RO2 Incredible lecture on Russo-German war.

The origin is US Officer training. Presumably West Point. The lecturer is a brilliant historian who I am not familiar with. It's a little clinical, but if you pay attention to the details, some of the content is jaw-dropping.

The sheer scale of the Eastern Front boggles the mind! there were some interesting snippets in the lecture - thanks for the pointer.
