Content

This week, the fighting for Stalingrad continues, but the Soviets forces are split and the Volga is on fire. In the Caucasus, the Axis forces for the most part are being held in check- at one point a single Soviet battalion holds off an entire Army Corps- but they're being pushed back on the Kokoda Trail in the South Seas.

On a separate note, we understand that many of you are not receiving email updates when we post to Patreon, and many others are receiving two or even three emails in a row each time we post. We are working on finding a fix for this and will contact Patreon support. In the meantime, we aim to publish each episode as close to 15.30h CET as possible on Mondays, Tuesday, and Wednesdays, so keep your eyes peeled around that time.
