  Tiger Bravo's War , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 652min

  Tiger Bravo’s War follows a band of young paratroopers, from the same battalion in the elite 101st Airborne Division portrayed in Stephen Ambrose’s World War II best seller Band of Brothers, during their first year in combat in the Vietnam War - from a bayonet charge in War Zone D and street fighting during the 1968 Tet Offensive, to a rescue mission of a surrounded platoon and rock and roll in the company mess hall, and much more. 30 of their number would be killed in action, and collectively they would amass a staggering 150 Purple Hearts. It is also about everyday life in a war zone and the strange, often harsh, sometimes beautiful, tropical environment in which the war was fought.Lastly, it is a soldier’s tale of the young men of Tiger Bravo - the son of a World War II Japanese fighter pilot, who wins a Silver Star fighting as an American infantryman; the tough kid from rural Texas, who leaves a job cleaning astronaut offices in Houston to volunteer to be a paratrooper; the medic, abandoned by his mother, who would find in Tiger Bravo the family he never had; and over a dozen more with their own unique stories. ungekürzt.

  Events continue to unfold on Aerth and Earth. WWII in Europe has come mostly to a halt, although Germany is, as was the case in that time, behaving badly. The United States has come to Europe earlier than in our timeline, fighting on the ground in France. Not against the Germans, but against the dead. The machinations of Hagirr and Elianna continue to wreak havoc on both worlds, and while the two powerful wizards are lovers, they do not always share the same goals. Harry, the British Infantryman who is just trying to keep his men alive, finds the burdens on his shoulders growing heavier and heavier as his body and moral values are tested. Irsu, legendary warrior of the Iron Mountain Clan, is banished into the Underways of Aerth, separated from the newlywed wife he loves and the clan he's risked everything for. As always, this is a serial novel series. I (the author) recommend you listen to the books in order or you will be lost. The novels are written assuming you have the information given in earlier books already in your head.The Dragons of DunkirkThe Secrets of AxumThe Men of WarLook for more to come! ungekürzt.

  To Hell and Back , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 484min

  The time is 1943, the place is Sicily, and the event is the start of the most remarkable career of any American infantryman in the war. Audie Murphy was a desperately poor eighteen-year-old orphan when he joined the Army, nineteen when he first saw a buddy die from an enemy bullet and an enemy die from one of his own. During the next two years, he fought in Italy, France, and Germany. By VE-day, he had killed at least 240 Germans, had single-handedly destroyed a German tank in one battle and held off six tanks in another, and had become the most decorated soldier in American history, winning every medal his country offered, including the Congressional Medal of Honor. Four years later he was living in Hollywood trying to get an acting career off the ground when he and a friend decided to turn his story into a book. Instantly recognized for its grim authenticity and its unblinking accounts of some of the most terrible fighting in the war, To Hell and Back became a best-seller and, in 1955, the basis for one of the most successful WWII films ever made, with Murphy playing himself. ungekürzt.

  Sixty Days in Combat: An Infantryman's Memoir of World War II in Europe, Hörbuch, Digital, 104min

  “The infantryman’s war is... without the slightest doubt the dirtiest, roughest job of them all.” He went in as a military history buff, a virgin, and a teetotaler. He came out with a war bride, a taste for German beer, and intimate knowledge of one of the darkest parts of history. His name is Dean Joy, and this was his war. For two months in 1945, Joy endured and survived the everyday deprivations and dangers of being a frontline infantryman. His amazingly detailed memoir, self-illustrated with numerous scenes Joy remembers from his time in Europe, brings back the sights, sounds, and smells of the experience as few books ever have. Here is the story of a young man who dreamed of flying fighter aircraft and instead was chosen to be cannon fodder in France and Germany... who witnessed the brutality of Nazis killing Allied medics by using the cross on their helmets as targets... and who narrowly escaped being wounded or killed in several “near miss” episodes, the last of which occurred on his last day of combat. Sixty Days in Combat re-creates all the drama of the “dogface’s” fight, a time that changed one young man in a war that changed the world. Language: English. Narrator: Don Hastings.

  We Regret to Inform You...: A Combat Experience in Vietnam - 1968 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 200min

  A moving, thought-provoking, and honest account of combat in Vietnam. The true story of the many challenges faced by an infantry company in 1968. It may well answer many questions you might still have since the hasty withdrawal of America from that troubled land.We Regret to Inform You... is a brief but accurate account of the trials and tribulations faced by our young men. The author touches on many historical events during 1968 including the Tet Offensive, for which he arrived in Vietnam just in time. He was at the air base in Chu Lai when it came under attack at the beginning of that offensive. From that experience, he moves on to describe the next eight months as an infantryman in the American Division stationed in the northernmost I Corps area. John also describes the relationships that naturally developed between the many young soldiers from vastly different social and economical backgrounds. He also gives an account of growing up in Roxbury, Massachusetts, in the '60s and how that influenced his conduct as a soldier in a confusing and distant land. Lastly, he tells of the strained relationships between the soldiers and the Vietnamese civilians that many times evolved into more positive and sympathetic feelings of trust and compassion. ungekürzt.

  Unsung Valor: A GI's Story of World War II , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 825min

  When drafted into the army in 1943, A. Cleveland Harrison was a reluctant 18-year-old Arkansas student sure that he would not make a good soldier. But inside 30 months, he manfully bore arms and more. This audiobook is his memoir about becoming a soldier, a common infantryman among the ranks of those who truly won the war. Harrison's firsthand account is the full history of what happened to him in three units from 1943 to 1946. He details the induction and basic training procedures, his student experiences in Army pre-engineering school, his infantry training and overseas combat, battle wounds and the complete medical pipeline of hospitalization and recovery, the waits in replacement depots, life in the Army of Occupation, and his discharge. Harrison's memoir describes training in the Ninety-fourth Infantry Division in the US, their first combat holding action at Lorient, France, and the division's race to join Patton's Third Army, where Harrison's company was decimated and he was wounded while attacking the Siegfried Line. Reassigned to the US Group Control Council, he had a unique opportunity to observe both the highest echelons in military government and the ordinary soldiers as Allied troops occupied Berlin. The book is published by University Press of Mississippi. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Don Moffit. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/047238/bk_acx0_047238_sample.mp3.
