HILF 78 - The Morale Corps with Robert B. O'Connor

“Entertainment Specialist” was the technical designation of what would later be known as The Morale Corps. This intrepid group of enlisted soldiers were responsible for finding joy in life’s darkest and most dangerous corners. To tell the story, Dawn is joined by author Robert B. O’Connor who wrote Jeep Show: A Trouper at the Battle of the Bulge. Hear how his novel weaves a lovely fiction among real history and makes the case for why we should all learn to play the spoons.—- SILF's (Sources I'd Like to F*ck)Book - The Jeep Show by Robert B O’Connor - https://jeepshowbook.com/ Here is the US military’s look on the battle on the 80th anniversary. https://www.army.mil/botb/ Surprise!
