Folks, welcome to the Eric Metaxus show, sponsored by Legacy Precious Metals.

That's legacy p.m. Investments.com. Welcome to the Eric Metaxis show with your host, Eric Metaxus.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is the Eric Mataxis show. As you know, we have fascinating guests on this program,

but the most important thing is that we pay for the program

so that we can have the fascinating guests. So if you go to mypillow.com or my store.com and use

the code Eric, we'll be happy. You could also go to nutrometics.com and use the code Eric,

and we'll also be happy because we'd like to pay for the program.

We think it's important to pay our bills.

Listen, if you do that, here's what I'm going to do.

I'm going to have on a fabulous guest.

Today, actually, specifically, I'm talking to Samuel Mitchum,

who is the author of 40 books,

the most recent of which is the death of Hitler's War Machine.

Samuel Mitchum, welcome to this program.

Thank you very much.

Listen, I love talking about history.

I've written about history myself.

I've not quite written 40 books.

You've been doing this for a little while.

When did you write your first book?
