This week on What’s the Scuttlebutt Podcast, Don and Dennis sit down with LTC Tim Scherrer (Ret.) to discuss his new book, Do Our Part: The Tragic Tale of the Weldon Spring Ordnance Works.
Tim takes us through the history of the Weldon Spring Ordnance Works, from its creation and construction during World War II to the land management decisions and challenges that followed. He provides a detailed look at how this massive ordnance facility came to be, the communities and land affected by its construction, and the lasting impact the war effort had on the people who lived there.
It’s a fascinating look at a lesser-known chapter of the American home front during World War II—and a reminder that the costs of war are not always measured on the battlefield.
