I'd like to share the contents of a couple of emails I recently sent to the friends and families attached to the project. Stephen Harding is busy conducting interviews on his books that will be movies, The Last Battle and The Castaway's War. See content below and watch for updates!

As always, I enjoy passing along news of people who have been involved in the STRONG project. Yesterday author Stephen Harding, author of The Castaway's War had an interview with Sarah MacDonald of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation regarding his earlier book, The Last Battle. Yesterday May 5th was the 74th anniversary of the battle at Schloss (Castle) Itter in Austria, where in the last days of WW2 in the European theater German soldiers and American forces came together to save the lives of French honor prisoners being held at the castle. They briefly discussed the movie about the event that is due to begin shooting later this year. For the entire 33 minute interview, click here: https://www.abc.net.au/radio/programs/nightlife/this-week-in-history-battle-for-itter-castle/11083380

Enjoy listening, and we hope to hear an interview in the future regarding the shooting of The Castaway's War!

I recently shared a link with you to the podcast of an interview Stephen Harding conducted with an on-line radio station, Australian Broadcasting Corporation. The interview was about his book "The Last Battle" and the siege at Schloss (Castle) Itter in Austria in the last days of WW2 in the European theater. Now Steve tells me that the same station is planning on interviewing him for "The Castaway's War" on July 7th!!! This will give him an opportunity to talk about the discovery of STRONG on February 6th by the crew of RV PETREL. I'm so excited and hope that at this time the film will be under way in Australia by Gold Circle. We'll see and I'll keep you posted!

The newsletter and information about how to sign up for the reunion in Savannah in September will be out very soon. Be watching for the news to hit your inbox!
