EARLY: The Battle of Kursk Part 2: And Firebombs!

I also think he referred to the Tiger as the mark 5 tank; the Tiger was the mark 6, the Panther was mark 5.

We aren't using Manstein as a source, nor did Dr. Showalter take his accounts at face value. (we made an entire episode about the clean Wehrmacht theory btw) however, using his accounts as well as the accounts of others (as well as soviet accounts) paints a very accurate picture of what occurred. There is also minute by minute accounting of the meetings they had with Hitler that show the other plans they had that Hitler changed, as well as acknowledging that any plans they would have had, also would have failed at that point and time.

Had to laugh at the unrealistically ridiculous amount of defenses the Soviets had built up - it just sounds like something made by a bored teenager with a whole weekend to kill and an "unlimited money" cheat code in a tower defense flash game

Any episode that features a Nazis going in to a wood chipper is gonna be a good one by me

I love this episode. I will say tho I think you said panther when you meant tiger. The tiger had the 88. Love your show

Imagining a guy on twitter being like “oh, you want to build train tracks??? Like the Nazis used for the holocaust?”

Sounds like Kursk was to the Soviets what Verdun was to the French: a killbox for Germans. Though I suppose many battles on the Western front could be described that way.

The fact of the Clean Train Track.
