A very good film, although baffling it does not cover "Mansteins Miracle" in the Third Battle of Kharkov, arguably his greatest tactical victory.

A documentary about Erich Von Manstein with no mention of Kharkov is a great omission

In the nicest way possible, I love falling asleep to your Nazi people profiles. Narrator has great voice.

“Strength of character and inner fortitude, however, are decisive factor. The confidence of the man in the ranks rests upon a man’s strength of character” Erich von Manstein

Superb documentary. Well, done!!! You kept me wanting more. A great wealth of information. Thank you...I loved it..

Amazing as always. I appreciate this outstanding work!

Imagine how he must have felt taking orders from an emotionally-charged corporal, especially when thousands of lives were on the line.

God, imagine Manstein as one of Napoleon's Marshals.

It's a fairly simple summary of Manstein's life but it pretty much misses the main focus of Manstein's military genius. He was a brilliant tactician and was sacked by Hitler for making a strategic withdrawal contrary to Hitler's direct order and saving his army. Also, when he was attempting to relieve Paulus' 6th Army at Stalingrad Hitler ordered Paulus not to attempt a breakout. Manstein's army was nearly caught in an encirclement and he chose to withdraw from the area and save his troops. These are two classic examples of Manstein's defiance of Hitler and proved to be correct in retrospect.

A brilliant tactician and strategist, a rare combination. His extrication of forces from the Caucasus has to be admired.

The greatest operational mind the German army had produced upto the end of WWII. Despite the attrocities committed behind the lines in his area of command and for which he is partially accountable, his way of planning and implementing of the military operations are exceptional and they are still widely studied in military academies.

v. Manstein is possibly the best Fieldmarshal of all time.

Very odd that a comprehensive account of von Manstein’s career omits one of his most famous achievements; The Manstein counterstroke in the spring of 1943 which effectively re-established the south eastern front after the disaster at Stalingrad.

Riveting work. Keep up the excellent history facts .

The narrator completely bypassed the invasion of Poland was a joint attack by Germany and the Soviet Union .

Your historical documentaries are thorough and in depth. Chapeau❤

The bureaucrat always claims that they're just following the directives of their superiors. Our bureaucrats today that enforce two sets of laws, one for themselves and another for everyone else, are 100% the same kinds of people.

I'd appreciate a profile of Hanna Reitsch. Thank you for the biographies. Good work!

THE greatest WW2 commander. 3rd Battle of Kharkov against incredible odds was a masterpiece, as were his actions in response to the Stalingrad debacle. Massively outnumbered, the whole of the southern sector could easily have collapsed but, with minimal forces and massively outnumbered, he somehow stabilised the situation.
