This Week in U.S. Military History: May 5th, 2026–May 11th, 2026 traces a path from an audacious Revolutionary War raid at Fort Ticonderoga to the surreal joint stand of American and German soldiers at Castle Itter as Nazi power collapsed. Along the way, listeners hear how a presidential message pushes the United States into war with Mexico, how the Wilderness campaign in Virginia turns into a brutal test of will, and how the sinking of Lusitania nudges a once-neutral nation toward global conflict at sea.
The story then shifts to the Pacific, where the fall of Corregidor contrasts with the carrier duel in the Coral Sea, before the focus jumps upward to Alan Shepard’s Freedom Seven flight and then back down to the mud and controversy of Hamburger Hill and the high-risk bombing of Operation Linebacker. Each segment shows how decisions in cramped tunnels, on crowded carrier decks, inside jungle bunkers, and in early spacecraft shaped strategy, morale, and public opinion. This Week in U.S. Military History is the Tuesday feature of Dispatch: U.S. Military History Magazine, developed by Trackpads.com, and this episode invites listeners to hear how one week on the calendar connects very different generations of American service.
