The Battles of the First World War Podcast goes in-depth into the battles of the Great War of 1914-1918. The goal is to really go into the details of how and why these battles unfolded and happened as they did. In telling the narrative of these clashes we can revisit some of the stories of the men and women who lived, fought, and died during the first titanic struggle of the 20th Century, for these people have stories that deserve to be told.

Talking 28th Division AEF with Aaron Heft
Join us for a great discussion with Aaron Heft, currently serving as a SFC in the Army National Guard. Aaron works as a unit historian with the Army National Guard’s Leader Development program, where he uses lessons from the past to train and prepare today’s soldiers for the battlefield.
He joins us to discuss the American 28th “Keystone” Division in World War I, a unit of primarily Pennsylvania National Guardsmen of which Aaron is currently a member. This talk will not be exclusively about the 28th’s time in the Meuse-Argonne, so you will hear about some other battles and engagements elsewhere along the Western Front.
