Summary
In this episode we're starting with the US 110th Infantry regiment in the Ardennes and following a small number of GI's who became POW and sent back to Germany, to ultimately work as slave labour on 'operation swallow'.
Joining me once more is military historian Mark Felton. Mark is having a busy year, if you recall we chatted to him recently about the Bridge Busters, a raid on the Dortmund-Ems canal in episode 96. In episode 73 we discussed US troops undertaking Operation Cowboy as a rescue mission to save the world famous 'spanish riding school', and one of my favourite episodes 49 we talked about VIP POWs held by the Italians - that is a fantastic episode! And if you've listened to all that, don't forget Mark is prolific on youtube with his short pieces on military history, you can find him at Mark Felton Productions.
