The Tanker Tapes The D-Day Tapes Once Upon a Tank... The Kassel Cassettes For You the War Is Over
A Bundle of History Sampler CD
We're looking for a few good ears
World War II turned the ordinary men and women who took part in it into great storytellers, and gave them great stories to tell, while at the same time causing many of them to keep those stories to themselves or share them only with other veterans -- those who had walked a mile in their shoes -- at reunions or in the VFW Hall.
These are their stories, as told to Aaron
Elson, who went to a reunion of his father's unit hoping to find veterans who
remembered his dad, and went back two years later
with a tape recorder. Since
that first reunion in 1987, he has
recorded more than 600 hours of interviews with veterans of World War II.
Some
of those interviews are now available in a unique series of audiobooks. These
include "The Tanker Tapes" and "Once Upon a Tank in the Battle of the Bulge,"
both excerpted from interviews with veterans of the 712th Tank Battalion; "The
D-Day Tapes," a series of interviews with veterans of June 6, 1944; "For You the
War Is Over," interviews with former prisoners of war; "The Kassel Cassettes"
about a spectacular aerial battle; and "A Bundle of History," a collection of
four unconnected yet equally powerful interviews.
