GW11: The Brusilov Offensive
18/2/2026 | 20min
This episode presents an overview of the Brusilov Offensive of 1916, Russia’s most successful campaign of World War I. General Alexei Brusilov’s innovative tactics—focused artillery barrages, surprise attacks, and small, specialized assault units—devastated the Austro-Hungarian forces and captured vast territory. But although the offensive caused over a million Central Powers casualties and prompted Romania to join the Allies, it also exhausted Russia’s manpower and supplies. Though hailed as a tactical masterpiece, it ultimately marked the high point of Russia’s war effort and foreshadowed the internal collapse that lay ahead.

At the center of the story is the titanic Battle of Jutland, the only full-scale engagement between the great dreadnought fleets, where Britain suffered heavy losses but ultimately maintained control of the sea.

GW9: Verdun
04/2/2026 | 37min
In this episode Sean and James examine the Battle of Verdun, the first of 1916’s colossal offensives and one of the longest and bloodiest battles in world history. They discuss German commander Erich von Falkenhayn’s plan to “bleed France white” by attacking the fortress city of Verdun, and how General Philippe Pétain’s leadership and innovations kept the French from collapse. The hosts trace the battle’s brutal back-and-forth fighting, staggering casualties, and the ultimate failure of the German strategy. Finally, they explore Verdun’s lasting symbolic power as the embodiment of both the horrors and the endurance of the First World War.
