History, the story of us, is something that's often discussed but is sometimes misunderstood. From the charging of Normandy, to the Fall of Rome, everyone is aware of these life changing events from years past. But what of forgotten leaders who watched cities burn, or century long wars over a bucket? What about the strange history?
In this podcast, we discuss the parts of history that you might not have heard about in school; from knights of the skies to bridges and encounters with the unknown, join us as we discuss the strange, weird things, that make us, us.

Episode 46: Hell, fought
War! Trench Warfare in WWI was a harsh thing, but that's only a small bit of the subject for today's episode. We are going to be covering the rise and fall of the 369th Infantry, also known as the Harlem Hellfighters. This unit of all African American soldiers would make waves through the war, and would go on to have several highly decorated soldiers, and this episode will be focusing on two of them. Learn about the power of friendship, hear about how much endurance the abnormal man has, and hear about how hard racism affected even war heros.
