Excellent as always. Great storytelling.
Love the detail you manage to go into.
One of the most horrible features of war is that all the war-propaganda, all the screaming and lies and hatred, comes invariably from people who are not fighting.

Cheers Rico... would be sweet to turn each episode into a Combat Mission battle... LOL
It would be … always pity CMx2 never got a Barbarossa module 🙄

So true!
@fgmbootie ... and I was always disappointed CM never had motorcycle sidecar units, like those cool German early war types.

I will go look at it - I find the Eastern Front so very intriguing. A crazy venture that so very nearly worked initially with the Recon elements seeing the Suburbs of Moscow before they got dragged into a type of Combat they were not ready for!
Bikes are rad; but scooters are where it’s at.

Very cool -- new episode -- will head off to watch it today!

So this was the last video following the 291st Infantry Division for 10 days at the start of Operation Barbarossa.
I then put all the episodes together into one 1hr 20m long documentary.
I am now moving onto the war diaries of the 61st Inf Div who held the right flank of the 291st to see how they fared in the opening weeks.
Thanks for watching guys.
I have some catching up to do on these videos. 😎
