A podcast designed to be easy to understand by kids like me, the creator. I will teach not only about the ridiculously well-known battles but the lesser-known ones as well. It is unfair that while we talk about D-Day and Pearl Harbor so much, we ignore much of the rest, including the vehicles and logistics of the battles. In the first season, I will talk about the battles of World War II from D-Day to the Bulge, Stalingrad to Kursk. Please listen to our first few episodes with an open mind. I was just starting off, and they weren't very good.
