This wasn't too bad of a show. It was mostly Glantz talking about the operations leading up to Stalingrad and how the Soviets did not retreat willy nilly or try to lure the Germans into a trap. I would have enjoyed it more if I wasn't explaining what was going on to my co-workers. I am really amazed at how little people know about WW2.

I lucked out. My current boss is a retired sub-driver. Yesterday, we had a great discussion about Kimmel and Short and the ramifications of Pearl Harbor.
