  "textContent": "In the late summer of 1917, the German Empire is running out of time to win the First World War. If Germany can force Russia out of the war, shift its armies west, and defeat Britain and France before the Americans arrive in strength, victory might still be won. To threaten the Russian capital Petrograd they device a daring operation to capture the islands in the Gulf of Riga. The resulting Operation Albion is one of the most unique operations of the entire war.\n\n» THANK YOU TO OUR CO-PRODUCERS\n\nMike Gloudemans, George Durrett, Luis Gonzalez, Mike Cumings, Jr., Charles Shananaquet II, Joel Sanchez, shane cawthon, Andrew Thomas Mooney, Chris Rohde, Bruce D, Jim Frame, Glenn Sugden, Lisa Anderson, George Haramundanis, G S, Kempf Mario, jhgBo8jigr hzufjkl, Gayle Elizabeth, Glenn G Webb, Stephen D Nugent PsyD, Daniel L Garza, Chris Daley, Simen Røste, Amy Williams, Jim F Barlow, Taylor Allen, Adam Smith, Josh Bruder, Konstantin Bredyuk, Richard L Benkin, Matt, Rob Carle, Murray Godfrey, Jan, Gage Manthey, Theodore Patrick Shannon, Bruce G.
