Title: Commanders at War Stalingrad and Kursk Vids
Post by: Shawn on August 17, 2010, 06:50:07 PM
First off, let me say a big thanks to the EF team.  You have made me once again addicted to COH.  Great work!

I thought you guys might enjoy these videos from last year's series Commanders at War on the Battle of Stalingrad and Kursk.  Excellent footage, discussion of tactics on both sides including infantry and armor, and reviews of weaponry used.

For those WWII nuts like me, I just visited the BoB Museum in Bastogne.  I highly recommend it.  It's a little dated, but has a lot of great authentic items like weaponry, armor, and clothing.  It gave me a new sense of scale for all of these things I have read and thought about.  It was also cool seeing the Belgian countryside and how small the distances were.

Enjoy!

Nice find, I think I caught the end of one of their episodes on Midway.

I need to start watching Military Channel again.

I dont realy like this series  ::)
They made a lot of mistakes.
One example: last week i saw the episode about the battle of the buldge where they had compared Generalfeldmarschall Model with General Bradly.
When they talk about the weapons they start to talk about the StG 44 and said that this gun was especial produced and first used at this german offensive!
There are much more details like this and because of this mistakes i dont like it.

You're wrong the Stg44 wans't first used in the Bulge. It's relative the Mkb(W)42 was given out in small numbers in 42', the MP43 in 43' and the Mp44 in 44', as StG 44 it was given out to units in Autumn 44'.
