About This Episode: Adrian Carton de Wiart wasn’t just a soldier — he was a living legend. Shot in the stomach, groin, ear, hip, ankle, and leg. Lost an eye. Lost a hand. Survived plane crashes, trench warfare, and years as a POW. And through it all… he kept volunteering for more. In this episode of The History AI Podcast, Chuck and Marco dive into the unbelievable, true story of “The Man Who Refused to Die.”
From the Boer War to World War II, from the mud of the Somme to diplomatic missions in China, we explore how one man became a walking myth — and why his story still inspires soldiers and historians today.
Stay tuned after the episode for the debut of our original song: “The Man Who Wouldn’t Die.”
