This week however, the war drastically changes as not three but four Neutral countries are invaded.

This is the week that many have been anxiously waiting for (how did they know something big was going to happen). We have some great episodes coming up, which are like this one only as great as they are because of the amazing effort that our team puts in creating them. As is very apparent in this episode, Eastory&#8217;s maps take these videos to the next level. Every week we&#8217;re stunned by his level of detail and the amazing value that is added by these maps. As the war enters a new phase, so do we. Next week will see the first of our roadtrip to France specials going live as well as the longest weekly episode we have written up until now.<\/p>\n<p>Cheers,<br \/>\nJoram\ufeff <\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>World War Two Published on 11 May 2019 As the Allied troops in central Norway are evacuated and the Norwegian troops there surrender to the Germans, the Allied position around Narvik is still quite strong.
