The Missing Chapter Podcast

A Significant Roll

Imagine being in a war zone, frigid temperatures, explosions happening all around you, ammo is diminishing, food is in short supply.  You scurry to get to a radio and call in air support.  You need more ammunition.  You make the call, and the call sign is given to drop as many mortar rounds as possible so we have a fighting chance against the enemy.  We hear a helicopter hover over us, and thank God, here comes more supply.  The doors open and parachuting down, pallets of 60 mm mortar ammo come into our perimeter and we open  up the boxes and to our surprise, it’s not ammo.  Find out what was inside and how this mishap saved the lives of thousands on this episode of the Missing Chapter.
