Podcasts about war camp

Episode 362: We explore chilling events that unfolded at POW Camp 132 in Medicine Hat, Alberta, during World War II. This prisoner-of-war camp, one of many scattered across Canada, became the site of two brutal murders that shocked even hardened veterans and led to Canada's last mass execution. In the summer of 1943, August Plaszek, a former French Foreign Legion soldier forcibly integrated into the German army, met a gruesome end at the hands of Nazi hardliners within the camp. Just over a year later, in September 1944, Karl Lehmann, a university professor turned Luftwaffe interpreter, suffered a similar fate for daring to share news of Germany's failing war effort with his fellow prisoners. These murders, born from the complex dynamics of a “little piece of Germany” transplanted to the Canadian prairies, would set in motion a series of dramatic trials that tested the limits of Canadian justice and international law.

Guest: Nathan Greenfield, historian, author of Hanged in Medicine Hat

Synopsis The French composer Olivier Messiaen played the piano part in one of the strangest premiere performances of the 20th century on today's date in 1941. As the composer himself puts it: “My ‘Quartet for the End of Time' was conceived and written during my captivity as a prisoner of war and received its premiere at Stalag 8a in Görlitz, Silesia.” One of the four performers was cellist Etienne Pasquier, who offered this recollection: “We were captured at Verdun. Our entire company was initially held in a large field near Nancy. Among our comrades was a clarinetist who had been allowed to keep his clarinet. Messiaen started to write a piece for him… as he was the only person there with an instrument. [That] solo was later to become the third movement of the Quartet. The clarinetist practiced in the open field and I acted as his music stand. The piece seemed too difficult… and he complained about it to Messiaen. “'You'll manage,' was Messiaen's only reply.” Pasquier said the Quartet's premiere was a great success and led to the release of Messiaen and his three colleagues, because the Germans assumed – wrongly, it turns out – that the four musicians must have all been non-combatants.

The homecoming of Father Emil Kapaun, Servant of God, to the Diocese of Wichita, KS, last month was greeted with the hero's welcome he deserved, 70 years after his death in a North Korean Prisoner-of-War Camp. Auxiliary Bishop F. Richard Spencer of the Archdiocese for the Military Services, USA (AMS), was among those present and shares his experience in this edition of Catholic Military Life, the only official podcast of the AMS.

From 1861 to 1865 the fairground at the southern edge of Brattleboro served as a military camp and hospital. Over 1/3rd of all Vermonters who served in the Civil War passed through this military complex.

It's the most impactful article ever written about Father Emil Kapaun, but it's likely you've never encountered it. Featured in the Saturday Evening Post, an enormously popular magazine, the article is told from the perspective of Lt. Mike Dowe, who met Chaplain Kapaun on a march to a North Korean Prisoner of War Camp. The story is narrated in excellent fashion by Father Matt Pawlikowski, a Foxhole veteran and friend of Mike Dowe. Get ready for an absolute treat, and share this episode with a friend. This episode is part of our ongoing Father Kapaun Comes Home Series, leading up to the return of his remains and his Mass of Christian Burial at the end of September.

For this episode I interview Jean Birkett, a resident at The Village of Riverside Glen. Jean is 98, lived through the depression, WWII, and even a positive Covid diagnosis during this pandemic. Her father was a prisoner in a Prisoner of War Camp in WWI, and was a guard at one in WWII, and a subsequent illness brought the family to Toronto from Timmins when her father lost his knee. Jean gives us a glimpse into Toronto in these war and post-war years, working at General Electric and Random House, and while this history hasn't always been easy, throughout the loss and hardship she's experienced she understands the role that overcoming hurdles and learning from mistakes has in shaping us, and has felt incredibly supported by her family. She is looking forward to more day trips out into the sunshine, and the arrival of her new teeth so she can finally enjoy hamburger. Thank you Jean for sharing your story!This interview was originally recorded on June 17th 2021 Get on the email list at bridgingthesocialdistance.substack.com

For this episode I interview Emma Bradley, a resident at The Village of Riverside Glen. Emma is 96 years old, and has memories dating back to when she was a toddler. It's amazing to hear her stories of a childhood in New Brunswick, in a family of eleven children, growing up during WWII. All five of her brothers joined the services, and one ended up in a Prisoner of War Camp in Germany for two years. With three brothers in law also in the services, and her father working in a steel/munitions plant, the war deeply touched her family. Emma shares this, and her path to becoming a teacher, her move to Ontario and some of the stories she remembers from along the way. She's a strong woman too, and recently battled and survived Covid. We are so lucky to have her, and getting to hear stories that are almost 100 years old is such a privilege and we highly recommend you tune in.This interview was originally recorded on May 19th, 2021 Get on the email list at bridgingthesocialdistance.substack.com

Every Civil War buff knows there are never enough maps (enough GOOD maps) to illustrate a battle or campaign. Our April speaker, Dr. Brad Gottfried, has addressed this concern by embarking on a journey to map every campaign in the Eastern Theater of the Civil War. His most recent effort, The Maps of the Fredericksburg Campaign, will be the subject his talk to our group. While most know of the futile attempts to capture Marye's Heights, fewer know about the other major action at Prospect Hill that almost cost Lee his decisive victory. He will also illustrate the challenges Robert E. Lee and Ambrose Burnside experienced in getting their armies to Fredericksburg and the dreadful January Mud March. Gottfried will have books on hand that he will sell and sign at a discount. Brad Gottfried retired after a 40 year career in higher education. After receiving his Ph.D. in Zoology, he taught for eleven years at three colleges and then became an administrator. He ultimately served as president of two colleges for seventeen years. Gottfried has received a number of national and regional awards and recognitions for his leadership including: the National Council of Marketing Professionals' National Pacesetter of the Year and Leadership Maryland's Gold Leadership Award. As a historian, Brad has authored thirteen books and two additional works are moving through the editorial process. After writing five Gettysburg books, Brad has devoted his time to researching and writing a series of map studies of the Eastern Theater Campaigns, including the: Maps of First Bull Run, Maps of Antietam, Maps of Gettysburg, Maps of Bristoe Station & Mine Run, Maps of the Wilderness, and his newest volume, the Maps of Fredericksburg. He has completed two other books in the series, which should be published in the next few years: The Maps of the Cavalry in the Gettysburg Campaign and the Maps of the Spotsylvania/Overland Campaign. His Maps of the Petersburg Campaign is well under way. He has also completed a small book on the Point Lookout Prisoner of War Camp for Confederates, which he wrote with his wife and is self-published.

Interned during WW1, circus entertainer Joseph Pilates used found materials and his fellow prisoners as his test lab, and imagined an exercise system that would captivate millions. Imagine the ingenuity now only during a time of war, but amidst a global pandemic, Pilates has shown that survival is predicated upon taking action and leadership. The next time you feel that pandemic Netflix binge coming on, think about what you can do to boost your immune system and protect yourself through prevention beyond masks and social distancing.

Wounded by a grenade during a battle with Chinese Communists, Sergeant Herbert Miller found himself staring at the barrel of an enemy rifle. He thought it was the end of the road for him, until he noticed a US Army Chaplain make his way across the battlefield to push the Communist soldier aside and pick Miller up. He then proceeded to help Miller along a grueling march to a Prisoner of War Camp. Hear Herb share how that Chaplain, Emil Kapaun, continued to give men hope in the midst of their trial, and how Herb came to know God in the darkness of the POW Camp.

Cabanatuan POW Camp CemeteryThousands of United States Soldiers, Sailors, Marines, and civilians were taken prisoners of war (POW) by the Japanese in the Philippine Islands between 7 December 1941 and 8 May 1942. The saga of the battle for the Philippines and the horrible treatment the survivors received in Japanese POW camps is the subject of numerous books and articles, but there are few resources that articulate graves registration operations, especially those focused on recovering and identifying the remains of U.S. servicemen who perished at the Cabanatuan Prisoner of War Camp. The details concerning the circumstances under which U.S. prisoners held at Cabanatuan lived and died were difficult and complicated, as were the attempts to disinter and identify their remains after the war’s end. 75 years later with the advancement in DNA the U.S. Government needs to reexamine the Cabanatuan unknown cases and look at using a DNA Lead Process to make these identifications.Please visit our website for more information about our services to POW/MIA families - https://www.uspowmiafamilylocating.comPlease visit our affiliate links that help support our Podcast.

Civil War Camp Cooking 2019 Armchair Tour Presented Erik Schultz, Long time reenactor While Lake County’s Civil War Days may be cancelled this year, it is our opportunity for Erik Schultz to offer his experiences as reenactor and experienced camp cook’s guide. Instead of sweating and trying desperately to keep up with his long strides, we will be in air-conditioned comfort. Schulz has been a re-enactor for over 30 years and has lead camp cooking tours for Lake County’s Civil War Days. As we walked between encampments, Erik would regale us with his experiences. Often the conversation during the journey was just as educational as the encampments we visited. We will miss the impressions reenactors would have created for our education on life as a Civil War soldier. This has been an annual event for us, because the tour has always been fresh and dynamic. By design the cooks tour not just tests the culinary skills of the reenactors, they emphasize authenticity. Each camp has been responsible for their menu and bring whatever material they deemed correct to their impression. Emphasis is placed on the accuracy of the meal to the overall camp impression. Those on the tour acted as judges noting how the food was obtained, what implements were used in the preparation, what the camp represents and the consistency of the meal to that impression. Each camp explains what their impression represents, where they are camping, and any other information consistent with their impression. These tours have provided another aspect of life during the Civil War. Contemporary people take for granted the ability to walk into a grocery store and purchase fresh fruits and vegetables regardless of season. This was not how life was lived 150 years ago. When reenactors prepare their meal, they consider what could reasonably be available to their impression. The reenactors desire is to help educate guests on a soldier’s everyday life during the Civil War. INformation mentioned during the talk: A Taste for War: The Culinary History of the Blue and the Gray Paperback – May 1, 2011 by William C. Davis (Author) A sutler or victualer is a civilian merchant who sells provisions to an army in the field, in camp, or in quarters. Sutlers sold wares from the back of a wagon or a temporary tent, traveling with an army or to remote military outposts.[1] Sutler wagons were associated with the military, while chuck wagons served a similar purpose for civilian wagon trains and outposts.[2] (from Wikipedia)
