Krotiak at Balete Pass, 1945 follows an acting squad leader from Chicago through the brutal fighting in the mountains of Luzon, where one split-second decision in a shattered trench saved four fellow soldiers at the cost of his own life. This episode weaves the story of the climb up Hill B, the chaos of grenades and small-arms fire, and the quiet courage behind his Medal of Honor. Listeners hear how his sacrifice helped hold a vital foothold, and what his example says about leadership, duty, and moral courage in war. Beyond the Call is the Monday feature of Dispatch: U.S. Military History Magazine, and the podcast is developed by Trackpads.com.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/DTcPOjfQmhqNXIEgIO0LxQo9jtX1rQ5snfqWmfq4SfM/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS82NzJi/OTIxZTAzMTE2NTMw/NTQ5M2VjMWY0NDI1/NjQ4OC5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
