Who Has Who Surrounded?
The Soviet front around Kiev is crumbling fast. Over 40 divisions are cut off and surrounded. No help is coming and Stalin has forbade a retreat. Most of these men will perish, but the real question is, how many of the enemy can they take with them?

Kiev is Trapped
As Gen. Guderian comes south and Gen. von Kleist rushes north, if no one stops them, then Kiev and all its defenders will be trapped. Thus soviet troops along the Desna and Dneiper Rivers give it their all. Will it be enough?

Customer Reviews
Great podcast
Very detailed, gnitty gritty look into WW2. For those who want a deep dive.
My only complaints are the 10+ episodes on Churchill, probably one of the most overrated political figures in history, who didn’t really do much besides talk (an orchestrate a famine in India then laugh it off). So many WW2 documentaries are made by Brits who love to fetishize Churchill. There’s a reason the guy was immediately out of power once the job called for more than sounding bullish on the radio.
Would have rather had a deep dive on Stalin, the guy who’s country actually won the war.
Starts off ok…. Gets awesome.
Thanks so much for the great show
