The third of seven presentations for the third day in the second conference room of last year’s conference was on “The Red Army’s War in Ukraine 1943-44″ by my old office mate Dr. Richard Harrison. We cannot post this excellent presentation at the moment. Dr. Harrison will be presenting a revised version of this presentation at this year’s conference 17 – 19 October 2023, as will also be the case with Eugene Matyukhin’s previous presentation on Kursk.

We had a total of 31 presentations given at the first Historical Analysis Annual Conference (HAAC). We have the briefing slides from most of these presentations. Over the next few weeks, we are going to present the briefing slides on this blog, maybe twice a week (Tuesdays and Thursday). In all cases, this is done with the permission of the briefer. We may later also post the videos of the presentations, but these are clearly going to have to go to another medium (Youtube.com). We will announce when and if these are posted.
The briefings will be posted in the order given at the conference. The conference schedule is here: Schedule for the Historical Analysis Annual Conference (HAAC), 27-29 September 2022 – update 16 | Mystics & Statistics (dupuyinstitute.org).
