The WW2 Grognard

My name is Charles Mercer. I have spent most of my adult life reading about the Second World War. This channel is what happened when my grandson William finally convinced me to do something with it.

I write the scripts. Will handles the production — images, narration, editing. We are still figuring it out.

The WW2 Grognard covers the entire war. Every front, every theater, every side. The generals who won and the ones who should never have held command. The decisions that changed the outcome — and the ones that simply cost men their lives for nothing.

Primary sources. No myths. No Hollywood. No mercy for bad research.

No ads. No sponsors. No narration by me — I tried. Will has been kind enough never to mention it again.
New episodes every Thursday and Sunday.
