In Episode #4 of Till Victory (a podcast about WWII and peace), British tank gunner Cecil Newton talks about landing with the first wave on D-Day, the special Sherman DD tanks he used to fight in, the day he was seriously wounded in Germany, psychological trauma and remembering the sacrifice of his brothers in arms - and especially of his own brother, who was shot by SS soldiers pretending to surrender, only a month before the end of the war.

 

Clément Horvath, French author of "Till Victory - The Second World War By Those Who Were There" talks in this new series of podcasts with WWII veterans and their families about their war stories, the heritage of World War 2 and the future of peace. Clément's latest book is the English version of his award-winning "Till Victory, lettres de soldats alliés", a best seller in France focusing on frontline letters from war-torn Europe, and the result of 15 years of research. The book is about to be released worldwide in October 2020 by Pen & Sword Books. https://www.tillvictory.com
