Something that might appear a bit nitpicky: I would translate "Auftrag" not with "order" but with "mission". The reason being that order also is the translation for "Befehl", which is not the same as an "Auftrag". This is especially important since the Germany Army traditionally (I wonder to whom it actually goes back...I heared that Seydlitz is named here sometimes...) led by mission and not by order (führen mit Auftrag statt führen mit Befehl). Therefore this detail in translation is actually important because "mission" discloses that already here there is a trace of the governing principle of the coloqualy called "Auftragstaktik". I personally am convinced that it is a superior form of leading armies and that it might played a role in the combat effectiveness of the Wehrmacht. - It occurs to me that this might be an interesting topic for you to cover. At least it is a topic that is hardly covered on YouTube, so you could exploit here a gap to your favour. And there are many topics that connect to this topic. I personally am convinced that it could bring you many views.

yeah, you are correct, thanks for pointing that out. For the videos I usually translate most stuff with a tool and then check/adapt it, I actually replaced "group" (die Gruppe) several times with "squad". Missed it for "Auftrag" though, for the HDv translation, we made sure to double-check and we added "Auftrag" to the check-list, although it should be "mission" there. "Auftragstaktik" is on my list for a long time, I got the most recent (I think) book on it, but had no time yet. I might be wrong, but I don't think it is known well enough to be successful, but I guess I need the proper title.
