Beyond the Call: Technical Sergeant Peter J. Dalessandro at Kalterherberg, 1944
Beyond the Call: Technical Sergeant Peter J. Dalessandro at Kalterherberg, 1944 follows a United States Army platoon sergeant through one desperate winter day in the Battle of the Bulge, as he rallies scattered riflemen, directs mortar fire from an exposed ridge, and calls shells onto his own position to hold a vital road junction. Listeners hear the human story behind the Medal of Honor citation, the tactical stakes around Kalterherberg, and reflections on leadership, responsibility, and care for the wounded. Beyond the Call is the Monday feature of Dispatch: U.S. Military History Magazine, and the podcast is developed by Trackpads.com.
