Triumph of the Dead and the Special Roles of Norman Women in World War II

In this episode, Dr. Kate Lemay talks about some incredible women of Normandy, risking their lives and safety to protect downed American aircrews. She also talks about the ways the French grieved the war, and how some may have hyper-focused on protecting American gravesites as a way of managing their own grief.
