Rick Atkinson ‘The Guns at Last Light’ Video Series – John K. Waters and the Hammelburg Raid

Pulitzer Prize winner and best-selling author, Rick Atkinson (An Army at Dawn, The Day of Battle) offers another “sneak peek” in our series of videos for the final book in his epic “Liberation Trilogy,” The Guns at Last Light.

Speaking from the Museum’s own Guests of the Third Reich: American POWs in Europe exhibit, Atkinson tells the story of John K. Waters and his connection to General George Patton’s ill-advised raid on the Hammelburg prison camp.
