Tactical Talk with Allison Barrie

Hear this astonishing discovery firsthand. WWI is often associated with trench warfare, but today’s guest has uncovered that beneath these trenches, hidden deep underground are cities that the soldiers created. While the horrors of trench warfare raged, these secret cities became refuges from the brutal trench fighting above. Dr. Jeff Gusky, a modern day explorer, uncovered these sites that have remained hidden, unseen, unknown for more than a century – until now. The coordinates remain a secret to protect the legacy of these soldiers, but today’s episode hooks you up with special direct access. Dr. Gusky is going to take you on a personal guided tour. Once quarries where stone was carved out of the ground to build the castles that dominated the landscape, these ancient sites were adopted and converted into hidden havens for soldiers on both sides. Don’t miss Gusky revealing some of the other secrets he unearthed down there. He explains how he learned the identities and stories of those who served down there and then tracked down the families still alive today to share. Don’t miss his discovery about Native Americans over in France and other unknown stories of heroism from the Great War. With the 4^th of July around the corner and this being the WW1 centenary anniversary, this is a very fitting and fascinating episode honoring those who fought for the USA and the values it holds dear during the Great War.
