Show 18: Enemy at the Gates: The Battle of Stalingrad part 1
Stalingrad. It’s a name we’ve all heard before. It’s a showdown between two totalitarian systems and a battle that sent millions of people to the grave. Can you even imagine millions upon millions of men at war? Think about it. In our show today, this tragedy will take place in your ear drums, will desecrate your speakers. It’s beyond entertainment, though it is that. It’s beyond history, but it’s that too. And before you listen, know, there are no words in human language to describe the tragedy of this show – the limitless suffering. All I can say is thank you for joining us for another episode. Thank you for taking the time to listen and to hear about the darkest corners of human capacity. Solzhenitsyn said, “The line between good and evil runs through the heart of every man.” Press play and I will take you over the line and show you the evil side in your heart, and my heart, and all of our hearts. It’s all for free and it’s all on Battlecast – the world’s foremost podcast about war and its sociopolitical impact.
The drink this episode is Green Mark Vodka – 4 bullets out of 5.
