Each narrative is developed from a veteran's firsthand account using AI, then verified through a multi-step accuracy process that checks each script against the veteran's original testimony and the established historical record, with every revision made by hand by host Fernando Prieto. From there, every episode is narrated, recorded, produced, and brought to life by Fernando Prieto, with music personally selected by hand. While dialogue and narrative have been adapted for clarity, they reflect the veterans’ own memories and experiences. Any opinions about the war or its figures represent the perspectives found in the oral histories, not necessarily those of the host. Because these accounts are based on memory, certain details may differ from official records. Episode art is a US National Archives photograph chosen to match the episode’s theme. The circled area represents the veteran’s point of view; this is not a photograph of the soldier featured in the episode.Sign up for updates and info at povww2.comThis isn't just another history podcast—this is your chance to experience WW2 through the eyes of the men who lived it.POV:WW2 puts you in the boots of six American combat veterans, facing impossible decisions in humanity's greatest conflict.
