Angus Wallace interviews William Hogan about his father Sam Hogan, who commanded a Sherman tank battalion from the Normandy bocage through the Bulge and into Germany — one of the youngest lieutenant colonels in the US Army at 28. The episode covers the hedgerow fighting, the desperate encirclement during the Ardennes, and what it meant to lead armour at the sharp end of ETO. Good personal angle grounded in operational specifics.
