I think you would love the "Ghosts of the Osfront" series by Dan Carlin. Don't think its offered for free anymore, though. Might have to buy it.

Personally, I wasn't impressed with Ghosts of the Ostfront at all. It was rushed and wasn't exhaustive at all. It's not bad for people who aren't terribly familiar with Eastern Front but I think Darth would probably feel the same way about it as I did.

Now Countdown to Armageddon was fantastic. Carlin admitted that even it wasn't exhaustive enough and it was about 5 times longer than Ghosts of the Ostfront.

As soon as I saw this post, I decided to reply. I apologize if it has been discussed a lot in the following replies. I just finished this about 2 weeks ago. It was great. Like most, I didn't have much knowledge of the Eastern Front. History classes mostly mention the western. It was a very entertaining podcast. It is amazing how much worse the casualties were on the eastern front.

For anyone that has listened to Dan Carlin podcasts, I'd highly recommend going to his site and just purchasing the set with about 50 podcasts. After finishing all of his free stuff (Blueprint for Armegeddon about WWI is what got me hooked), I just couldn't stop listening.
