Episode 8 - Tom Rice (101st Airborne) WWII veteran interview (2/2)

Here's Episode #8 of Till Victory (a podcast about WWII and peace), and Part 2 of my conversation with world-famous veteran Tom Rice (501st PIR, 101st Airborne Division). On this day 76 years ago, Tom Rice was wounded in Bastogne, the belgian city made famous by the long and heroic stand of the 101st Airborne Division, surrounded by German units during the Battle of the Bulge. So we'll talk about that, of course, but we'll pick up where we left off, right after the Normandy campaign when the Screaming Eagles were getting ready for their next jump in Holland, "Operation Market Garden". If you're new to the podcast and haven't listened to Tom's part I yet, in which we talk about training, D-Day and Normandy, I suggest you start with the beginning!

Clément Horvath, French author of "Till Victory - The Second World War By Those Who Were There" talks in this new series of podcasts with WWII veterans and their families about their war stories, the heritage of World War 2 and the future of peace. Clément's latest book is the English version of his award-winning "Till Victory, lettres de soldats alliés", a best seller in France focusing on frontline letters from war-torn Europe, and the result of 15 years of research. The book was published in November 2020 by Pen & Sword Books (in the UK & Europe) and will be released by Casemate in the US and Canada in January 2021. https://www.tillvictory.com
