EP52.5 – The Death of Donald Hoobler

Send us Fan MailDonald Hoobler, Easy Company stalwart, heavily featured in the miniseries Band of Brothers. There’s so much incorrect information out there about how he died. Between Wikipedia, guesswork, and the miniseries, it all contributes to the inaccuracy. Sit down with Joe for a quick hit episode that busts the myths surrounding the death of this extremely popular soldier. From his interviews with Company members, and the written accounts of others, Joe has assembled the most accurate description of the incident that felled one of 1st Platoon’s most reliable soldiers, one who David Webster said of, “He was the only person I ever met that thoroughly enjoyed war.”  If you'd like to become a Patreon supporter of The "We're Not Lost, Private" Podcast, check us out here: https://patreon.com/WereNotLostPrivatePodcast You can check us out on YouTube at: https://www.youtube.com/@WereNotLostPrivatePodcast If you like the pod, please hit like, subscribe and share!You can listen to us on Amazon Music, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and a host of other podcatchers.We're also on Instagram at: https://www.instagram.com/werenotlostprivate1944   and Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/WereNotLostPrivate   Support the show
