BIG NEWS!

A special screening on Band of Brothers: Legacy is happening Saturday, October 24th in Gettysburg! We've been working closely with the producers of this documentary that celebrates the 25th anniversary of Band of Brothers and are excited to bring it to one of America's most historic places in a state where many of the men from Easy Company called home.

As an added layer of coolness, you'll be watching this screening with us in the historic Majestic Theater, which is the same theater that Dwight and Mamie Eisenhower frequented during their time in Gettysburg. Along with the screening, we'll be running a series of panel discussions with well known historians, actors and the people who brought Band of Brothers to life. We'll be revealing more details as things progress but I can tell you that one guest is a well known history creator on YouTube who doesn't make it over to the U.S. very often. I can promise you that this is something that you won't want to miss.

And of course, you'll be able to top it off with a visit to The Gettysburg Museum Of History to see the Dick Winters Collection and the largest collection of Easy Company artifacts anywhere in the world. I've got a feeling that these tickets are going to go fast so I would jump on it asap. Details via the links below.
Can't wait to see you there!

Why would there be Chinese war graves from WWI on the Somme? Be watching for a new episode of History Traveler today where we'll be exploring that question. Plus, we'll be taking a look at the actions at High Wood with another group that might typically get overlooked when talking about the Battle of the Somme.

On this day in 1939, N**i Germany launched its invasion of Poland at dawn, beginning World War II in Europe. At 4:45 a.m., the German battleship Schleswig-Holstein opened fire on the small Polish garrison at Westerplatte in Danzig (Gdańsk). German forces simultaneously crossed the border from multiple directions with tanks, infantry, and aircraft in the first major use of Blitzkrieg tactics. The campaign ended in early October after the Soviet Union also invaded from the east, and Poland was partitioned.

I love this photo. The caption reads, "Nancy, the Springbok mascot of the 4th South African Regiment at the South African Brigade's memorial service at Delville Wood, 17 February 1918."

Head over to the YouTube channel to see the video that we dropped yesterday on the fighting in Delville Wood.

One question that I get often from Americans is why British and Commonwealth soldiers who were killed in action were never brought back home for reburial. Dan Hill of Battle Guide did a really good job explaining that in the episode that dropped today on Delville Wood. Speaking of which, the podcast that he co-hosts, Not So Quiet on the Western Front, recently had a great episode on the different woods of the Somme. Definitely recommend.

If you caught the new episode of History Traveler today, you saw our buddy Rob from History In Your Hand lending us his brain as we made our way through Delville Wood. Coincidentally, he just released a video on his channel about Delville Wood a few days ago that you should go check out (seriously, we didn't coordinate that). Good stuff!

Alright, so here's the deal. I uploaded a new Somme video on the South Africans at Delville Wood earlier today. It was doing well. And then a friend pointed out a STUPID editing mistake that I made that I couldn't live with. So I took the video down and re-uploaded a corrected version.

So if you watched the video already, do me a favor. Put the video back on and then go bake a tray of brownies or something. If you haven't watched it, head on over to YouTube and check it out. And then send it to everyone that you've ever known and tell them to watch it too.

Might have to fire the editor if he doesn't tighten up.

(That was a joke. The editor is me. So you're stuck with my occasional stupid mistakes.)
