As you notice the episodes are often longer these days, but there are still many details we just can&#8217;t cover in the weekly episodes for time reasons. That&#8217;s why we do our specials and also why we have our Instagram and Facebook feed with headlines of the war day by day. For instance, while we cover the Allied retreat at Thermopylae, Indy just didn&#8217;t have space to go into the details about how Australian and New Zealand forces hold back the <em>Wehrmacht<\/em> while the others retreat. That will instead be the topic of our post on Instagram \/ Facebook on April 24 here: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/world_war_two_realtime\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/world_war_two_realtime\/<\/a> and on the TimeGhost facebook page. We also dedicated the thumb to that event by featuring a soldier of the 28th (M\u0101ori) Battalion of the NZ forces, photographed in North Africa somewhat later in 1941 while doing the <em>Haka<\/em>. His unit was part of the rear guard at Thermopylae. <\/p>\n<p>And on that note we would like to acknowledge that we would never be able to do this massive endeavor without the TimeGhost Army and their financial contribution. Valantis who supported this episode by dedicating it to the Cypriots fighting for the Allies in the war is not only a member of the TG Army, he&#8217;s also a valuable contributor in our comment sections and volunteers his time to help us sift through and read every comment posted under any of our videos. So, in this place we would like to once again thank Valantis and the entire TimeGhost Army for keeping us in kit, supplies, and manpower to continue the good fight for remembrance and education, especially in these trying times.
