THE BATTLE OF GUADALCANAL: HELL IN THE PACIFIC AUG 1942- FEB 1943 Jan 26, 2025

Show notes

The land campaign on Guadalcanal The initial amphibious assault on the southern Solomons represented a superb coordination of Allied naval, air, and ground forces. Warships laid down heavy barrages to screen the approach of troop transports and carrier-based planes, and U.S. Army Air Forces bombers softened Japanese defenses. Landing craft took the Marines ashore at key points throughout the islands. The Marines rapidly secured a beachhead on Guadalcanal and captured the almost-complete airstrip that would become Henderson Field. They also seized the smaller islands of Tulagi, Gavutu, and Tanombogo. While the Japanese construction units on Guadalcanal were overcome with comparative ease—or simply melted away into the jungle—the defenders of Tulagi and Gavatu included elements of the elite Special Naval Landing Force (SNLF), and they fought desperately. The battle for Tulagi saw the Japanese garrison destroyed virtually to the last man; this would serve as a grim preview of later engagements in the U.S. campaign in the Pacific.

BEST OF (#48 of 504) HITLER'S DEATH-WHAT REALLY HAPPENED? Jan 24, 2025

Show notes

When Berlin fell in April-May of 1945 under the Russian onslaught, Adolph Hitler and his new bride Eva Braun, as the story went for years, committed double suicide- he by a gunshot to his head, and she by cyanide. The story continued that their bodies were carried outside of their bunker and set ablaze by their personal guards. For years the Russians kept the whereabouts of their corpses a secret, and conspiracy theories abounded. Some said they had escaped by plane or submarine to South America, Others said that Hitler's body double, not Hitler, was the body that had been burned. Author Robert Hutchinson with his new book The Death of Hitler, examines the evidence and delivers the true story of what happened to Hitler and Braun as well as the stories of the attempted assassinations of Hitler which came very close to ending his life and his atrocities, had it not been for what many call "the luck of the devil".

Just before that game, which would have clinched it for them, a local bar owner bought a ticket for himself and his pet goat only to discover that the goat, which he had brought for good luck, wasn't allowed. He demanded to talk to the owner, PJ Wrigley, who told him he could come in but the goat could not. Why, asked the owner. because your goat stinks! was the answer. According to legend, the bar owner put a curse on the team , saying they would never win another series as long as he lived. And the curse lasted until 2016, despite all kinds of efforts to break it. This is the story. Voice of Cubs legendary announcer Harry Caray at end.

Show notes

A four year-old boy in Oklahoma begins telling his mom all about his other life- that he had had four wives, three brothers and two sisters, and had lived in a big home with a pool, and literally hundreds of other details. He did not know his prior name- but he knew that he was in a movie and had danced on Broadway- so he and his mom began visiting the library looking for old hollywood books with pictures. They finally found his picture- but he was an extra in a 30's movie and in the book the extras were not identified. By this time hiis mom wrote to the University of Virginia to see if they could get some help from the past lives researchers there- and from that point on the story grows.

BEST OF (#46 OF 502) DUTCH SCHULTZ'S CATSKILL TREASURE Jan 10, 2025

Show notes

New York's Catskill Mountains have long been the place where legends abound. When gangster Dutch Schultz needed a safe place to bury a steel safe with gold, diamonds,and bonds valuing over $150 million, he and his driver Lulu Rosencrantz headed for the little town of Phoenicia, and finding a good spot next to Esopus Creek- that's where he left it. Soon after, he and Lulu were killed in a hit ordered by Lucky Luciano. But a police stenographer was with Dutch as he was dying, and his last words sounded pretty convincing.

By the way, if I sound a little out of breath I have good reason. The voice is coming back soon.

THE YOUNG BROTHERS MASSACRE: A BAD DAY FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT Jan 05, 2025

Show notes

On Jan 2, 1932, in a rural area in southwest Missouri, 6 lawmen were shot and killed and two wounded in a shootout as a groupof 11 sheriffs and deputies surrounded a farmhouse in which two or three well-armed fugitives were holedup. They were brothers named Harry and Jennings, and possibly Paul, and they were wanted- Harry for murder of a lawman, the others for operating a multi-state auto theft ring. Just about every rule in modern policing was broken- but this was 1932, it was a rural area, and police forces were basically just peacekeepers in farm towns in those days. They had lots of courage but little training. Inside the house were two brothers who had won area shooting contests for years, they had been in prison, and did not want to go back,

CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND: THE STORY WHICH IS SAID TO HAVE INSPIRED THE MOVIE Dec 29, 2024

Show notes

"Close Encounters of the Third Kind: The Incredible Story That Inspired the Spielberg Movie", tells of Project Serpo, a top-secret U.S. government program that arranged an exchange program with aliens that sent 12 astronauts to a planet 40 light years away with hopes of gaining insight to another civilization and their technologies. Inspired largely by a well-known physicist named Dr. Hynek, who had been the head of the classified "UFO Project Blue Book", and was hired by Speilberg and Columbia Pictures to advise the production of the 1977 film "Close Encounters of the Third Kind", certain story lines and scenes, such as the one showing 12 astronauts boarding an alien craft near the end of the picture, are said to have been very close to reality.
