Barbarossa has been launched last Monday, and this week we see how the events that follow after the 22nd of June 1941. We want to thank you all for your amazing comments, reactions and support on and of the Barbarossa episode. We're very happy with the result and the reception – we're proud on the video and on our community.

We already see that, as the war becomes less niche, more people are finding our videos, and we wanted to thank you - the ones that were with us during the Invasion of Poland, the Winter War, Phoney War, the Battle of Britain and the Invasions in South-Eastern Europe, for your amazing support! None of this would be happening if it wasn't for you!

Cheers,
Joram

I hope you will mention the battle of Dubno-Brody, the largest tank battle so far.

I love how you underline the use of Partisan tactics by Soviet Russia, I'm proud for my Slavic heritage while watching them sustain woods ambush tradition <3.

Many thanks to Indy and other guys, who made this video from Russians. It’s very emotional feelings about those first weeks of the invasion for me , I can’t ask questions about digits and plans. But I hope British intelligence was really helpful for our Red Army in that tragic time))))

7:39 "Also, by the end of the first few days the Germans have been forced to face the reality that the new Soviet armor, the KV-1 and the T-34 tanks, is clearly superior to their own." ... "The appearance of massed Soviet tanks led by the previously unknown T-34s and KV-1s stirred panic among the German panzerjaeger anti-tank units as they watched round after round bounce off the Soviets' inpenetrable armor." LOL

I really like the Fly's cover of that hit by Molotov, https://youtu.be/dcl_vavnZQ4

It almost happened this episode when you had a smash cut from German road issues to Asia, but can you please do an episode that focuses on how poor the roads were everywhere that wasn't Western or Central Europe? Too many people look at the Japan China war and think that the Japanese should have just walked over China as Japanese forces were usually victorious in straight up engagements, but that ignores how dependent Japan was on the limited Chinese rail network.

Thank you for these special episodes about operation Barbarossa. For me personally this touches on some very emotional strings. I think most Western Europeans have no idea of the ferocity of this campaign and the suffering and destruction it brought to the people of the Soviet Union. This was the quintessential total war. I'm glad you already mentioned the partisan movement, and hope you will in the future also cover the substantial part played in this struggle by an enormous number of Soviet women, many in active combat roles.

Good Call - We tend to overlook the huge developments in road infrastructure across the whole world since WW2 which so revolutionised how we now live and trade. There were few decent roads or decent road networks anywhere, Britain and USA included, up to the 1960s with areas without railroads being particularly isolated. Here in the Republic of Ireland we only started building motorways to properly connect the major towns from the 1980s and it is still a work in progress!
