I have watched about ten of these 30 minute or so episodes so far. Quite well done IMHO.

I am a history buff but not so much a military history fan but have read some books about WWII. There are 300,000 books on WWII out there.

I own many DVD great courses. My all time favorite is Foundations of Western Civilization II.

Now I listen on audible with my monthly subscription. Very cheap with audible.

I recommend Red Baron audiobooks on YouTube. They are free.

I have listened to the first person account of a German Soldiers experience in Stalingrad and a collection of stories of D-Day from a German Soldiers perspective, do you know that Ukrainian solders served under the Germans in defense of Utah beach. Or the Germans developed a aerosol bomb that they had deployed to shock and awe the Americans. Many great details in these audiobooks.
