One man survived both atomic bombs? A lost letter changed the course of America's war against itself. In this Wednesday Wild Card episode, we explore strange but true history facts, forgotten inventions, wartime survival stories, and unbelievable historical moments that sound fake but are completely real. This episode moves through ancient Rome corruption, Viking exploration, Civil War history, Annie Oakley, Hedy Lamarr, the end of World War II with the USS Indianapolis, Hiroshima and Nagasaki, How Post-it Notes were invented, and other hidden stories from history that changed the direction of governments and civilizations but are somehow almost completely lost to history. Fascinating. Weird. Dark. All of the above await you in this episode with astonishing facts, not fiction!","meta_description":"The fax machine existed during the Civil War?
