From Here to History

DISCLAIMER! If you're listening to this episode, first, thank you! But second, this is an early episode. It was recorded and edited when we really didn't know what we were doing and our sound quality was very lacking. We've gotten a lot better at both since then so, please, bear with us! We're so glad to have you along.

When Germany and the USSR fought for Kursk in July 1943, they were facing off in the largest battle of the Second World War. The largest battle in human history, in fact. Chris and Jason team up to tell the story of this epic confrontation.  

In the first of 4 episodes covering the battle, we back up to discuss the origins of the Eastern Front. We delve a little into Germany's rationale for invading the USSR, how they planned for it and envisioned it playing out, and the state of the Soviet Union on the eve of Operation Barbarossa.

In our first effort (bear with us while we climb the learning curve!), Jason and Chris take a deep dive into the life of Marcus Agrippa. Largely unknown today, Agrippa was a crucial figure in the end of the Roman Republic and the rise of the Roman Empire. He was Octavian Caesar's military go-to man responsible for the victories that propelled Octavian to the ultimate title Augustus. In addition, he was the vitally important city planner who transformed Rome's landscape. But beyond that, he was also the emperor's best friend. Their bond endured intrigue, wealth, and power to stand out as one of history's greatest examples of friendship.
