This is the first of the videos recorded during this recording session that only ends today. We’re still working on perfecting the result in the new studio, I’m trying my best to continue improving my presentation skills, and our search for the most comprehensive coverage possible goes on. I hope some of that is visible in the result. Thank you all for making it possible with  your membership!

I paid closer attention to your delivery this time and it sounded more natural. I do not feel that you have to emphasize the horrors of which you speak, the content will do that for itself. Your closing statement, with your signature “never forget,” flowed very naturally. I cannot image how you prepare to present, I have to steel myself just to watch. And I have worked in child welfare and have seen and heard enough. But in this time when there are those in America who would ban materials that might cause “discomfort” or distress, it is important that you remind us of what our species is capable of. If we do forget.

Sparty: your presentations of the very first WAH episodes did seem a bit tentative — as though you were warming up for something you weren't yet 100% comfortable with — but this anxiety was noticeably gone after only a half-dozen episodes, or so. During the time since this initial performance leap, your presentation has only grown better. We think you're fully on par with Indy, within the signature style which you've cultivated. We think either of you would be fine presenters of prime-time news on a national (or international) broadcast network — you are at least as good as the best who are in that business, if not superior. Honestly.

Technical note: the lighting of this episode is noticeably flatter than in previous episodes, and noticeably much cooler. The source from your desk lamp barely registers, anymore. We think this is a move in the wrong direction, as it has an effect of distancing viewers from your performance. The warm, high contrast approach from before, which used incandescent-temp lamp sources to shape the frame, drew viewers into a much more urgent focus...

Also: a little more photographic depth of field would be nice, if you could manage it. We're not sure what your location looks like post-renovation, but dimly lit set dressing along a the back wall, which is far enough from the foreground to be thrown a bit out of focus, would help spotlight your delivery.

The writing for this episode, along with Sparty's performance of the writing, is absolutely riveting. Overall, the sound design and mix are very, very good (good sound really adds a lot). One day, maybe each of these episodes could be combined, either in a linear or else a non-linear and interactive way, to form a total presentation of this topic. In the meantime, the next episode can't come soon enough for us. If we could binge watch these into the future, up until 1945, we would.

Spartacus I absolutely love your presentation style and believe that you are absolutely perfect for the grim subject matter being dealt. I am impressed by how humble you must be to ask us this given your age and credentials. If I were to ask anything I would ask that the episodes be even longer. I admit that I anticipate these episodes more than the weekly episodes with exception of major pivotal events such as the recent surrender of the 6th Army. Thank you so much for your hard work

Thank you as always.

As a long-time fan and a person from Eastern Europe I feel that you are not covering enough of how the Soviet GULAG inmates during the war lived or even more the home front of Soviet Union. Or maybe their existence was grim but compared to the victims of Nazis? You have people of Ukrainian background working for you. If not you could easily find collaborators from Ukraine, Belarus or Russia, who speak the local language.

Timothy Snyder's 'Bloodlands' is also an excellent resource in this area.

I take my hat off to you, Spartacus - a very difficult subject, and handled well.

It was cool seeing the mortar at 6:02 being fired. I'm buying a live NFA registered earlier variant of that weapon.
