How Ukraine was able to survive - Early Access

Recently there was a poll on the next piece of content. Although the WW2 Donbas video won the poll, I had already started to make a video on the war in Ukraine, so I finished it first before starting to work on Donbas.
I give my own vision in the video. As there is a lot of speculation in the video, there will be no Patron attribution nor a charge, but there still will be early access.

Losses of the Eastern front mapped - Pre release

https://youtube.com/shorts/CuI2BOw6SY0


You already know the answer to the question from the video, but you probably don't know how these losses are distributed.
Each dot is 10 000 military personnel dead or captured by the enemy.

Soviet dead and missing 1941-1945

I have been working on a new video project to map the losses in the European theatre.

Each bubble is 10 000 men lost. White is deceased. Yellow is missing (mostly taken prisoner).

Your boy wants to go on TikTok, but he needs your help

In case the video does not work, here is the link:

I hear that all the cool kids are on TikTok and I want to test, if my content would be suitable for the platform.
I made a TikTok demo of the Second Sino-Japanese War.
Let me know what you don't like or what bothers you about it. (Also, any ideas on how to improve the concept.)

Why Russia invaded Ukraine? - Early Access

As have many other people on YouTube, I did a video to give my thoughts on this topic.

This is not a part of the standard content for the channel and there will be no charge, but you still get early access.

Eastern front from Stalingrad to Kursk

I was to start working on the second part of the Sino-Japanese war, but I got an offer from people whom I could not refuse. So we had to make a small detour to the Eastern Front.

Western Front, 1944-1945. Part 2 - Public Release

Due to some particularities with the sponsorship, I am unable to hold the video back for a day to provide Early Access, but there will also not be a charge for Patrons for this one. Enjoy!

"US Foreign Wars – fighting the last war" Three day early access

This felt like a great idea to make a video about and was a good change from making animation.

But now it is time to finish the Western Front!

Western Front 1944/45 in Real Time, Early access

Quite a monumental task, that I began a year ago has been finally completed.
It takes you from the landings at D-Day to the eventual surrender of Germany in May 1945. One day at a time.
Thanks for the support!

Crating animation is quite taxing and I need a bit of rest from it, therefore the next episode will be with drawings. It will cover the US foreign wars.

After that we'll be back to the Western Front with a fully narrated episode.

The video will go public on J...

Western Front in Real Time - into polishing phase

Almost a month has passed since the last post and finally all the data has been compiled. We now have frontline and unit setups for 338 days from the Normandy landings to the final German surrender.

Now it is time to move into a lengthy polishing phase. During it the animation will be made smoother around the edges and numerous glitches will be eliminated.

From Paris to the Battle of the Bulge

Some more progress this week.

I would like to make this video as good as possible, so if you have any ideas on how this format could be improved (different visuals, extra features, etc), let me know!

Estonia 1941. Early access

Some translated content from my other channel. No charge, but Patrons still get an early access.

Status update

Due to the fact that we are starting with the Eastern Front on the World War Two channel, there have been significant delays with my own productions.

As a result the next animated map video (Estonia 1941) is 90% ready, but I don't have the time to finish it.

On the positive side, there might be a hope of getting a Eastern Front in real time video on a divisional level sometimes in the future.
