"Climb to Glory" (Part I): The Beginnings of the 10th Mountain Division
Why We Fight ~ 1944 - Un pódcast de Sasha Maggio (MoT)
Categorías:
In this episode I'm joined by Doug Schmidt, a 10th Mountain Division veteran and curator at the 10th Mountain Division and Fort Drum Museum. Doug is also the grandson of a WWII 10th Mountain Division veteran. We start the story of the Division by including the 87th Mountain Infantry Regiment, activated in 1941, and the story of Camp Snelling where these men trained. The next episode will include a bit more 10th Mountain history, with guest Dr. Chris Juergens, whom Doug mentions several times, and both of these guests will be back to continue the story in the 1944 series.
