The Operations Room is a good Youtube channel that does animated recreations of famous battles. This is their video about the famous USAAF raid on the Ploesti oil refineries in 1943, and if you're not very familiar with the details of the raid, then... holy hell... :o  :o  :o

They have a second channel called The Intel Report that gives more historical context on many of their subjects, using film footage instead of the animations:
