The Courland Pocket 1944-45 FULL BATTLESTORM History Documentary

The Courland Pocket formed in late 1944 as Army Group North attempted to retreat from the Leningrad Region and the Baltic States. The Soviet Red Army trapped them in Latvia and lay siege to them until the end of the war. This documentary video uses maps and unit animations to detail the events on the operational level - because that's what BATTLESTORM is all about. Who's to blame for the way this battle turns out? Let's find out!

This is all the Courland videos placed into one complete video. Good luck to all of you who marathon this, and be sure to boast about that in the comment section below!

The script for this video was approximately 47,500 words!

Videos EVERY Monday at 5pm GMT (depending on season, check for British Summer Time).

History isn’t as boring as some people think, and my goal is to get people talking about it. I also want to dispel the myths and distortions that ruin our perception of the past by asking a simple question - “But is this really the case?”. I have a 2:1 Degree in History and a passion for early 20th Century conflicts (mainly WW2). I’m therefore approaching this like I would an academic essay. Lots of sources, quotes, references and so on. Only the truth will do.

This video is discussing events or concepts that are academic, educational and historical in nature. This video is for informational purposes and was created so we may better understand the past and learn from the mistakes others have made. #WW2 #History
