On tonight’s episode of The What’s The Scuttlebutt Podcast, Dennis and I sit down with two remarkable guests: Dr. Monique Brouillet Seefried, PhD, and Colonel Jason R. Musteen, PhD, U.S. Army (Ret.). Together, they’ve brought to life a fascinating piece of military history through their latest project — the English translation of Général Louis Dio: The Wartime Epic of One of Free France’s Greatest Soldiers, 1940–1946. Originally authored by French General Jean-Paul Michel and Dr. Monique Seefried, the book chronicles the extraordinary life and service of General Louis Dio, a key figure of the Free French Forces who fought alongside General Leclerc from Africa through the liberation of France and into Germany. The story highlights Dio’s courage, leadership, and his role in shaping France’s military legacy during World War II. Our conversation explores the challenges and importance of translating and preserving this wartime narrative for new audiences, the deeper meaning of Dio’s legacy, and how history continues to resonate through their work.
