Listen "117 - Hitler, Stalin, and Operation Barbarossa"
Episode Synopsis
Last episode, I said Hitler might have done better in the long run if he hadn’t had Germany attack Great Britain. Well, after that mistake, he decides to double down, and make an even bigger mistake. He is about to fall victim to one of the classic blunders - never get involved in a land war in Asia! Well, technically, he doesn’t get all the way to Asia, but he was trying to. Anyway, it’s going to be an even bigger mistake than not continuing to bomb the RAF bases in south and east England. And it’s going to lead to the biggest invasion in human history, the deadliest battle in human history, and the biggest tank battle in human history. And, the deadliest overall campaign in human history. So many people are about to die. Website: shortwalkthroughhistory.comemail: [email protected]
