Today we dive deep with Peter Orlando, a Navy veteran from South Boston who played a pivotal role in World War II. From constructing artificial harbors for the Normandy landings to rescuing stranded ships, and even surviving a shipwreck himself. Discover how his French language skills bridged a critical gap between American troops and French command in occupied Austria. Join us as we unfold his heroic deeds and post-war life back in Boston. This interview was recorded on May 22, 2021, in Concord, Massachusetts.
