Operation Barbarossa: Seeds of Calamity (Part 1)

The series opener covers the strategic context of Barbarossa — why Hitler was planning an eastern invasion even during the Battle of Britain, the impact of the Nazi-Soviet Pact, and Stalin's own expansionism in Eastern Europe. Holland lays out the grand strategic picture with characteristic clarity, setting up the political and military preconditions rather than jumping straight to June 1941. Essential groundwork for what promises to be one of We Have Ways' strongest series, and the Barbarossa anniversary timing is perfect.
