Join historian and author Jeremy C. Holm as we discover the men and history of the legendary 11th Airborne Division in World War II, Korea and beyond!
In this podcast, we'll cover a wide range of topics including the division's stateside training, their campaigns to liberate Leyte and Luzon from Imperial Japan, their historic statues as the first Allied unit to land in Japan for Occupation Duty and more.
No wonder US Eighth Army's General Robert L. Eichelberger said of the Angels, "No one could have asked for finer fighting men.”
Jeremy is the son of 1LT Andrew Carrico who fought with the 11th Airborne in WWII. Utilizing interviews with the last living members of the World War II-era Angels, Jeremy has published three highly acclaimed books on the Angels and frequently travels to lecture on the 11th Airborne.
