Pint-Sized History stays in the 1940s for the 2nd episode as Joe and Zack discuss the bloodiest, and most (arguably) important, battle of World War 2, the Battle of Stalingrad.

Zack plays the "expert" today, and Joe the enthusiastic student as they dive into the horrors of the Eastern Front.

Uncover the secrets of the last-minute defection by a German border guard, Stalin's lack of belief about Hitler's potential plans, and how this has shaped the world we live in today.

You'll hear all about the fierce fighting in the frozen streets, the determination of the Soviet forces, and the dramatic twists that changed the course of the war—all while enjoying a couple of refreshing alcoholic beverages.

This is perfect for fans of true crime or comedy podcasts and history enthusiasts alike.
