Things are coming to a head - Hitler is dead, and it looks like a German collapse is likely any moment - but the war is far from over. In Asia it looks like many things are only beginning… but even when that ends, we won’t be going anywhere. We will continue to satisfy your WW2 needs for as long as you’ll have us… there will be specials, mini chronologies, and even a new weekly long series. To not mention that Indy begins covering the Korean War on a dedicated channel on June 25 youtube.com/@KoreanWarbyIndyNeidell

Hitler was a typical HOI 4 player for his few final months. He didn't leave his bunker, he didn't breath fresh air, he didn't appear in public and he was literally Hitler.

Hear me out but... I think Germany is going to lose the war guys ...

I started watching when it was week 2 or 3. Time really flies...

This week, 81 years ago, my great uncle was killed in the Netherlands for stealing and spilling milk during the milk strikes there. 2 years later, the war in Europe came to an end. Thank you Indy and team for covering this war from literally start to finish.

Imagine not even holding half of your capital city when only a few years ago you had a continent spanning empire and still not considering surrender.

On May 2nd 1945, my grandfather, a Red Army officer in a self-propelled artillery unit, was wounded and concussed when his Willis jeep hit a mine near Prague. His driver died, he was wounded in arm, leg and head and quickly evacuated to a field hospital. When he regained consciousness and was lucid enough, he heard the news - the war was over. He began the war in July of 1941, volunteering for service alongside other Moscow State University students, first serving in the militia (opolcheniye), then as a translator (since he spoke fluent German), and then a junior officer (eventually rising to a rank of captain). He was hospitalized twice for illness (once because of pneumonia he got in the trenches outside of Tula in the winter of 1941, and a second time in 1943 though I do not know the details), once for being wounded (a fairly light shrapnel wound during fighting somewhere in southern Ukraine) and now just a few days before the war's end. He was luckier than most of his graduating class and fought through the entire war. He got to go home, married my grandmother; my uncle was born in 1948 and my father in 1956. He died peacefully in the spring of 1989. He was always proud of his service, attended every May 9 parade and comrades' reunion, and never ever spoke about the war. Thank god this war ended the way it did; I hope we never ever see anything like this war again.

Been here since 1915 what a time to be alive

My father was part of Armee Wenck, firing their last artillery shells to the East, hoping to give their comrades and the civilians enough time to cross the Elbe, then destroyed their equipment and swam to the West, to be captured by the US Army. He was 18. Only a few of his school class survived, his two older brothers were (probably) killed somewhere in the Donbas, no trace of them was ever found. He lived a long and good life after that. And taught me not to hate the russians, not to hate anyone and be wary of those, who want that we hate someone.

I've been a religious watcher for years and my family has sometimes come along by choice, sometimes I dragged them! Either way - this was a huge part of my life for the last several years, from the Great War, to the Interbellum Between 2 Wars Series, to this, and even Time Ghost and The Great War channel's coverage after Indy and Team moved to this. Astrid, Spartacus, Indy, Anna, ~and the rest~: thank you for giving me something to bond with, learn from, share, enjoy, and take lessons and parallels to today from. I will always treasure the memories of getting up excited on Saturday mornings to watch the new WW2 in real time. Happy V-E Day!

I think everyone are happy about this series that we have watched for almost 6 years !

This week, my great grandfather would be injured via shrapnel in the back whilst fighting with the Yugoslav 5th Overseas Brigade in Northern Istria. In 1941 when Germany invaded Yugoslavia he was too young to fight, but in late 1943 when Germany was starting to lose, he was forcibly conscripted into the Wehrmacht because Hitler saw Slovenia as German land. He was in a work camp in Austria until the 4th of June 1944, when he was loaded onto a train bound for the eastern front. By some miracle, the train did not work and his departure was delayed for a bit. On the 6th of June, the Allies landed, and his train which had at that time already been in Germany turned around and headed for the western front. As he was Slovenian and fiercely anti-german, he surrendered to the British in Normandy as soon as it was possible. He hadn't even fired a bullet for the nazis. The british which at that time had a lot of Yugoslavs as POW's since they were forcibly conscripted into the Italian/German armies decided that the men could go fight for the partisans in Yugoslavia if they so wished. My grandfather immedietly said yes, and became a part of the 5th overseas Brigade with which he fought from Split to Celovec. This week despite his injury he would still go on to fight and participate in the liberations of Ljubljana and Celovec (Klagenfurt). If he was still alive He'd be 100 years old this year

Truman's answer to Churchill and Marshall's comment really show how Americans saw the war as purely military exercise while Churchill and Stalin also saw the politics.

Lindy, your final comments this week are spot on. Thank you all for your hard word for memory, our Memory, the European Memory, will prevail in Europe.

I will admit I got a chuckle out of the "Heil me!" subtly worked into Hitler's communiqué at 16:42. So glad to have been a part of this series for so long. We're not done yet, but I'm very impressed with the series the team has made over the past few years.

From a short memoir my Grandfather who served in bomber command wrote back in the '80s: "Operation MANNA was literally food from heaven, whereby, after a truce with the Germans, food was dropped at certain agreed points in Holland. Dried meat, egg, milk, flour and sugar, packed in half filled sandbags, were stowed in canvas panniers in bomb bays, and opened by means of a bomb release. The food was dropped from a height of between 100 - 200 feet. It was very scary, flying very low and slow over the German guns which followed you around. We also dropped the crews' flying rations -chocolate, barley sugar and gum. I am sure that the operation "Manna" was the most happy part of the flying career of those members of Bomber Command who participated. It was nice to do something toward the saving of life rather than the necessary destruction which we had been doing. After practicing dropping those half filled sandbags from various heights, we floated low over the German gunners who followed us round, while we were completely unarmed. However, nothing happened, so we could sit back and enjoy ourselves. After all this time I have many very clear memories of the three flights, but I cannot remember which was which. Two of my memories still amuse me. As we flew in over Walcheren which lay under the flood, following the road marked by rows of dead trees, we came to Middleburg where we saw that one man, as each aircraft flew over, popped out of a trap door in the roof to wave a flag. Many crews noticed this but we could not agree as to which flag was waved. Various accounts mention the Dutch flag, an orange one, and a few said it was our Union Jack. It must have tired him out as each time he closed down the trap. I do hope he survived and did not offend the Germans, as it thrilled us to see this act of defiance. The other amusing thing happened when we were approaching our dropping point. You are aware that the powdered food contained in half filled sand bags were held in panniers comprising two blue canvas sides, joined in the middle by a bomb release, remotely controlled. In the incident I remember, when the bomb doors opened one pannier had come undone, spilling its contents one mile or so short of the target area into a field alongside a canal. On the far bank a man with a horse and cart was walking. As soon as he saw the food drop he stopped the cart, jumped into the canal and when he reached the food, according to the rear gunner, he executed a war-dance around the bags. I remember noting the time on the clock on the high tower as we floated across the great square of Delft, and onto the field between there and The Hague marked with the white cross. Most of the bags had landed safely but a few had burst. We made it a rule that we always dropped a parcel of our flying rations of chocolate, boiled sweets and chewing gum, attached to our home-made parachute with a label saying "For the children, God bless you", which we had managed to get translated into Dutch. We hope they got them. It is funny to think that those children are now in their 40fs and 50 Is. I should like to be assured that there is no truth in a rumour which was rife at the time i.e. that most of the food dropped disappeared in the black market and did not reach the needy people. Perhaps I am reassured about this by the fact that "Manna" still seems to be remembered with affection by the Dutch people. I cannot personally vouch for the following story but I was told it by a reliable person. Perhaps you already know that one member of the "Manna" team was Princess Elizabeth, our present Queen, who, as part of her night driving course, drove one of the heavy lorries bringing food to the airfields. On one occasion, so the story goes, she arrived at an airfield (I think either Chedburgh or Stratishall) at a time when the usual monthly party given by the aircrews to their ground crews etc. was taking place. All the A.T.S. drivers, including the Princess, were invited. The Princess had to be known as Private Windsor. She was alleged to have had a great time, completely unrecognised except by the senior officers, both RAF and WAAF, who had to spend a very sober evening, watching over their precious guest from a distance. I hope it is true. It would be nice to think that, for a short time, she got away from her royal role and enjoyed herself. FLIGHT SERGEANT ERNEST THOMAS ADAMS FLIGHT ENGINEER IN FLYING OFFICER DENNIS HILTON'S CREW 195 SQUADRON LANCASTER 3 GROUP BOMBER COMMAND WRATTING COMMON, CAMBRIDGESHIRE"

Given Indy's final words I was almost expecting him to say "Never forget" just like Spartacus does after every Crimes agains Humanity episode.

I remember watching when you released the very first episode in 2014 for WW1. What a journey its been!

With Doenitz being named Hitler's successor, I keep thinking about that Mitchell and Webb sketch about Doenitz. "In your face Goering!!!!"

Remember how Between Two Wars ended? Indy's passionate voice there, describing so well how the world came down with the madness, having seen what the Great War should have taught them and thought they should do it yet again but even worse.

On 2 May 1945, my great grandfather was with the 82nd Airborne Division as they liberated the Wobbelin Concentration Camp. He never spoke of his wartime experience but took to heavy drinking after the war. He passed away before I was born, drowned after getting caught in the lines of his lobster traps. I've had to piece together where he fought by researching his unit. Thank you to Indy and the team for shedding light on all aspects of this horrible war.

I’ve been watching you since 1916, and it’s honestly been great to see how thoroughly and thoughtfully you’ve covered both wars and the catastrophe they were. I knew this isn’t the end but to see it this far is something special that I haven’t seen anywhere else on the internet.

1914 to here. What a journey. Congradulations to all of you. This entire project is spectacular.

I remember that last year my girlfriend and i went for a walk through the Tiergarten. Strolled right through it west to east. We sat down at a tea shop right next to the park. It took me a while to notice that we where sipping our tea right above where the Führerbunker used to be. A beautiful summer evening and everything felt so peaceful. Somehow it was a very humbling experience. Today's episode reminded me of that day, and what this place has become. I am glad that at least for this little piece of earth, the war is now over.

Usually I watch these episodes the instant they appear on my feed, but this week I waited an hour before starting as the Netherlands' annual commemoration of the dead had its 2 minutes of silence at the exact same time as the premiere. I have been watching this channel for several years with my dad, to whom I always send each new episode when they are released. The past few weeks as we saw the movements on the maps progress and the war in Europe near its conclusion our thoughts wandered to my paternal grandfather. The details that have come down to us are sketchy (he died some 30-40 years ago from a stroke), but at some point early in the war he was sent east into Germany as a laborer; together with a group of other workers he sabotaged machinery and he was caught and sent to a camp. Eventually he managed to escape during an air raid and traversed the German countryside until he found refuge with a German farmer, working the land for him in exchange for being kept safely hidden. We wondered where exactly on the map he might be from week to week, as at some point in 1945 he joined up with the Canadians as they advanced. After the war he spent a few more years in the Dutch army as a sergeant until leaving in the early 1950s. His wife - my paternal grandmother - witnessed the bombardment of Rotterdam and is still alive today, well into her 90s.

That final comment about normalize the horror in small steps - Wow that was the best I have heard on how it happened....

You can hear the Cold War starting more than ever in this video.

When i started watching this series, i was finishing college, now i am finishing university next week.

The moment this went live was also the moment that we, in the Netherlands, hold our yearly 2 minutes of silence to honour the dead. So... Weird timing for us.

Did the magnetic sea mines win the war for axis yet?

I started watching this series around the time I started my bachelor's studies. During the entire time this series has been produced and shown, I've completed two degrees, served in an army and am now six months in a PhD program. It's insane how time flies!

My grandfather was in the Philippines at this moment in the war after having been in New Guinea. He would talk a bit about the war and after he passed I received his old mess kit with his memorabilia including his bronze star and telegram to his parents for it, which I wanted to excerpt: ...For heroic achievement in connection with military operations against the enemy near the Villa Verde Trail, Luzon, Philippine Islands, on 29 April 1945. The enemy opened fire with machine guns on the installations of a portable surgical hospital. Although numerous bullets were ripping through the canvas of the ward tent, Private Gonet, without thought for his own safety, assisted two other enlisted men in removing the patients to a safer locality. In spite of the extreme hazard he persevered at this task until all the patients had received protection...

Man, I've never been so proud to be a part of this channel. Just yesterday I paid my annual fee to Patreon. You didn't just deliver. You massively over-delivered. In everything: Production, editing, acting, investigating, quoting, and delivering. You guys (and girls) are inspiring. Thank you for everything ❤

This has been the best historical documentary series I've ever seen. Thank you so much to Indy, Sparty, and the whole crew for everything you've done. It's been an incredible journey and despite the horrors have enjoyed every minute of it. Much love to all of you.

Thank you for covering the start of the Borneo campaign. My grandfather served with the Australian air force in World War II. He was ground maintenance crew but his heavy (Liberators) bomber wing operated out of Australia and was bombing Borneo for the start of the campaign of all three subsequent invasions/operations. He will eventually be deployed himself to first Morotai en route to Balikpapan in July 1945. I’m very proud of his part. But also Australians forget to be grateful to the Americans. Takeaway MacArthur individually, the American navy and airforce gave the Australian Borneo landings some of the heaviest bombardments and firepower per division landing of the war, to make sure the Aussies landed safely.

You just have to tip the cap and say Bravo, 43 minutes of pure greatness, love all the very intricate details about what's going in Berlin, almost surreal that wenck managed to link up with 9th, either he's a very good general or the soviets just let him have it. What's even more impressive with this whole endeavour is that these guys are not even digesting this achievement and starting the korean war right away - we are not worthy!

I have been a WW2 history buff for almost all of my 60+ years; these Week-by-Week reports have gifted me a whole new prism through which to view those events. Stupefying to see the panoply of events that occurred during this week of the war. Must have been an amazing week to read the daily newspaper headlines. Concise, clear, and Great closing words by Indy. Thank You.

All I can say is this, thank you Indy and team for a decade of content, thank you. And I remember Hozendorf, if you know you know.

“When the flag of the motherland flies a top the Reichstag, all of Berlin will know that the evil of the fascist reich has been wiped from the face of the earth” - Sgt. Victor Reznov. 3rd shock army when he entered the Reichstag building and raised the soviet flag with Dimitri Petrenko. Wow, I have waited on this day so long since this winter and oh boy what an exciting, spectacular and at the same time so sad and such a tragedy of it all. I want to give all my respect to Indy and team for all interesting knowledge that you have showed for the almost 6 years☺️☺️

Thanks for mentioning operation Manna. That action saved many, many people. The part of the Netherlands that was still occupied had been robbed empty of supplies by the Wehrmacht, and could not be re-supplied due to the breakdown of the rail network, due to Allied attacks, sabotage by the Resistance, and command from the Government in Exile. In spite of the food droppings, some 20.000 citizens starved that winter / spring, and 30 years later dentists would still curse that period for what it did to the teeth of that generation. At least, I heard my dad's dentist blame the hongerwinter for the state of my dad's teeth. Without the food droppings, the toll would have been considerably higher.

Beautiful speech and fade at the end. Top notch episode as always.

When I came to this channel, The Germans were about to take over half a million Soviets prisoner at Kiev, that was September of 41, back then the episodes were around 14-15 minutes, now it's May 4, 1945 (2024), in 2 days is my 21st B-day btw, and the Soviets have taken Berlin and Germany is on the verge of surrender, and they are on average 25-27 minutes long, this one being 43 minutes. Man time does fly. I binged the Great War channel and then got caught up on this one al the way back when I discovered and subbed to you guys and since September of 41, I've been eagerly waiting every saturday for one of these masterpieces to grace my screen. My Grandmother has also been watching since about July 1942 (2021), she loves it. To Indy and team I say EXCELSIOR!

14:49 - 15:39, in my opinion, the most interesting bit where complexities of interaction during the end of the battle of Berlin are described in a fascinating way. Thanks a lot for such a informative and in-depth analyze, dear Indy and the whole team!

While I felt a bit sad Brazil didn't got as much coverage during these last weeks due to the bigger focus in the campaigns in Germany, it's nice to see we got remembered with the surrender of the Wehrmacht's 148th Infantry Division to us; One curiosity about it: Otto Fretter-Pico, the commander of the 148th, chose the FEB to be surrendered to due to the brazilian reputation during the war (with the FEB supporting the local civilian population, and being known to have a bigger respect of POWs between all Allied troops involved in the Northern Italy campaign); That led to Brazil being the only Allied country in WW2 to have an entire division surrendering to them.

An excellent episode chronicling the final battle for Berlin. We must not let this period of time be forgotten or rewritten by unscrupulous persons. This chapter of history must not be repeated anywhere in the world. Eternal vigilance. "We're going to have peace even if we have to fight for it". Eisenhower.

Crazy, I have been watching this every Saturday for the last 5 years roughly (invasion of France was 1st live episode I watched). Can't believe we are actually at the end of the European conflict. After watching this unfold in real time, it's amazing to me how quickly the allies recovered, went on the offensive, and forced 3 superpowers in different parts of the world to unconditionally surrender. Bravo allies and we sulut you Indy, Sparty and all the time ghost army team that have chipped in over the years and made this amazing channel possible! Thank you 😊 ❤

I watched most of the weekly episodes of WWI in real time and all of the WWII episodes. Such a great series! Congratulations to all who have contributed their efforts to make it a success....

2018 was both so long ago and felt just like yesterday. I’ve been taking this series for granted for 10 years now, it’s finally coming to an official end :(

This series is by far the longest and most riveting one I've ever seen including those on tv. It filled so many gaps in my ww2 knowledge it's not funny. It also corrected some of it. I'm planning to watch entire ww1 series in exactly the same way. Thanks everyone!

This series is a monument! Thanks Indy, team and time ghost army. Lest we forget.

is this the same Chuikov whos troops were holding onto the last few meters of Stalingrad such a short time ago? If it is how must he have felt having the German generals asking for an armistice in the ruins of Berlin?

Seeing everyone share their stories about ancestors involved in WW2 and how important this series is to them is really amazing.

I am a history buff for the World Wars. I have first watched a video from the German pendant „Der erste Weltkrieg“ back in 2018 at 13 years old, with a grandpa who told me many stories in the hospital. In 2020, during Covid, when I finally understood enough English, I have watched the weekly episodes from the Great War, and started watching your show regularly. I remember your episodes on Barbarossa, Stalingrad and D-Day. Man, time flies. I was in middle school back then, most people thought I was wierd because i know somuch about WW2. Now, at 19 years old, I have seen the end of WW2, and remember my Grandpa and his brothers which had to fight in this war everyday. I have graduated from school last week, and I am now able to study, which will help my career and my goal that there is peace all around the world. These four years showed me every week what war does to people, adding to the things my grandpa told me. Our generation is the last one which talked to WW2 veterans. Lets do something against war and dictatorship, thus honoring the heritage our grandparents gave us. I am German, so my ancestors had to fight for the Nazis, but they didn’t want to. They all just wanted peace. Some of them stood up and ended up being executed or in a KZ. Lets remember those brave humans which stood up against Nazism and dictatorship. We are now in charge, and we have the task to preserve peace, freedom and democracy. We can only achieve that by cooperating. No more brother wars, we are all brothers. Thank you for your job. Love from Germany to my friends all over the world!

My geography teacher at school was an RNZAF navigator on Lancasters. He told us about dropping food from their Lanc over The Netherlands. He said it was the lowest they'd ever flown on missions.

Finally! Some coverage on Yugoslavia :) My grandfather fought in the Battle for Trieste under Tito, really appreciate you covering it!

And on this day, very appropriately, there is no post-epilog channel housekeeping announcement. Because there is only one closing that would fit, the one that's Sparty's brand. But which is what Indy's final speech calls for, so it is up to us, to all of us everywhere to say it: Never Forget

It's amazing how after 5 years this channel still does not have 1 million subscribers. So many can and should be learned from these videos, it's a shame so few people are watching it.

I was glad that General Vasily Chuikov was mentioned again in these last couple of episodes. I love that name.

I got depressed when I saw 8AM tomorrow as start time.. Been waiting for this one for days 😊 Big shoutout to Indy & co, first time I am leaving a comment but I have been a follower since WW1 series, thank you guys so much for all the incredible content you have put out there over the years!

Another absolute fantastic episode. I am convinced that this whole series should be part of the school curriculum, it would enlighten the youth to the absurdities of war, and the effects leading up to fall outs between nations. again many thanks...

I'm going to miss this series more than anyone will ever know. 😢

Man it feels like just yesterday Chuikov was desperate at his position at Stalingrad and now look at this, we are im Berlin now. Unbelievable

This is a special episode for me personally. My uncle (born 1937) told me the story of my grandfather family in Berlin in 1945 when Soviets took it - no fun stuff, and so I will not publish any more details than this. Thanks for this extended video!

Never did i think id watch an entire chronological series from 1914-1945...crazy

Bravo to everyone involved in the making of this magnificent series. The closing monologue and fade out ranks with your finest moments

I've been following the channel since the very first weeks (I was very excited to know that there was a continuation from the IWW channel with Indy) and I am so happy that we have reached such a momentous event with the inminent culmination of the war in Europe. In 2019 I was working in my country of Honduras, some years had already passed since I finished my bachelor's degree. In 2021 I got the opportunity to study my master degree in Europe thanks to an Erasmus scholarship. I spent two amazing years in France and in Italy. And now I am starting a PhD here in France. I have to say that many things have happened in the span of these 5 years, a transformative span of time. And I am not alone in this journey called life; this just happens to be my story. Put into context, 5 years of war represent indeed a tragedy of the highest order. So many thanks to the team that made this possible, that did what could be otherwise impossible, to show the scale of this tragedy into a context that all of us can relate to.

Absolute legends you did it, 10+ years of episodes, week by week, describing every aspect of war in such a great detail. So happy that you guys did such a legendary work.

I been seeing each episode for almost 3 years now, it’s been a long journey, here from Spain, congrats! And to everyone who wants to know in depth everything about WW2, this are your videos, this is the series you are looking for.

I have never been more excited for anything then i am for the coverage of the korean war coming next after this series Oh my goodness how i long for all of the priceless information this channel and its team provides Thank you all so much A thousand kisses for you all

It feels so surreal the war is gonna end soon, it’s been a extraordinary journey with you Indy & gang ❤ thank you for everything.

My understanding of WW2 has probably more than doubled since watching this series. This is an area of special interest to me! Thanks!

This was, perhaps, one of the best episodes of the entire series. Bravo Zulu for this excellent production.

I'm stunned over the fact that the war was hopeless. Armies are cut off from Berlin and yet they keep fighting. Fighting with no hope. I don't understand how one can fight with no hope.

Hard to believe that we are finally here at the end of the war In Europe. I’ve been following you guys every week since the very first episode of this amazing series. I’ve loved every minute of it

I’m glad that you guys embraced the 40 minute video rather than trying to keep it within a certain time constraint

What a ride it has been so far. And the end is near. Thx to the entire team

Love the story of New Zealand and Trieste. It's always fascinating to me that these men from my tiny country in the South Pacific, about as far from Italy as you can get, are coincidentally responsible for an entire city being part of Italy today. It's also quite poetic that New Zealand essentially begins and ends our war in Europe in the same region, having initially deployed to fight the Axis invasion of the Balkans/ Greece. I loved this whole series and always made sure to spot the little New Zealand square as it moved around the map all these years. Remembering my great grandfather who served in "the Div" from North Africa until he was wounded at Sangro River.

Congratulations on this achievement. I know there's more to go, months more, but to have gotten this far is a monumental achievement. thank you for all of the amazing hard work and fascinating videos. And what a way to end the video, Indy.

As suddenly as it started, it has come to an end. Even though the war has not yet finished, thank you again for this coverage!

I’m curious as to your sources on your statement that “Borman killed himself”. Also, wanted to once again thank everyone who works on these videos. I feel that you all have contributed to creating the greatest documentary of all time. Thanks for all of your hard work.

My God i allmost forgot to light candles tonight. 😩 For my Grandad. Former RAF. Love you, miss you allways gramps. 😇

I'm very happy and proud to see all of the hardwork from the TimeGhost History crew. For almost 6 years, I joined you all in this journey, watching the series almost every week. Now, we are so close to the end. Thank you for all of the information given to us during this series, and I'm hyped up for the Korean War series! Also, as a Brazilian citizen, I would like to thank you for your work about Brazilian participation in the WW2. Thanks!

This was a doozie of an episode. Much appreciated for the work you & the TimeGhost team put into all this.

One of the great episode and I have seen many if not all. Thanks for your immense sum of work. Thanks for your truthfulness. Thank you for your courage, and thank you!

That was a massively fast collapse between January and now.

Been watching this channel since it began, and WW1 week by week before that. All of you do amazing work! Also, I can't get over the Heil me! in the Mein Questions letter at 17 mins.

It's crazy to think I've been following this since the beginning and now it's at this point... The end seemed to happen so fast, even if inevitable. The quality has only got better and better, by far one of the best historical based episodic series ever created on KZfaq, if not in general. You guys are amazing.

I hope there's an in-depth series about the war trials that followed the war

From Operation Barbarossa to the battle of Berlin...... What a journey we've been through..... Sacrifices, Daring and Cautious Campaigns, and lots and lots of death...... Really what a journey.....

„im Stich gelassen“ means deserted, betrayed by absence, not just left. As such the German surrender is quite critical of Hitler already. Do with that what you will, but I think it was a detail lost in translation here

Congrats Indy on getting close to 900,000 and even closer to one million. Love your knowledge of WW2 history. I've learned so much.

A magnificent effort guys. Thanks for all your relentless, diligent hard work. We appreciate it.

It feels so strange, I started watching you guys when I was still a teenager now almost ten years later the SECOND world war is almost over... Im looking forward to what you guys have next! :)

Brilliant video, great job to everyone involved in this awesome show, truest words at the end!

Been here since 1916. Did a catch up until 1940 and then, finally, I was updated week by week in real time. Man, what a journey.

I'm sorry but this series has to be the greatest thing ever to be uploaded to the internet. I wish there was some internet version of an Oscar for you guys- I've religiously watched from the beginning and am just blown away at what you've managed to achieve here. All I can do is say a very sincere, "thank you"..

This is it folks, can't believe it's really happening

Hitler: “Prepare my UFO bound for Hyperborea, I have a “You didn’t have to cut me off” video to film.”

Thank you for all your hard work putting this series together. It was an incredible amount of work and so well done.

Superb production & presentation. Thank you.
