Amo lo vídeos de este canal, me encanta este estilo de formato que te explica detalladamente los avances. Además en Estonia, mi país favorito de Europa🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪
Having spent the last half year in Estonia I reckon the gent behind Eastory is indeed Estonian. In my humble opinion, it is not only his Estonian accented English ( Latvian and Lithuanian people speak English with a completely different accent) , but his detail and obvious love of telling Estonia's story that clinches it for me. Go Estonia-I know one thing for sure, the people there will not go down without a fight next time. The EDF and the Kaitselit will be waiting for them in the forests, and not just with small arms!
Very interesting explanation. It turns out that taking Estonia required to Germans eight times more time (4 months) than taking Lithuania and Latvia combined (2 weeks).
In Estonia, the Soviets even managed to counterattack the Germans. In Lithuania and Latvia, they were still under confusion of the unexpected German attack on the USSR.
@@HeroHoundoom Alright, why is it so "complicated" then ? Did the germans send thousands of people to siberia ? No. Did germans let us atleast use our national flag ? Yes. Did Soviets ? Yes to first and No to second. Tell me why do you think its complicated.
Hey, could you please cover the fighting in the memel region. I'm working on transcribing the memoires of a german soldier who fought there (jan 1945) and I have a hard time understanding where exactly he fought. Your videos make it easy to understand. Thanks!!
That sounds like an important and interesting task you've got there, one I wish I had the privelige of undertaking myself. That said - the chapter on Memel in Forgotten Soldier (Guy Sajer) was the most grim, heart-breaking & gut-wrenching one in a memoir that was mostly pretty rough and bleak (yet, compelling and fascinating..)
