In this episode I'm joined by now-Major Jonathan Bratten to talk about the Engineers in WWII. We also talk a bit about his grandfather's experiences during the war, and occasionally get sidetracked talking about Doctrine then and now.

In this episode, Dr. Ben Schneider returns to continue the story of military justice, and it's limitations, in the US Army during the Second World War. We mention the Biscari Massacre, which was discussed in an episode with MAJ Darren Johnson, and also the first episode on this topic, so links to both episodes are below.
