The Invasion continues. And because we want to tell it right, we decided to make this a double length (20:21) weekly episode of our World War Two series, dedicated solely to the German invasion of Western Europe. We think that this is our best episode yet, as it combines top notch maps from Eastory, splendid editing work from Iryna and multiple revelations and busted myths thanks to Indy's extraordinary research and our roadtrip to France. About that, Indy says in the call to action that this first special about our roadtrip to France has come out. It will have by the time this video goes live on Saturday. Please let us know what you think of this episode!

Cheers!

The German Breakthrough in the West - WW2 - 038 - May 18 1940

The German invasion of Western Europe has been going for over a week now, and the Neutral and Allied countries are in disarray. The Netherlands, despite putting up fierce resistance on some occasions, faces overwhelming powers while Belgium, France and the British feel the pressure from an organised and armoured assault from the Ardennes. And still, the German tanks, soldiers and aircraft are not all the Allies have to fear, as many of their losses are caused by their own command.

Andy & team! :-) I was surprised by your characterizations of Guderian and Rommel - check out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOpQSUwF45w - it puts some perspective on Rommel's actions in these days (16th & 17th), why his division came to be called Ghost Division, and quite a bit possibly on his personality - "leading a division like a company commander" is a characterization used on his leadership in these days

Hey, I guess you already know by now but just in case, there's a typo on the Churchill speech transcript. "We have an ordeal of _he most grevious kind" https://youtu.be/DLN8NHXiMy0?t=1112 Great episode, I'm a (usually) silent watcher and I love you guys.
