Hi,

Thought this might be of interest to members, a nice mapping animation of German Army advance into the Soviet Union.

Thanks, yes, a neat visual potted history of the campaign. The rise and fall of the Axis in only 13 mins.

Yes, very interesting. Thanks for sharing.

I'll have to find the video I once saw, a "what if," it was about Hitler had left Europe alone and just concentrating on Russia, whereby the German forces would have been at maximum strength, with most of their military resources all concentrating on the Russian front. Russia may not have benefited from lend lease etc, etc. It probably would have made a whole difference to the world. And after the probable defeat of Russia, Hitler could then concentrate on Europe.

Luckily it didn't happen that way. And we have this bit of history to be thankful for.
