EARLY EPISODE: The Battle of Kursk Part 1: Hitler Is Very Bad At His Job

I think you guys missed out on an intro song to this episode by not using Ljube's На братских могилах. Despite the band's number one fan being the Motherland's number one topless tiger catcher and dissident poisoner, the song is quite the banger. Hats off to you all the same for producing a wonderful podcast.

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this while re-playing the battle in Company of Heroes 2.

Logistics wins wars. The second the Germans started the war, they lost, especially since they had to steal most of their supply trucks, or use horses and mules. If it hasn't been done yet, an episode about Liberty Ships or the voyage of the SS Ohio to Malta would be interesting.

Im not sure i follow, how History brought putin to power.

Think its a rock version of the soviet national anthem

Loved this first episode. Without been an apologist for that kleptocratic cold blooded murderer Putin, the West would be much better in dealing with Russia if they did delved further into their history than watching “Enemy at the Gates”. Keep the “yes, well Stalin killed millions of his own people” out of it. That was like a family fight. When the neighbour comes to set your house on fire and kill your dog, you don’t say “that’s okay, my brother is a shit head”. You go and take a shovel to their head. Poor analogy I know but anyway… the Soviets lost 1/6th of their population killed in WW. Not 1 out of 6 men in uniform , but 1 out of every 6 citizens of the USSR. A Soviet male born 1923 had a 20% chance be still being alive in 1945. And you think the Vietnam war scarred the American psyche. That scale of impact is still alive today with a lot of memory of loss. Yet the West thinks the war was won on the Beaches of Normandy. Some humility on our part would go far in understanding the almost paranoia the Russian people feel about the West’s true intentions. We think we are the forces of light and freedom but they see our actions in the Middle East, Central and South American, Africa (it would be easier to list where the US hasn’t tried to topple governments and “nation build”) and have some well supported concerns. Again, history brought Putin to power. The least we can do is understand that history. Thanks for making this effort to do so.

"Accidentally ate meat" He sure had a lot of it shot in him in the form of hormones lol.

That subtitle could quite easily work for the entire european theatre

Whats the music at the beginning

You'll have to get Milo on for one of these so he can talk trash about Kursk

I hear the boxing analogy and immediately get Hardcore History flashbacks.

"2 boxers that have gone 9 rounds" reminds me of the crazy 19th century boxing matches that had no round limits.

I love the intro music for this one.

Hitler was almost as good at killing nazis as Stalin was

TANKS! TANKS! TANKS! TANKS!

The title is a bit ambiguous, Hitler was a terrible at many a job, Military leader, Diplomat, International statesman, painter and probably accidentally ate meat all the time too. I would love a bonus episode on the film "The Death of Stalin" it's hilarious
