概要

 Welcome to Stars of Sacrifice: WWII—the official podcast of Stories Behind the Stars.
More than 421,000 Americans lost their lives in World War II. Every one of them had a story worth saving—and worth sharing.


When a serviceman or servicewoman was killed in action, their family was presented with a banner bearing a single gold star. Stories Behind the Stars was created to ensure those stars are never forgotten by building one central digital home for the stories of the more than 421,000 Americans who gave their lives in service to our nation.


This national effort—researched, written, and financially supported by people who believe the fallen must be remembered—exists to ensure future generations can learn about the Americans who paid the ultimate price for freedoms we too often take for granted.


Stories Behind the Stars partners with genealogy and historical organizations across the country. Through Stars of Sacrifice: WWII podcast, we bring these stories to life on an audio platform—reaching younger generations, those who are able to dream because of the brave.

Press play, and step into the stories of those whose courage shaped the world we live in today.

    the story of First Lieutenant Axel Peter “Pete” Slustrop comes full circle — from a young man in Portland answering his nation’s call, to the skies over Europe in a Marauder bomber, to a final mission over Normandy that never came home.
    For decades, he was listed among the missing — a name etched in stone at the Normandy American Cemetery, joined by so many others whose stories were paused in midair. And yet, even time did not erase him. Decades later, fragments of metal, fabric, and memory brought him back into history, allowing his family — and ours — to finally close the distance between absence and return.

    2026/03/28
    1st Lt. Carl H. Hahn's story is one of steady service, quiet courage, and sacrifice far from home. From the small communities of Lancaster County to the skies over North Africa and Italy, he carried out the kind of missions that rarely make history books, yet were essential to victory. Flying supplies into danger and bringing the wounded back to safety, Hahn and men like him formed the lifeline of the Allied advance. His story woven into the larger fabric of history.
