A Corps Reborn: The New Mission After WWI

This episode closes the book on World War I with the moment Marines had been waiting for: the end. After years of brutal fighting, the armistice was real, and Marines on the Meuse were among the last to get the memo. Even as German officers crossed no-man's-land with word of peace, Americans were still taking casualties. We walk through the confusion, the celebration, and the quiet bitterness that followed. Then came the long march into Germany, the occupation, and finally, the return home. But not everyone made it back the same. This is the story of how the war ended and what came after.
