  The comedian/writer Mel Brooks was there as an 18 year old fresh out of training school for disarming unexploded ordinance. His unit was positioned where the Panzers came pouring thru and said he was happy do as ordered and run away to safety. He became part of an ad hoc unit that blew up bridges and culverts to slow down the advancing German forces. Mel described the fighting as a living nightmare and was surprised that he survived.

  President McKinley, veteran of the Civil War, his nephew fights in WW2. Did not know this, very interesting. &nbsp;Also, a FO’s dream calling in 9 battalions of artillery. Surprised, never heard of this, went to Arty OCS Ft Sill. &nbsp;Listening to your programs you’ll know every minute detail of WW2. &nbsp;You are very busy, with very good authors.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUc86pTFRps&amp;t=775">12:55</a> &nbsp;YES YES YES!! I&apos;ve been saying this for years! The Germans on the US Army in North Africa: &quot;These guys are a joke&quot;. The Germans on the US Army in Italy: &quot;Meh&quot;. The Germans on the US Army in Normandy: &quot;It&apos;s only their air power. They&apos;re nothing special&quot;. The Germans on the US Army during the Bulge: &quot;Who the hell are these guys?&quot;

  I’m late commenting on this episode but I’m constantly amazed by the quality of the content on this channel. To attract someone of Steven Zaloga’s stature is pretty impressive. Many of your lesser known guest historians provide information of equal quality but Zaloga is so widely recognized and is quoted incessantly (rightfully so). I’m not certain why you don’t have more subs but they surely will come if quality of content is of any value.
