ABOUT TIK 📝
History isn’t as boring as some people think, and my goal is to get people talking about it. I also want to dispel the myths and distortions that ruin our perception of the past by asking a simple question - “But is this really the case?”. I have a 2:1 Degree in History and a passion for early 20th Century conflicts (mainly WW2). I’m therefore approaching this like I would an academic essay. Lots of sources, quotes, references and so on. Only the truth will do.
As a viewer has just pointed out, there's an editing mistake. The date in the corner doesn't update and stays the 31st of January. Sorry about that. Obviously the 6th Army surrendered on the 2nd of February.
Salute !
I think a reupload might be the best choice while its not too late
Lol. So many possible mistakes ... and yet ur videos are premium quality. Anyone that watched ur series should be given a Master Degree in "1942-1943 Stalingrad History". U being the professor of course.
20:19 - Yes, the two buildings are similar in style but clearly _not_ the same. The Executive Commitee Building has an extra balcony, on the third floor, while the Univermag Department Store's two "towers" are deeper and significantly taller. Thank you for an exciting episode. Your Stalingrad series is a masterpiece. DOn't stop till it's complete. Cheers from Denmark.
@konstancemakjaveli I don't think this particular error is worth a full re-upload. It is what it is. Obviously if I decided to do the three "all-in-one" videos for this series, I'll correct it there.
I like how the last official message from Stalingrad is a meteorological report and he just signs off like a shopkeeper closing up for the day.
Poor translation. Original in German is much more somber. I.e. meteo station is closing down (for good) , and we are sending (our last) greeting to fatherland.
Germans are terrible at emoting somberly
At a nice balmy -25F
Victors sure love bastardizing history, somber indeeed @@aleksazunjic9672
Just like a BBC Closedown and at 29:20 the 22nd Panzer Division left Gast's Pioneer Battalion behind.
We need to throw you a massive party for this colossal accomplishment. You worked like such a madman on this that you deserve your own Get Out of Jail Free card.
probably equivalent work worth of 2x PhDs 💪
Right? The quality and output of original history content is more than almost anyone . If he’s also making these maps and editing everything on his own that’s incredible
Yep.
I second this, can we set you up for a meal or party to celebrate?
I say at least 50 get out of jail free cards for this hard work.
Only real ones stayed until the end
Its been like Christmas every time they have been published. A magnificent work.
Yep!! I've watched the entire series multiple times!! Can't wait for all 50 in one episode!!!
How could anyone not watch the lot! It makes my Mondays
Yes, my battalion surrendered last.
It is the Gulag for us.
Very interesting episode today. My aunts husband was one of the 40'000 or so soldiers that surrendered and survived. Sent to a GULAG for many years, he finally came home after being declared MIA and KIA. She opened the door, saw him standing there, turned around and said "you have to leave now" to her new husband.
Side note: As a kid I played chess with him, and he had some strange GULAG-only rules, and was a master at using his Knights. First game he won easy, the next I sacrificed everything to get them both, turned out he couldn't play without them, and he surrendered (again).
@@MrNPC is meant that the new husband had to leave. Embarrassing situation, indeed ;-)))
Do you have his name, by chance? Of course, it's none of my business.
@@wolfthegreat87 you don't seriously believe this story do you?
@@sah1746after the last part of the story i very much do
@@sah1746 I'm generally optimistic. If I can get a name, I can search the archives and see if what he's telling me is true.
I went back and started watching from the beginning. It's amazing the difference between the start and now. So much more polished presentation.
Thank you, I'm glad you think that - I do too. This has been a massive learning curve for me
I will do that, thanks for the idea. It is years since I watched the early episodes. I was very impressed back then, and I am very impressed now. I am eager to see the difference.
Dang what a twist, I really thought Paulus would pull it off
Great work TIK 😍
BRO SPOILERS
If only Steiner had followed orders.
If madman Hitler had promoted everyone in 6th army to field marshal, they would have been unbeatable.
@user-os1gu5qb3c Tim Curry be like "Nazis!"
As much my old-fashioned self adores books, this video format is clearly superior for the story you wanted to tell. Being able to narrate over the interactive map is a paradigm changer.
I totally agree! It's so much easier to see what's going on rather than trying to keep it all in your head as you're reading the books
Wow, thank you so much for the hard work, TIK! Your videos are of higher detail than any other WW2 military historian I could find on youtube.
The end is here, you made it, congratulations, I doubt anyone will match the quality and detail of this epic exposition of one of the greatest military operations of all time. Might even have been worth your suffering getting it done! ;)
high quality stuff TIK
It's hard to believe it's finished, but congratulations and I know how hard this was!
I believe there is one more episode, number 51, where the northern pocket surrenders.
What a stunning series, we're seriously lucky to have you TIK
One of the greatest sagas of youtube military history comes to an end. Thanks for all of your efforts.
It's not over. There's one more episode
This was quite the achievement TIK, 50 episodes of riveting story telling that got me hooked since the beginning. One of a kind!
Dude this is BEYOND EPIC work on your part TIK. I’m a YT premium user and this series is saved to my phone so when my internet goes out (happens a lot sadly) I can still watch these.
You deserve a freaking medal for your hard work. Have a great day man, you deserve it ❤
I am just going to say, the meteorological station being the last is the best. Makes it sound like they were doing the best job of anyone there. Keeping us updated on the weather to the last. Way to go man.
I'm wondering where that weather station was actually positioned to last those extra hours.
Probably nobody told them until it was plainly obvious and they just went "Oh well...".
German weather reports were regular daily transmissions (roughly always at the same time). They simply used the opportunity to send final greetings . Btw, translation is not very accurate, perhaps because it is not possible to translate nuances of German language to English
I think the Met Office will be the last to fall when Britain is overwhelmed by extraterrestrials/zombies.
Or Muslims @@windalfalatar333
I remember back when you had just started this series, it seems so long ago now. You've come a long way Lewis
Can't believe its ending after 3 years
The End of the Legend! 50 Episodes! Amazing!
Well done TIK! This series has truly been a piece of history. Thank you for your detail and dedication putting this together.
This series has been a companion for most of my PhD. They are both ending around the same time. I feel sad and joyful.
Damn, that's profound. All the very best for the journey ahead!
This is it. The end. I started watching this series in Grade 12 and now I'm in second year culinary school. Thank you TIK for forging on with this mammoth task.🤟
Based.
Thank you for all the hard work and dedication.
Stalingrad series is a gem!
Cheers mate!
This series will certainly be used to educate future generations, and your findings will one day be appreciated by larger institutions and most historians. Magnificent work.
Probably the best available source in English language in video format for esp. the lesser-known aspects like the battles in the Don Bend. In addition, an excellent and novel analysis of elements like the supply airlift and the Manstein half-truths around the relief efforts.
Congratulations on this MASSIVE accomplishment. I would have never ever imagined that it was possible to produce such an in-depth video series about this epic battle. I salute you!
Thanks for the hard work!
2:56 crazy how the Croats held that circle. They probably had no idea that East to them was another pocket.
Quality stuff. Love it. Will be patiently waiting for everything regarding Stalingrad 🥳🥳
Thank you Sir for seeing this to the end, its been a master piece, watching it from Nairobi Kenya
Beatiful and very well-done series. I appreciate you using Soviet & Russian sources too to provide a full and unbiased picture.
The madlad actually did it. 50 Episodes. Epic
Your conclusion that Goebbels wrote the message from Paulus to Hitler on the 29th-31st is the most logical answer. Great series TIK.
I think something people overlook is that with supplies running so low (to noneexistant) in the 6th armies, in this cold weather batteries and fuel for generating electricity to maintain communications would have been... Near impossible? This would have made communications ever less reliable, especially since the distance to the nearest possible relay-points had increased considerably as well.
So perhaps that explains the telegrams being sent out much slower than they were dated?
It's just an idea put forward, knowing communications equipment of those days a bit myself.
Regards,
Thomas
Kind of sad this is coming to an end. It’s been something to look forward to for such a long time. A tremendous effort!
Thank you so much TIK. The best documentry series I've ever had the pleasure to watch.
Grant would be proud and in awe
Damn auto type I ment to say Glantz would, d be proud
17th season...
It's been a hell of a ride.
Thank you for painstakingly, and with long suffering finally finishing the most detailed Stalingrad documentary currently available.
I can’t believe it’s almost over. What an accomplishment! Take a bow brother! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
THANK YOU for the countless hours you poured into this series. It stands alone as the greatest Battle Documentary In the history of UA-cam, possibly just the best ever. Period. A new bar has been set. Congratulations 👊🏻🙏🏻
Thank you ,TIKhistory.
Loved this series and learned so much. Couldn't the battle have been said to last until March 15, 1943 when Kharkov(Kharkiv) fell ? It ended back where it started on June 28 1942. Would love a high level coverage of how the Germans escaped from the Caucuses.
It's finally over! Or is it?!?
Congratulations! Thank you for giving us this amazing series. It is a great accomplishment.
Can't tell who's more relieved, the germens who were about to surrender or TIK being almost done with the battlestorm.
24:50 "Commit sudoku", a nice touch
I was here when the best documentary of ww2 came to its glorious conclusion.
TIK you are a gigant.
I truly believed that the last "stalingrad message" would be a big thanks from you and afterward would have come the meteo forecast
great works for this series, congrats
They said it was over. *But is that really the case?*
They obviously didn't watch the last video ("What's coming after Stalingrad") where I explained there were two episodes left
😂😂😂
@@TheImperatorKnight I did! And like a good attorney was asking a question I already knew the answer to
Tik, we could practically smell the gunsmoke. Thanks much for this deep drill-down on Stalingrad. I'm satisfied I know the battle better than most military historians after watching your series
Been a great series learning about the details of the Stalingrad battle.
I can't describe with words how proud of you I am @TIKhistory
Fantastic work on this series. Thanks for your time and effort.
Extraordinary work Tik. Thank you very much!
Thank you Tik for your endless dedication
Great work! Haven't missed an episode.
We're finally here! Congrats TIK. An amazing project this series is.
Thanks TIK and co.
TIK, I am so glad you finished this. I read so many books and none of them ever brought this battle to life like this. It has seriously changed the way I envision the Second World War, the eastern front, warfare in general. That’s how comprehensive it is, that is is so revealing.
I’m proud of you for finishing this epic.
there is no way to tell this story any better. what a masterpiece
Phenomenal work!!! TIK IS KING!!!
Wow that was enthralling. Thanks fir posting
Awesome. This was a massive undertaking and I loved every video. Congrats.
Thank you, Professor. It was a very educational series.
Congratulation on a wonderful work. This Battlestorm has been a bliss to follow.
This was such a fantastic high-quality series. I salute you!
Amazing accomplishment, TIK. Thanks so much.
Well done. Excellent work. This will stand for many many years.
An incredible piece of historical work. Thank you for your dedication.
Excellent series, well worth the effort and many thanks !!
What an epic achievement! I've spent the past two weeks re-watching this entire series looking forward to today and it was so worth it! Thank you for managing to hold on and finish this excellent series!
Bravo TIK! Quel travail!
Thanks TIK, another great video! 🙏🙏
Another excellent video. Great job.
I am impressed by the meteorological station sending one last report before shutting down. I wonder if any of them ever got home.
The final weather report, minus 31C, brought home to me the contribution of cold to the hell of Stalingrad. I experienced minus 20 once, in Canada, and that was mind numbingly cold already. -31C on starvation rations is unimaginable.
Thank you for your massive efforts and delighted there's one more episode but can't wait to watching it all over again in full.
Great video, thanks very much for making.
Epic work. Thank you for putting so much work into this historical material - this is a very important documentary.
Thank you for your hard work, I will miss the anticipation for the next Stanlingrad episode...
An awesome episode. Thank you for all your hard work. Been binge watching the series this holiday weekend. God bless you TIK. Amen.
Thank you so much! Best historic series i ever seen!
Thank you for the tremendous effort and commitment to bring this to an end. Well done sir!
Incredible job, Tik. Truly astounding.
What an amazing achievement this series is! I've been an avid student of the battles on the Eastern Front for over 40 years now, and yet there was so much new info and perspective here that I feel I only scratched the surface.
I have an operation coming up after which I'll need to rest up for a couple of weeks, and now I know 'exactly' how I'm going to occupy my time!
This was a fantastic journey. I'm glad I could have witnessed it and wait for the videos on Mondays. Watching then was one of the best part of past 4 years.
Thank you, Lewis, for this amazing Battlestorm and a huge effort. All I can say is that I have watched every minute of the series.
Congrats TIK. This is history in the making. What a wonderful job. Thanks for this Masterpiece.
This was excellent! Every episode
Amazing !! Thanks so much Tik for the wonderful series !! Absolutely loved the 4 year journey - kept me at the edge of my seat through COVID !!
What an achievement. I absolutely love the channel.
Perfect! Thank you TIK.
Wow! Your best piece yet, I always loved learning about Stalingrad from your videos.
Absolutely outstanding work!
thank for your dedication completing the series. your analyzing skills in history is superb.
Absolutely epic. Congratulations sir.
Epic TIK. Just Epic. Congratulations - well done.
You should be congratulated on a wonderful job. My interest in the subject stay through the end - even though I hadn’t studied this battle/campaign in detail. Thanks again.👍
This is so great to actually see you making it to the end. Not like I had any doubts, not after your privious works, but seeing it in life feels like a cause for celebration) Congratulations on making it through Stalingrad! I have some good words to say but will kee em for when it will be official. What a big board of congratulations it will be on the final video
Unreal Work Tik! I would be lying if I said I watched from the start 3 years ago but when I found the series I binged it. Thanks for the effort put in
Found this series when I started my apprenticeship and now it’s over 😢. Absolutely legendary channel
I want to thank you for every effort you made to give us this series! I will after the last episode go back and watch it all again. History now has a much more precise and finely detailed account of this entire campaign. Thank you so very much, jim
was a pleasant surprise to wake up to E50. many thanks for your hard work!
Thanks TIK great work with the series.
