Since each and every one of them is important to somebody, if we do one we&#8217;d have to do them all, and there aren&#8217;t that many hours in the day to even attempt that. And that would also destroy the holistic nature of this series &mdash; i.e., presenting a week instead of a battle to illustrate the ebb and flow of the war and how everything is really all tied together. That we would not be able to convey if we made this series battle-centric. Having said that, we DO do specials that involve the planning, logistics, weapons, etc. for major offensives and whole campaigns, for getting into the minutiae of that is not possible in the regular weekly chronological episodes, and that is what you get today. I personally (and this is Indy writing this) believe that is really the major role of the specials, to flesh out aspects of the war we can&#8217;t cover in the regular series, but what do you guys think? <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Screenshot-2021-11-06-at-11-35-10-Is-the-Answer-in-Uranus-\u2013-The-Soviet-Plan-to-Win-at-Stalingrad-\u2013-WW2-SPECIAL-Quotulatio....png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Screenshot-2021-11-06-at-11-35-10-Is-the-Answer-in-Uranus-\u2013-The-Soviet-Plan-to-Win-at-Stalingrad-\u2013-WW2-SPECIAL-Quotulatio...-480x270.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"270\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-69678\" srcset=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Screenshot-2021-11-06-at-11-35-10-Is-the-Answer-in-Uranus-\u2013-The-Soviet-Plan-to-Win-at-Stalingrad-\u2013-WW2-SPECIAL-Quotulatio...-480x270.png 480w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Screenshot-2021-11-06-at-11-35-10-Is-the-Answer-in-Uranus-\u2013-The-Soviet-Plan-to-Win-at-Stalingrad-\u2013-WW2-SPECIAL-Quotulatio...-150x84.png 150w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Screenshot-2021-11-06-at-11-35-10-Is-the-Answer-in-Uranus-\u2013-The-Soviet-Plan-to-Win-at-Stalingrad-\u2013-WW2-SPECIAL-Quotulatio...-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Screenshot-2021-11-06-at-11-35-10-Is-the-Answer-in-Uranus-\u2013-The-Soviet-Plan-to-Win-at-Stalingrad-\u2013-WW2-SPECIAL-Quotulatio....png 854w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>World War Two Published 4 Nov 2021 Georgy Zhukov told Josef Stain in September that if the Red Army could just hold out until November, he could put together a counteroffensive that would defeat the enemy.
