Love it! How long did it take?

I did research as I went to save time and even with my prior knowledge, it took several months. But it was worth it.

Was it a class, or personal, project?

It seems like you paid a lot of attention to detail, coloring specific parts of Norway, instead of just the whole lot. I liked it!

[patches70]

Well done.

[Dukasaur]

Great work! Pacific theater next?

[DoomYoshi]

Fuckin Russians trying to move the Red Sea to Siberia. Things really are getting out of hand. Why are they only trying to take half of it?

It was a personal project as my entire YouTube channel is based off of these type of videos. I made sure to be as detailed as possible by looking at multiple perspectives. I'd find a front line map of a campaign so i can get weekly or monthly details. Then I'd look up the histories of the major towns within the front lines to find their date of surrender or fall. Then I'd compared it with my military atlas of world war 2.
