90k subs goal reached, 10k still to go

Yesterday the Eastory channel reached 90 000 subscribers. This is awesome and it also means it is the time to begin the work on the 100k milestone special video. I hope you like abandoned Great War era fortifications, because that is what it will be about.

1942, Autumn - Fall Blau

Having seized the initiative, the Axis forces began Fall Balu -  the operation to capture the Caucasus region. Not everything went by plan, however and the Red Army forces pulled back without much resistance, not allowing the Germans to encircle their forces. This left Red Army disorganized.

1942, Spring - Battle for the Salients

In the summer of 1942 both the Red Army and the Wehrmacht planned to conduct a major war-winning offensive. The question was, who would be able to seize the initiative.

Winter 1941/42

BattleGif: Second Battle of Kharkov

In the early summer of 1942 the Soviets decided to make several local attacks to weaken the anticipated Axis’ attack towards Moscow. In the Ukraine thy planned to encircle the German 51st Corps and take Kharkov with a two-pronged attack. The attack began on the 12th of May and managed to gain some ground, but unbeknownst to the Red Army, the Axis...
