The so-called forgotten year of WW2 sees the Allies push the Germans out of North Africa, Sicily, part of Italy, the Atlantic, and smash the Wehrmacht backwards from the Volga and Kursk in Russia to the Dnipro in Ukraine while Allied bombers begin to relentlessly bomb the Reich itself.

Great presentation on an area generally lightly covered. Half way through and will continue tomorrow.
Small calender point, action in North Africa, Moscow, Stalingrad, Coral sea, Midway, Papua NG, and the Solomons largely set the stage for inevitable AXIS downfall during late 1942. 1943 seems more like the Act 1 curtains dropping, and intermission, before Act 2 (1944) began.
Outstanding documentary. Thank you for sharing.
Love the work! Y'all are legendary for the historian community!
I'm really glad y'all made this series! But also… PLEASE may we have a crumb of new Napoleon content?!
Great video, I'd love one about the turning point being the Moscow Counter-Offensive. An in-depth look at the shattering of german forces along the front that lost them the war and sent them back reeling.
I like this but it is a things that go bang turning point world view. While military success is important in determining a turning point its not where the turn happened. Take Russia and the battle for Stalingrad its the development of weapons systems ,factories, training of troops and myriad other things that enabled the successful battle of stalingrad that was the turning point. The battle was the cumulation of those things. Not enough attention is paid to logistics and the business of getting ready for war. Its a things that go bang world view. I still really like it but the pointy end of the spear is the cumulation not the cause.
Not forgotten thie well done ✅
Excellent video with great research and facts and figures of casualties and equipment. A definitive keeper. Thanks
Dam they said America was Britain's Italians that's the most disrepectfull comment I've ever heard.
Another great presentation but it seems to fall into the typical western versions of the war by underplaying the Soviets immense impact on the outcome.
publicity every 5 minutes… dam…
Stalingrad and Moscow was the " Meat grinder" that destroyed the German army! It was the insane " Ideology" of racial hatred that was the other reason when they wasted so much resources and manpower as well as destroying so much potential in their Concentration Camps and Labour camps
Any chance you could make a video on commando actions during the war from beginning with the raids on the occupied Norwegian wale oil industry to the end? Probably even cover both sides, like the Brandenburgers and the German use of special SS para units against the Yugoslavian partisans.
Jesse THE narrator with a master of oratory and a man with ethics. Outstanding effort as usual from all your team mate .
Outstanding video. But 1942 was the turning point, not 1943. Midway (June), encirclement at Stalingrad (October), El Alamein and Torch (November) and Guadalcanal (August onwards) meant that by the end of 42 the Axis had no chance of victory, though that was not yet obvious.
Britains Italians – ooch !
No, the turning point was in the winter of 41/42 when the German army was repulsed at the gates of Moscow.
Fantastic ! Kudos to the whole team !
