Mid-January 1945
🕑 Added 2019-06-09 14:12:41 +0000 UTCDuring November and December of 1944 the the main force of the Red Army in Poland was undertaking extensive preparations for the Winter offensive towards Berlin, which would be launched in the middle of January.
At the same time a smaller southern force was continuing its advance in Hungary. With most of the front quiet, the Axis forces were able to strengthen their defenses there, which limited the Red Army's progress. In January the action was concentrated around Budapest, which was encircled by Soviet forces. The Soviets were clearing out the garrison of the city, while the Axis attempted to relieve it.
The Germans used the relative quiet on the Eastern front in order to attempt to encircle part of the forces of the Western Allies. Their attack had failed and by the middle of January they were being pushed back.

I'm curious. What do you mean by that in particular?

Yes yes yes! About that I can help you with my stuff, if you like!

Or north Africa... This time - on a divisional level.

I do indeed. It will be one of my next videos.

Just out of curiosity, do you have any plans to use the work you've done for WWII In Real Time to make a France 1940 video any time soon?

It could be done. I was thinking of using all of the data I had collected in making a separate 15 minute long condensed video. (Like I had intended in the beginning).

I hope when the series is complete you'll combine them all in one big video and smooth transitioning between the years, so I can sit back for 45 minutes enjoying this work of art.
