Episode 97 continues the Battle of the Bulge series of episodes that began with Episode 94: A Battle of the Bulge Primer. Every day beginning Thursday, December 16th, we're releasing a new episode commemorating the 77th anniversary of the Ardennes Counteroffensive.

This episode, episode 97, tells the greatest story from that fight. In fact, this may be the most inspirational story in the American World War II experience.

This is the true story of Roddie Edmonds, a Christian and an American Soldier who protected American Jews under his care while held captive in a German prison camp after his unit was captured during the early moments of the Battle of the Bulge.

This is a story that has inspired millions in Europe, Israel, and the United States. It is a story that earned Roddie many posthumous awards, decorations, and international recognitions, including Righteous Among Nations, a revered titled bestowed by the State of Israel on non-Jews who risked their lives during the Holocaust to save Jews from extermination by the Nazis for altruistic reasons.

Roddie's son Chris, who uncovered this story after his father's death, joins host Joe Buccino to describe his father's remarkable example of love and valor.

This is a podcast episode every American should hear.
