Outstanding work as always, Jeff! Very informative and well done!

Jeff's such a great presenter. This 1 1/2 hour episode went by in a flash. Well done all.

Hi Jeff, my sister and I met you and David Ridle near Fort Knox at tanker reunion about 10 years ago. We were there to find out information about my Dad, he never talked about the war. So glad we got to spend some time with you two and everyone. Loved listening to you today. My Dad was there, Sgt Winton Pflugrad, Tank Commander company C. Thank you so much for the information.

Jeff thanks for the comprehensive talk, rare photos, videos, and personal stories. WWII reminds me of the extraordinary gift we have been given. People like your grandfather have my endless gratitude. Woody, thank you as always.

A bit late in posting, but I so enjoyed listening to Jeff take us through the various stages of what the 765th Tank Battalion went through at Monte Cassino. I was so impressed that I ordered both of his books as a gift to myself. Inspirational authors and historians like him, and others is what keeps us coming back to this channel.

What a great presentation by Jeff!

One of the best WW2TV presentations to date! Mr. Danby's content was focused, detailed appropriately--not too much or too little--and he brought in the broader context when needed. I'm generally not one for small unit action topics, preferring much more operational-scale topics (David Stahel, Pritt Buttar), but Mr. Danby's presentation was compelling, and kept my interest right to the very end.

Couldn't agree more!

I really enjoyed that episode from Jeff. The detail, knowledge and passion he has for his subject is impressive.

Superb photos and maps...exhaustive research clearly done by Jeff. Well done yet again chaps!

Late, but found this interesting. Thanks to you both for the presentation 🇦🇺

It is nice to see some focus on the 34th division attack. Borne-and-raised in Minneapolis-St Paul so 34th is our local national guard unit both now and prior to WWII. My Uncle served with them in North Africa. It has been hard to find good information on the 34th. So much of the coverage on Monte Cassino focuses on the later breakout.

Sorry I missed this live. Wonderful show, well done gentlemen. The maps are superb with a mix of styes and contemporaneous sources. Remarkable photos. My neighbor when I was growing up in Idaho, Koz Kuroda, was a master sergeant in the 442nd. Specifically the 552nd field artillery. His future wife was in the Minidoka camp near Twin Falls.

Very sorry for your grandads loss.

Great photos, excellent presentations

I remember a few years ago arriving in Salerno, looking up at those mountains, that fold around the bay and city below like a Roman amphitheater, and saying to my wife, "what the hell were they thinking"? Now, I am starting to think that about most of Italy. They could have chose nearly anywhere in the Mediterranean to land.

It worked in Pulling german resources in other directions various like For a Russian offensive and in future the France landings in 2 locations

Maybe tanks and infantry are so highly trained separately that it's difficult to integrate them. Or to put it another way changing civilians into soldiers is such a task that tank infantry co-operation is a post-graduate level that few reach. I am a civilian. Soldiers are to be admired but I have not lived that life. I don't get the military life.
