  Many of you complained that the videos had too many repetitions. I understood the problem and reworked my script-writing strategy - now each script takes over two hours of work, but every chapter contains fresh information. <br>Regular viewers - have you noticed a difference? This is important to me. <br>Many also asked to lower the volume on the pop-up prompts for likes and subscriptions - done. ✅

  I love seeing how many different ways the Ai &quot;interprets&quot; names.

  In the 1950&apos;s when I was 6 years old, my dad and his friend were laying on the grass talking about WWII. I used to fake sleeping because that&apos;s when they told the real war stories. My dad fought in the South Pacific and Don fought across Europe with Patton. They both saw some rough things that still haunted them. &nbsp;Somehow FM radio came up and Don asked my dad if he knew what FM really stood for? &nbsp;Frequency Modulation.... &nbsp; &apos;&apos;No, FM means Fuggin Magic&apos;&apos;. &nbsp; &nbsp;When I repeated it to Mom, she wasn&apos;t pleased at all.

  I think about this battle everyday. &nbsp;Just a few good men changed the world without knowing.

  The big problem at Lanserath with Lt. Buch and his artillery observers was that they were on the edge of unit sectors. The artillery unit that was supposed to support them was not permitted to fire on their targets. The adjacent units artillery was already tied up and nobody in that unit understood the urgency of the situation. Buch and his men held their positions for 20 hours. One artillery observer was killed. Everyone else survived the battle. Some died in POW camps. Buch himself almost died by the time Germany had surrendered. There is a great book about this battle and the terrible imprisonment of the I&amp;R Platoon, The Longest Winter by Alex Keyshaw. BTW, the new script is great.

  Bouck was one of the youngest LTs in the Army. &nbsp; At Lanzerath, Bouck knew there was a small contingency of the 106th ID with 4 tank destroyers and a couple pieces of artillery. &nbsp;He didn&apos;t know they had left until just before the battle. &nbsp;When Bouck and his men were assigned to the area, &nbsp;he had the men upgrade every foxhole for added protection and strength. &nbsp;The LT had a small hut which he used to ensure the men could get warm, &nbsp;eat up meals and dry gear. &nbsp;He acquired food items to add to their diets. He also supplementd themselves with a few weapons a normal I&amp;R platoon wouldn&apos;t have.. &nbsp;<br>Anyone who can hold up Peiper for 12-18 &nbsp;hours with a platoon deserves the Medal of Honor. &nbsp; Peiper was furious. &nbsp; <br>Unfortunately for Bouck and his brave loyal platoon, &nbsp;the battle was the easy part. &nbsp; After being captured, the men went to different camps several of which were Primitive. &nbsp;<br>After Bouck was liberated he was hospitalized and too ill to prepare an AAR. &nbsp;In 1965, Hugh Cole published several books about the Bulge. Lanzerath was like a footnote. &nbsp; Bouck&apos;s men requested he have this gross oversight and under appreciation and lack of recognition corrected. &nbsp; Bouck received a Silver Star in the mail in 1966. &nbsp;Nothing for the men.<br>Bouck was interviewed by John Eisenhower for the book he was writing. &nbsp;In 1981, 14 of the 18 men platoon attended a ceremony with the Secretary of the Army. &nbsp;Each man received the Presidential Unit Citation. &nbsp;Four received the Distinguished Service Cross; 5 the Silver Star and 9 the Bronze Star with V device. &nbsp;<br>Bouck and his men became the most decorated unit of their size in WW2

  I tend to be skeptical of stories, especially ones from the internet, that I can not confirm. &nbsp;Some stories are good enough that I can appreciate them whether or not they are accurate. This was a good story well told.

  I’ve heard Lt Bucks story. He felt shame that he didn’t deserve. Brave man as well as those that served with him!
