With the success of the Pacific Theater deep dive, the guys are at it again! Pat and Matt have brought back their buddy Avery Lentz, this time to speak on the European Theater of World War II!

Avery lays out the run up to the outbreak of the war in Europe and how the world responded. The Axis and the Allies and how some of them switch sides over the course of the war is looked at in detail. This episode touches on the multiple fronts of the European Theater, as well as the ups and downs of the forces engaged on those fronts.

The guys also touch on the social upheaval of the war in Europe as well, both on the fighting fronts and the home fronts. What does it take to continue to wage a full scale war? All this and more is discussed!
