Early Episode: The Defense of Castle Itter

I bought the book for my dad and he very much enjoyed the part about Besotten Jenny

Rosemary S Callahan Gray

Best Mel Gibson movie ever is “Get the Gringo” it’s basically Riggs from Lethal weapon but he’s a bank robber. Fuck Mel Gibson but he makes some good movies

If you’ve ever played HOI4, Maxime Weygand is a general

Have you read any of the primary sources on the 1919 treaty of Versailles from the European point of view? So one of the reasons the league of nations idea failed so hard was that the European politicians read Wilson's writings and thought oh shit this guy is gonna stand up and be a world leader in this. And then they were super underwhelmed when they actually met him and they basically all wrote that he was a rabbit in a room full of wolves.

That dude from Blink has done a lot of real work on proving UFO'S by talking to people in the government

"Fired all the good people and sold it to a hedge fund" As a G/O Media employee...yep.

For what it's worth, the last PhD to ~run~ for President is Newt fuckin' Gingrich.

Pavlov's house is fantastic. Another great one that would be a good episode is by stealth and sea about the Italian human torpedo attacks

This completes the "WWII holdout battles turned in to a board game" (by the same company!) trifecta along with Pavlov's House and the antifa postmen of Danzig :D

Drew

I know YouTube is kind of a cesspool of right wing nonsense nowadays, but I'd recommend Three Arrows' video on the Wehrmacht's complicity in the Holocaust and their campaign into eastern Europe.

I always love how this event is used as "proof" by wehraboos that the wehrmacht wasnt all that bad. Like sure, I guess 30 people represent an army of about 12 million. Just ignore the 2 million that warcrimed their way across Belaruss , Russia and Ukraine.
