I only discovered this channel 2 weeks ago… I have 6 years of all these episodes to watch!!!
How did I not not find this channel before.
Thanks Al and James for this. 👍
Side note… James (if you by chance read this) when will you be releasing your final book of war in the west 1943-1945?
The first 2 were awesome.
Cheers lads! 👌🙏🙏
Could I just add one thing, is that all right? I love your summary of how the Germans were getting high on their own success and therefore blind to the problems they were getting themselves into; I'd like to add that they're also high on something else. Soldiers, officers (not all, I assume) and, notably, Hitler himself, were taking drugs! They weren't thinking clearly because they were high on Pervotin, Heroin, cocaine, alchohol and much else. When you're in that state of mind, you're not likely to consider your own mortality or contemplate the chances of failure.
Having listened to the Unauthorized history of the Pacific podcast for years, I’ve got to say you guys
are hands down the top of the heap. Keep up the good work guys.

For the connoisseur of the historiography, this is not the way this is normally told.”
Would you also say that it would’ve been too normal to tell this story with some input from the Soviet side? You know, something beyond simply namechecking Stalin, Zhukov & Timoshenko?
I agree with James going to deep was ridiculous. Consolidation would of been the best option.
It makes 30 corps run to Arnham look completely doable. Rather than a road to far.
Brilliant episode again with lots learnt.
