Where Heroes Walked: The Faces, the Places, and the Stories of World War II

history, society, culture, documentary · EN

Historian Stephen Ambrose appropriately described World War II as “history’s greatest catastrophe”. But from the smoldering rubble of that war there emerged amazing stories of ordinary men and women doing extraordinary deeds of valor, sacrifice, and heroism in the midst of extraordinary times. Today, over 80 years later, there are still such stories being unearthed, stories that need to be told. Such is the purpose of Ron Eckberg’s Where Heroes Walked podcast. The "proud son of a World War II combat Veteran", Ron Eckberg is committed to passing along the stories of World War II, and the stories within the stories. You will hear stories that you will most likely not have heard before, stories that will inspire, educate, and hopefully challenge you to help in this effort to keep alive the memory of what those we call the Greatest Generation did to keep the world from succumbing to the madness of those who would seek to rule it.
