Robert Citino is definitely my favourite when it comes to talks about WW2. He combines in depth knowledge with very skillful story telling, using specific examples to illustrated points and a way of conveying the feeling of the tactical and strategic situations he describes.
-
I had the extreme pleasure of "majoring" in Citino when at Eastern Michigan University, and miss the days of his lectures. He is not just incredibly knowledgeable, but also very entertaining.
-
Citino sure has the hability to make history interesting and compelling. I got hooked on his talks and then i read his books, and he is great. The guy really has this sort of spark within him. Kinda like a guy who you'd hang out with, having a beer and discussing the faults of the german general staff en ww2

I can't get enough of these lectures and Rob is brilliant
-
Love this guys speeches so much I really hope to see/meet him one day even for a 5 second meet and greet or book singing.
-
Dr. Citino has given this talk in many other venues. He is one of the leading authorities in this topic. Excellent speaker. Vivifies this historical area with some backstory to boot.

31:40 The Italian government capitulated in 1943, but an Axis backed government was formed in northern Italy almost immediately. The Italian soldier fought until the end in 1945. Several divisions were re-equipped with British uniforms and weapons, and fought for the Allies. Several divisions were re-equipped with German uniforms and weapons, and fought for the Axis. And many soldiers just changes into civilian clothes and went home, but not the vast majority.

Robert Citino starts speaking at around 4:20

Love his lecture but wish he would have an audible format available for his books. I rarely get a chance to sit down to read and instead listen to books while driving and working.
-
Audio is horrible. Shame because this man is both entertaining and well educated.
-
A great author but a even better speaker.

"I say the german army is aggressive and half my class slaps high fives" hahahahahahahah. Damn you manstein for creating a romantic vision of the German Army for the west, i.e. the US

My old docent from EMU. The best.
