Seelow Heights and Battle of Budapest

Great job on both presentations today. They were very insightful along with creative. Beginning with Seelow Heights, I find it interesting how the Soviets pushed through regardless of how many casualties lost. Someone was in it to win, huh? Also, I feel like as American people we tend to focus on our wins. It is good to know that it was not just our "super-power" country that helped win the war. Thanks Soviet Union!
As far as the Battle of Budapest....I loved the art work and slide show. It kept my attention the entire time which is difficult to do so early. Along with the Battle of Seelow Heights, I also find it crazy that no matter how physically and psychologically difficult the battle was on the Soviet Union they were still able to come out on top.

Great job on the presentations. I found the loss of troops during this battle staggering. I also thought the differences in the numbers of troops between the Nazis and Soviet extremely interesting.
The Budapest presentation was very unique and good. I loved the way it was presenting. The loss of civilian lives was very interesting and has not seemed to be an issue in most of the previous battles.

I agree, both presentations were very informative. I also have enjoyed learning about some of our mistakes and seeing how we learned from them. It is interesting to see the progress that we made from battle to battle as the war progressed.
