  This documentary about the Australian rats of Tobruk is one of the best films of its kind. Wherever they went, the Australians were some of the best, toughest soldiers, in both the first and the second world wars .

  The Siege of Tub-ruck was not something I knew about previous to this video. As a US born Citizen I am happy that the Aussies, the British Empire, and the USA are all on the same side. 🙂

  I enjoy true unvarnished history and I&apos;m proud to be an American. Camera people on all sides took a major risk to bring these films and images out of the battlefield and don&apos;t get enough credit.

  This is an excellent series. On Manstein, def a GOAT, but his Barbarossa plans relied on huge encirclements taking 10,000s of POWs, he wrote memos acknowledging they wouldn&apos;t be able to feed them &amp; they didn&apos;t. 4.5mil captured in 1941, almost all starved to death, not even worked to death, a huge war crime.

  Hitler&apos;s answer to all requests to withdraw to a more defensible position was to &quot;Fight to the last man&quot; That doesn&apos;t work when out numbered 2 or 3 to one and without control of the air. :face-fuchsia-wide-eyes:
