This episode of “Battlefield” chronicles the fighting that occurred in the Crimea after the area was secured by General Manstein in 1941. During the struggle to secure the Crimea, General Manstein and his men overpowered two entire Soviet army troupes. Later, when the Germans were defeated at Stalingrad and Kursk, General Manstein and his men suddenly found their supply route cut off as advancing Soviet forces grew increasingly intense.

    Battlefields is probably the best series on the technical details and strategies of WWII. I have watched almost all the episodes either on youtube, or on the military channel. The Crimean campaign is probably one of the most fascinating campaigns of all of the war. Saying that I can’t believe the fact checkers on the show did not catch the fact that the 11th (XI) army has been misrepresented with the 6th (VI) army roman numerals
