Unlike the approach in traditional Hardcore History releases, brevity wins out over depth in this attempt at short-form content from a traditionally long-form creator (note that it is still 50 minutes!) https://www.dancarlin.com/dc-donate/ https://www.patreon.com/dancarlin Thu, 19 Oct 2017 02:49:13 +0000 Dan Carlin Which Had the Superior Military: First or Second World War Germany? 52:08 no 46 upAzM5Mduvw https://youtube.com/watch?v=upAzM5Mduvw To buy the audio series for just $5.99 please visit: http://www.dancarlin.com/product/hardcore-history-ghosts-of-the-ostfront-series/ Part One covering the conflict between the Germans and the Soviet Union in the Second World War. Dan gives an introduction to the subject and discusses the causes and opening moves of Operation Barbarossa. In Part Two of the Ostfront series covering WW2 on the Eastern Front, Dan looks at the attempt to take Moscow and the many compelling stories surrounding the momentous1941 German offensive. In Part Three of the Ostfront series covering WW2 on the Eastern Front, Dan looks at the situation in the U.S.S.R. during 1942 and early 1943, including the dreadful Battle of Stalingrad. In the final episode of the horror story that is the Eastern Front the tale descends into unimaginable darkness as vengeance is called down on Germany. This graphic episode is not for young ears.

They can also be maddening. This is part of the attraction of Dan Carlin. Original and outside-the-box thinking on current events and history to be sure, but could he also be woefully out of step with conventional wisdom?
