This animation covers the Eastern Front from 22 June 1941 to the end. It's detailed and seems quite accurate.

Cool... This could be useful as a visual timetable for games.

I like these animations because they show that often there was more than one thing happening at once. Also, although we know that often the front was basically static for periods of time before a rapid advance, these make that very obvious.

Thanks for sharing, really shows the exposed long and static front in the fall of 42 and how Germany lost the war in the winter of 42/43.
On this scale the fighting around Kharkov and Kursk lose their shine.

The early that many easily forget were infantry meat grinders.
Interesting to see the extend of Partisan operations.

...especially nice as there is no commentary, just a map with moving borders.

I would also share the youtuber Eastory and his world war map series

The sheer amount of effort on display is simply mind blowing.

Someone already has here a while ago. Yeah, his stuff is excellent. I think he has a new video out that I haven't got around to watching yet.
