This week at TimeGhost we are welcoming a few new recruits to the TimeGhost Army! After the brunch club video last week and new channel promos there was an uptick in people arriving at the recruitment office. So please enjoy your first early episode, and Operation Uranus at that.

What was planned to come out after Operation Uranus was Operation Saturn. While we can't know if that will go through in its entirety, what we do know is that Indy and a few people from TimeGhost Army HQ are going to give special attention to this. We've partnered with Paradox to host a live stream where we will be playing that scenario out in just under two weeks time.

While the details are yet to be announced to everyone on our public channel page, as always we wanted you to be the first to know.

Willis "Ching" Lee was an interesting character. Check out Drachinifel's bio of him.

Pretty gutsy sailing on against numerous enemy ships with only an unescorted battleship. Almost foreshadows the Battle of Samar to come. Looking forward to your episode covering that one, too.

Are we going to see anything on John Basilone?

This is a good moment to share this: Robert Wyatt · Stalingrad · from the album: Nothing Can Stop Us 1982. Composer: Peter Blackman https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zk9IgZSXsAc ------ Hushed was the world And oh, dark agony that suspense shook upon us While hate came flooding o’er your wide savannas Plunging pestilence against you – All that stood to state: “Where men meet There meets one human race!” Therefore did men from Moscow to the Arctic Rounding Vladivostok to the South where Kazbek lifts its peak Still work and working waited news of Stalingrad And from Cape to white Sahara Men asked news of Stalingrad Town and village waited what had come of Stalingrad The tom-tom beat across thick forest While every evening at Palava Old men told of Stalingrad The gauchos caught the pampas whisper The windswept hope of Stalingrad And in the far Canadian north Trappers left their baiting for the latest out of Stalingrad In the factories and coal fields Each shift waited what last had come from Stalingrad While statesmen searched the dispatch boxes What they brought of Stalingrad And women stopped at house work Held their children close to hear What was afoot at Stalingrad For well men knew that there A thousand years was thrown the fate of the peoples Stalingrad, oh star of glory Star of hope, oh star of flame Oh what a midwife for this glory Take for the pattern Pavlov and his men A soviet soldier and his nine companions Who full seven weeks sleepless by night and day Fought nor gave ground They knew that with them lay That where men meet should meet one human race Carpenters who had built houses Wanted only to build more Painters who still painted pictures Wanted only to paint more Men who sang life strong in laughter Wanted only to sing more Men who planted wheat and cotton Wanted only to plant more Men who set the years in freedom Sure they would be slaves no more They spoke peace to their neighbours in tilling For in peace they would eat their bread Uzbeks, Tatars, Letts, Ukranians Russians, Muscovites, Armenians Who ringed forests wide around arctic Brought sands to blossom, tundras dressed for spring These kept faith in Stalin’s town We may not weep for those who silent now rest here Garland these graves These lives have garlanded all our remaining days with hope Stalingrad, oh star of glory Star of hope, here spread your flame Now when news broke that Stalingrad Still lives upon the banks of Volga That Stalingrad was still a Soviet town Then the turner flung his lathe light as a bird And the gaucho spread his riot in the pampas For this news of Stalingrad The tom-tom beat wild madness When the elders brought Palava these tidings out of Stalingrad The English housewife stopped her housework Held her child close and cried aloud Now all men will be free! And from Good Hope, black miners answered This will help us to be free! In the prison camps of Belsen Sick men rounded from their guards Now life was certain Soon all men would be free New light broke upon Africa New strength for her peoples New strength poured upon Asia New hope for her peoples America dreamed new dreams From the strength of her peoples New men arose in Europe New force for her peoples Once more they stand these men At lathe and spindle To recreate their hours and each new day Bid houses rise once more in Soviet country Men ring forests wide round arctic Move rivers into deserts And with high courage Breed new generations For still the land is theirs Uzbeks, Tatars, Letts, Armenians Caucasians, Muscovites, Crimeans Still they speak peace to their neighbours at tilling To all the wide world And men come near to listen Find by that day of Stalingrad That this voice is theirs Then Red Star spread your flame upon me For in your flame is earnest of my freedom Now may I rendezvous with the world Now may I join man’s wide-flung diversity For Stalingrad is still a Soviet town

Maybe do a whole episode if you can't pry your way away from the other theatres for the Country that defated the nazis.

The whole world is striking back against the Axis

The Section from 6:04 to 6:47 is really done well! Great video material to support the tremendous supsense. As Uranus has just began it is clear that there is not much insight yet on what Paulus has to think on that. Did the Axis realize what hits them from the start? Hope that is part of the next Episode.

There's a square in Paris, Place-de-Bataille-de-Stalingrad. So you can get off at a subway station: Stalingrad.

Are there any special episodes planned for Germany's allies on the Eastern Front? I feel like the capabilities (or lack thereof) of the Romanian, Hungarian and Italian army aren't particularly well known and it would be interesting to have a look at them in more detail, especially seeing as they're a factor in the success or failure of Uranus. In any case, keep up the excellent work. :)

Hitler: we must take the city! Stalin: this is Soviet Russia. In Soviet Russia, city take you.

Thanks! Makes me think of the Rzhev poem (though much sadder) by Alexander Tvardovsky.

Massive week! I'm curious to know what it would have been like to be one of the Russian soldiers desperately fighting in Stalingrad. How was communication between them, their leadership and then the main army behind the lines? Would they have known about the counter offensive?
