Having seized part of Blanc Mont and ground beyond, the Marines and Doughboys of the 2nd Division AEF sought to continue to push back the ruptured German lines. They faced days of unimaginable bloodletting as the Germans fought doggedly for every meter of ground.
Be sure to check out “Fix Bayonets! First World War Podcast,” where I have teamed up with Nicole Chicarelli of The War Project on Instagram and Cullen Burke of the Cauldron Podcast (A History of the World Battle by Battle) to tell the story of WW1 from three views: strategic, tactical, and most importantly…human.

Greetings from St. Louis, MO. I’ve been a WW1 “fan” from way back when I was a little kid in Illinois. I used to play army on the family farm and charge from a trench (a ditch next to a field) into a fort (a barn) all the time. The BFFWPC & Fix Bayonets have been extremely enjoyable podcasts for me to listen to. I’ve learned a ton from listening to these podcasts, and look forward to listening to more episodes. Thanks for all you do!
Hi Drew,
Thanks for the kind words! I tried digging a trench with my buddy when I was 14 or so, but man, it was A LOT of work. Your childhood sounds as imaginative as mine 🙂 !
Glad you are enjoying the podcasts, they are a pleasure to produce.
Best,
Mike
