As fellow Estonian, proud to see your channel is doing good and your collab with Time Ghost History is amazing, really helps to give the perspective how front lines moved turing the war.

[@RoyRogerer]

Mr. Eastory. I'll have you know I have been subbed to you for a while now, even before WW2. And I immediately thought of this channel when I first saw the maps in WW2 channel, and jumped with joy to realize you were involved. Fantastic work, and I must say this work is what makes WW2 channel so much easier to understand than WW1, as for WW1 channel I had to pull up google maps to see where the places exactly were. Also when the maps were later added, they were not as conveniently animated to really get a glimpse of the speed and scale it happened. Perhaps it is less documented in WW1 to draw such detailed map, but regardless, you raised the quality of what is already very high of WW2 channel. Thank you very much!

[@jmoreland4]

[@TimDutch]

Maybe they could check out your channel for that😁

[@attilakatona-bugner1140]

Even though the battle itself is important from dutch viewpoint, in itself it really eas just a sideshow, so with their limited resources (especially what they had back then) i think it was a good idea zo leave it out. Overall this period with the early stages of barbarossa are between the most intense part of the war, so i hope that when at the end they will make something to deliver a lot of important details missed in the rush.

[@tjokflots]

I wished it was. Very informative to see in-real-time on maps. Same wish for the attack on the Moerdijk-bridges, Dordrecht- and Rotterdam which spans four days. There is a lot written, but nothing really easily visualised.

[@user-wu2rb3bq6i]

This is awesome, brilliant work! Thank you. Something I've noticed though is that sometimes the division icons are disproportionately to the other, such as with japan and China. It might be due to the size and strength of the division, but that's debatable because french, german, Norwegian, and British icons were even. In tandem, it could be a combination of many division into larged groups to reduce animation costs. It's not that serious, but it might be misleading of the actual strength of the army. Thats all folks, thanks for reading!
