Back to the Hürtgen Forest with FOUR WWII Veterans! | History Traveler Episode 325

Earlier this year, we had the opportunity to travel with four WWII veterans to Europe to revisit the battlefields where they fought in 1944 and 1945. This was all made possible through the efforts of Andrew Biggio, who is the author of The Rifle and The Rifle 2. In this episode, we're visiting the 1944 Hürtgen Forest Museum, getting a few stories from the veterans and witnessing a moving moment with a medic of the 4th Infantry Division who was coming back for the first time since 1944.
