World War Two
Published 25 Sep 2021Franz Halder, German Army Chief of Staff since the war began, loses his job this week, but the offensive this summer has failed to gain any of its objectives and someone has to take the blame.

Meanwhile, the Japanese are making new plans for a big offensive of their own, to take Guadalcanal once and for all.

“Steel Commanders” – Tanks and Panzer! – Sabaton History 106 [Official]
Sabaton History
Published 24 Sep 2021From the first landships of the Great War to the massive armor-battles of Prokhorovka and El-Alamein — the introduction of the tank to the battlefield had changed warfare forever. Impregnable to small-arms fire, they crushed barbed-wire and field fortifications underneath their tracks, paving the way for the infantry’s advance. In independent formations they surged forward at the head of the offensive, outmaneuvering the enemy’s defenses and wreaking havoc in their lines. From the Mark V to the T-34, from the Tiger to the Centurion — the evolution of armor is the history of Steel Commanders.
