Also, we wanted to share these behind the scenes image from our last shooting session. Can you name all the team members?

182 - Can the Red Army Capture Hitler? - February 19, 1943

The Red Army liberates both Rostov and Kharkov this week, but their advancing spearheads are close to an even bigger prize, Adolf Hitler himself. It is the Axis, however, who are both advancing and consolidating in Tunisia, and gearing up for new offensive actions next week.

Good episode as always guys. I'm glad you didn't seem to over focus on the battle of Kasserine pass as so much media has since the end of WW2. So many western media wanted to play up the comeback of the Allies in WW2 after the US defeats at Pearl Harbor, the Philippines, Wake Island and then Kasserine pass. But when things are looked at in the grand scale of WW2 Kasserine pass is just a minor engagement and set back for the Allies. Much greater defeats happened to the Allies on a daily bases from the invasion of Poland, the low countries, the fall of France, the massive invasions of the Germans into Russia and the Japanese invasions all over East Asia that they just all dwarf the engagement at Kasserine pass. Yes, the US troops there were fresh troops fighting against veteran Axis enemies so defeats like that were bound to happen. But media portrayals of Kasserine pass make it seem like the US never lost after Kasserine pass which just isn't true. For example, there were much greater US defeats in WW2 during the Battle of the Bulge which the US eventually won. But during the initial attacks during that battle the defeats that happened there were much larger then the small battle of Kasserine pass. And then on a second and unrelated note, is there any update on when we would be getting any more specials on the aircraft and small arms of each nation in WW2? I loved that coverage back during the Great War channel and it would be so much better for WW2 since the aircraft and small arms of WW2 are just so much more varied then they were in WW1. Each nation in WW2 has so many different aircraft and small arms it is just insane. You could literally make videos on each of them (not that anyone expects that). But covering the aircraft and small arms like you have done with the armored vehicles with Chieftain would be so amazing I think. I just really can't wait to hear about them myself. Also another special on how the Manhattan project is going would be another great idea for a special as well I think.

Good to see the staff back and hard at work.

If anyone in the "Hauptquartier" reads this, it's reaching a point where a catalog would be a help. For example, the post on naval infantry/marines which Indy mentions, as well as many other specials, aren't readily locatable except by accident.

Nice to see the staff at the back at work again!

Mark H Brady

Glad Indy has people backing him up again. And cute dogs.

Eric Johnson

You guys should do a special on all the SLANG that became popular during the war and that carried over to the civilian side as it came to a close.

The photography here looks really, really great. Great lighting, great composition, nice set dressing. Be careful about the background extras upstaging Indy, though — even a seemingly harmless move like applying make-up can distract… Great work though, overall.

You're really perfecting the new set! Great Episode!

A particularly excellent video. And now I think I'm finally providing funds :-) Many thanks.

It looks like the staff are 'swiping' and 'tapping' their paperwork. 😆

I'm enjoying seeing more of the team on set.
