  • @trueblue4034
    Verygood breakdown on this campaign. Keep up the great work here!
  • @JuveVinny
    This is a fantastic video. One of the best I've seen on this campaign, and I have seen a lot of them.
  • This is going down as top 2 ever greatest Stalingrad documentaries. The other being the Battlefield series narrated by Tim Pigget Smith, whom does a much better job with pronunciation of German words & European names. Anyhow, this one is much more current & utilizes excellent new technology in animation. The maps, diagrams, models, etc were the most detailed I've seen of Stalingrad. The 3D display is almost as good as a satellite image. Thanks a ton for loading this ! 5/5 Stars.
  • Holy mother of God! Your channel is pure gold. And you will never run out of stuff to cover. I am looking forward to it!
