Podcast Recommendation - Berlin Airlift Book Review

I just finished a highly recommended podcast interview with Andrei Cherny over at the Pritzker Military Library in Chicago about his book "The Candy Bombers." 

It is a great intro and overview to the history of the Berlin Blockage, and the remarkable airlift that changed history. 

While listening to the podcast it made me think a lot about what Dan Carlin over at the Hardcore History podcast likes to say about examining/studying/imagining one of those major "what if" time period scenarios in history.  By many accounts, if the airlift didn't work the "Cold War" could have been over (with the Russians controlling all of Europe) or radically different by the end of 1948.

Hello. I know that this may be off topic but I figured it is the best way to reach out to people. If you are over the age of 62 or if someone you care about is over the age of 62, Please send them to the link in my signature as it will truly help them understand the mortgages reverse process. I am a former loan officer. I have been in the mortgage business for 15 years. My blog is not intended to sell someone on the reverse mortgage. It is inside information about how the reverse mortgage works, and how much they cost. Again, I am sorry that this is off topic, but I fellt that the content was inportant enough to post here. This will prevent you or your loved ones from getting ripped off on a reverse mortgage. Moderators: Please do not delete this post as it is important.
