    The hardest part about attacking Przemysl was making the soldiers understand what you were talking about when giving orders.
  • @ko1411
    I love the fact you added railways. It shows how crucial they were.
  • @rhysnichols8608
    Eastern front of ww1 is so interesting and overlooked. Tannenberg is a great FPS game based on the eastern front, it’s historically accurate and I highly recommend it to those interested in this era
  • @colbear2
    We are so back. Edit: Damn y'all really started an argument with my comment in 7 hours about a war not even mentioned in this video...
  • @talknight2
    It always blows my mind how every side of the war already had millions of casualties by the end of 1915 and the war was nowhere near over.
  • @BlameThande
    Great to see you continuing this series, it's such an overlooked part of WW1, and shows that the classic idea of immobile trench warfare from the western front didn't describe the whole.
  • @X.M_Mapping
    I love how you clearly explain wars like this, it helps me understand the campaigns more. Keep going through these masterpeices!
  • @mklaklaa
    Your pronounciation of Przemyśl is top notch
  • @McRocket
    Fascinting as I knew little of this part of WW1. Your description - as always - was great. And your renders are truly outstanding, imho. Thank you for perking up my Sunday. ☮
  • @Senor0Droolcup
    Love this channel to bits. So grateful for all of your hard work.
  • @FirstLast_Nba
    Still can't believe how many important historic events happened on the Eastern front in just the one year of 1915, which the history channels never mentioned for some reason!! With this just being the tip of the Ice Berg this episode could have been much longer if any of the major events were elaborated on further and the many turning points expanded on, but those are videos for another day. I'm sure nothing happened in 1916 - 1917 and it was very quiet on the "Eastern Front"........!!!
  • @wol06fi89
    Thank you so much for your great coverage of WW1. It's really good how you look at the forces concentrations for the offensives but they don't paint the whole picture. I'm not sure if it would be possible but could you also show the artillery advantage of the opposing sides as well as the manpower? Especially in WW1 the two main components of how strong your army was were men and big guns. The Central Powers' artillery advantage was the main reason of success in 1915 and the Brusilov offensive was so succesful because Russia had sorted out its ammunition production. A good source for these numbers is (as always) the Great War by Indy Neidell.
  • @davidpapp9192
    Again, great work! Thank you for this valuable addition to the story of the eastern front in WW1.
  • @Stephen-wb3wf
    This channel illustrates the story of conflicts bettter than any documentary with talking heads could. I've learned about WWI and II all my life. But I have a vastly greater understanding of the Eastern Front of WWI after this vid. I've been a huge fan since the WWII Eastern Front series... and I haven't been let down yet. Essential viewing for historians.
  • @bolinfan1519
    This perfect summary of the war is a godsend. Thank you Eastory!
