HTP EP 24: Into The Furnace (PART ONE)

The History Things Podcast

In our Season 2 Quarter 4 installment of the History Things Podcast, Matt and Pat finally take the show to the Western Front: 1916, specifically to Verdun! In this episode we are joined by author and historian Johnathan Bracken who takes us through Part One of an amazingly detailed and at times horrific experience that the 151st Infantry Regiment of the French Army endured throughout the war and during the famous and terrible 11 month Battle of Verdun.
Want to experience the full magic of this episode? Join us over on YouTube beginning on Friday November 26, 2021 as we launch our channel with a dramatic visual version of Johns presentation on the young and old men of the Verdun Regiment, who were thrown into the furnace of the First World War.
