Yep, i'm enjoying this series as its tending to cover things with slightly rounder setup. I've found the additional information with the maps really interesting. Especially the view from the hill in this one really cool.

Good overviews and the Korean war one should be good next week. I don't know very much about the Korean War and these programs give a good background as well as info about the specific battle.

Good episode last night, intersting seeing the area where it hapened on film, rather than maps or photos. Can highly recommend the book Stalingrad by Antony Beevor, fleshes out the story a lot.
