    Episode 514-Zhukov Arrives at Stalingrad
    Feb 24 2025
    Though Army Group B approaches Stalingrad, all does not go according to plan. Thus Gen. Paulus calls on Field Marshal Wolfram von Richthofen and his Fliegerkorps 8 to bomb Stalingrad for 48 hours. The destruction is terrible, still, the defenders will not yield. And while Marshal Zhukov readies Stalingrad’s defenses, Berlin starts taking men from Army Group South as they are needed elsewhere. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Covers what wasnt in my history courses

Well researched stories of what it was like for combats. The stories of Japanese Jugernaut early in war are eye opening. I cant wait for each new episode after binging earlier ones.

best in the series, loved listening to Murder

what are the best books in the series I couldn't put it down well actually yes I could because I was listening to it but listening to the horrible tortures and mutilations of the women as they were being raped from a woman's perspective I'm not going to lie to you, I was scared!

GOOD DETAIL ON WWII but needs to stick to subject

good detail but at this rate WWII will take 100 years. The narration is ok, but I wish he would keep his opinions outside of the subject of WWII TO HIMSELF. Lost me as a listener due to his asinine comments on "American health care sucks". He begs for financial help without disclosing, then makes asinine statements. Sounds like no insurance, and thats not his fault, it American health care's fault. I am done with him!
