Episode 79: Life Behind the Lines
from WW1: Not So Quiet On The Western Front! · host Dan Hill and Dr. Spencer Jones
When we think of the Western Front, we think of the trenches of mud, gunfire, and death. But there was another side to the war - the quieter spaces just behind the lines. In this episode, we explore life in those rear areas - the routines, the rest, the brief moments of humanity - and some of the choices men made in the face of exhaustion and uncertainty.
