Germany invaded the USSR in June, 1941. In part 2 of our chat about the battle of Kursk, we sprint through the first 2 years on the Eastern Front. We chat about Stalin's blunder in ignoring all the signs of imminent invasion, Eastern Front atrocities, early German success with those big encirclements, Moscow, Stalingrad, and a whole lot more.

We have a good Eastern Front reading list there and you can keep up with news about our show.
Thanks, as always, to our sound editor, Grant Weaver
