realistically keep up with the losses they are suffering, which is undermining the Axis ability to utilize their air power as a "tool of war".

In the summer of 1944, a group of artists, visual designers and sound engineers--all of them GIs--began a series of secret operations in occupied France. Their mission: to deceive German forces about the location and size of U.S. military units, using a combination of inflatable vehicles, sound recordings, and “actors” posing as officers. The ranks of the “Ghost Army” included future stars of the worlds of art and design, including Ellsworth Kelly, Bill Blass, Arthur Singer, Victor Dowd, Art Kane, and Jack Masey. Journalist Rick Beyer has chronicled their ingenious exploits in a book and a documentary. December marks the 80th anniversary of the order that created the unit, which remained secret for decades. Shane Harris talked with Beyer about its creation, its success, and the ghost army's role in the storied history of intelligence deceptions.
