Hey!

I usually don't write much more than a sentence when I post a video, but I'm going to make an exception today.

This is the first episode of CLS Prime since late January, and, as promised, I wanted to bring the show back when it made sense, with higher production value, to celebrate/examine something timely (in this case, today is D-Day's anniversary), and see if there was demand to keep CLS Prime around or not.

So, please watch the video, share it on social media media (if you can), and -- if you're reading this and you're not a Patron -- please consider joining up. Ultimately, the only way for me to know if this is a show worth doing every couple of months is if it "does well" both here on Patreon and on YouTube.

Feedback is welcome (so keep it coming!), but ultimately, the numbers will tell the tale, and while I'll never "cancel" the original show, it's going to go away for a more extended period of time if this episode -- which is longer than usual, was properly edited by a professional editor, etc. -- doesn't perform. If it does well, though, I'm aiming for August to do another episode. I already know what I want it to be about. =D

So let's see where things settle, and in the meantime, I thank you for your support, and hope all is well! -Colin

June 6, 1944: How D-Day Saved Europe -- Colin's Last Stand (Episode 63)

By June of 1944, it was finally time to halt Nazi Germany's conquest across the European continent. Doing so wouldn't be easy, though. Ending Adolf Hitler's Third Reich would require the perfect execution of the biggest, most complex, and most dangerous military operation in human history. This is the story of Operation Overlord.
