The Germans booby-trapped Naples when they evacuated last week and local civilians now pay the price. In the Mediterranean, Kos falls to the Germans while Corsica is liberated by the French. There is action all along the Dnieper in the USSR, and the Australians advance in New Guinea, and the Japanese evacuate Vella Lavella in the Solomons.

Are the Germans really the mobile warfare geniuses that much of popular history suggests? In the Soviet Union in 1943, they are increasingly finding themselves outpaced and outmaneuvered.
And 80 years later those same places in Ukraine are being fought over again.
On no step front commander. I'm stuck.
The timing of this episode and the parallels with Crimea and terrorizing civilians is bonkers
you guys had something to do with the bridge, right?
a happy b'day to tsar vlad the intriguer/invader, right?
This channel has become so Sovietcentric it is losing my interest with increasing rapidity. Just so you aren't confused, watch the Kings and General channel's Pacific War series. The Australians, British, New Zealanders, and Americans are fighting too.
And now the Ukrainians are pushing the Russians out of the Crimes?
Indy's outfits are as much a part of the show as the script.
Those soviet sappers remind me of myself in hell let loose game
I remember my father telling me how the Nazis boobytrapped as much of Naples as they could. Pretty nasty stuff. You couldn't even go to the toilet without worrying about it being boobytrapped.
I know it was a few weeks back, but happy belated birthday to Indy!
Something seems strangely familiar
Someone touched up the eyes and did a bad job of it in the photo at 3:05. They look really strange 😅😅
Bewildering seeing these same names in the news in both 1943 and 2022.
3:09 min. faces looking strange.
not that it would make the victims on Wake Island feel any better but the Naval Battle of Vella Lavella was the last Japanese victory of the war. Indy didn't mention that
Hi Y'all,
Steel melts at 2600 degrees but loses strength at 1800 degrees. Here is a fun video.

Thanks, take care.
It's Rather eerie seeing the same towns and villages being bombed and liberated. People hoping that a war would not come there again. Yet 79 years ago the forces of Germany and the Soviet Union were at similar places and also fighting to liberate Ukraine.
"The Soviet Liberation…." of anything is a meaningless statement.
1:06–1:16 ; how times change
FYI, the 6 carriers in the Wake Island raid were the Essex class – Essex (CV-9), Lexington (CV-16) and Yorktown (CV-10), and the Independence class – Independence (CVL-22), Belleau Wood (CVL-24) and Cowpens (CVL-25). At that time this was the strongest task force in the Pacific.
The John Cunningham you have as pictured as C-in-C Med, is "Cats eyes" Cunningham. A NF pilot, hence his RAF uniform. 😁
the rhyme of history
spoongerlala spoongerlala spoongerla sylvester
"Did I say 'hurt the enemy'? I meant 'terrorize the local civilian population.' Those two sometimes get confused." Now THAT's timely.
Ironically, today the 8th of October 2022, Crimea was cut off from Russia by Ukraine.
Also Rhodes had small roads
For all the people pointing out the irony of the week by week almost be parallel with the current events in Ukraine just know that the Ukraine is one of the most contested stretches of land in history. People have and will continue to fight over it due to its location and many resources.
Hey WW2, what happened to the 2nd Panzer Army after the withdrawal of the Orel Bulge, I haven’t seen it on the map lately
October 8, 1943: Could the Soviets cut off Crimea?
October 8, 2022: Could the Ukrainians cut off Crimea?
Brilliant as always👍😀
the long term picture in 1943, shows beyond any reasonable doubt, that Germany will lose another world war in the same century.
Any reason casualties are talked about a whole lot less in the WW2 week by week compared to the WW1 week by week? Heavy losses get mentioned but seems actual numbers are used way less these days.
History never repeats itself, but it does often rhyme.
@16:49 And hence the problem with Germany trying to take the Soviet Union.
No long term strategic plan.
Just take territory and keep going. That works for a while but not in the long run.
Germany should have taken the Ukraine and then settled it like they said that they wanted in the beginning.
Did Germany even try to renegotiate a peace settlement with the Soviet Union?
Given the news, an uncanny coincidence.
The Dniper had been an obstacle that slow down the advance of the soviet army, the germans were successful to use it
Nice video as usual! However, i do miss coverage on the Russo-Finnish Continuation War. It seems that between 1941 and 1944 nothing happened in Karelia?
Really enjoying these episodes: documentaries tend to leave the eastern front after Kursk and you don't hear more until Bagration if you're lucky.
Operation Barbarossa was planned to take 4 months ending with the conquest of western and central Russia along the Baltic- Moscow- Caucauses north to south line.General Paulus(architect of Plan Barbarossa) and the overrated German General staff did not plan for what would happen if they did not conquer Russia and destroy the whole Russian army before winter,December 1941…when they failed ,that was the beginning of the end for Werhmacht.Russia also had some secret cards under the table….the divisions moved from the far east to Moscow,the T34 tank,Katyusha rockets and millions of men and women in the army reserves…read David Glantz,
Who does Indy talk to at the beginning of every episode? 🤔
My great-grandfather was a civilian construction worker on Wake Island when it was captured by the Japanese. He picked up a rifle and helped defend the island before it was captured and he was taken prisoner. He ended up keeping a diary that he hid from his captors that he used to keep a record of his time in the prison camp. It's amazing reading his story and how he was treated, how he made it through such a grueling situation. He survived through the end of the war and ended up returning to his home in Idaho.
Maybe this has been discussed in an earlier episode, but why do Indy refer to the Soviet reconquests in Ukraine as "liberation". It sounds a bit controversial to me. Especially since the the local population(the Ukrainians) was exposed to genocide just 10 years earlier by the Soviet regime.
And this guys is called FORECASTING
