Bad, Kevin. Bad..

They could’ve just abolished religion and been able to spend more time on commercial ventures.

"...murdering some of the most important people...", they are only important if they are on your "team". Now if they are a source of ones ire it's rather important to dispose of them. "...you can't push your people too far...", a lesson that has to be kept repeated onto those in power as their appetite for self enrichment and corruption exceeds far beyond any history lesson.

The French charging?😊

u RAISED ME BLHOODY TAX EH

"But let's not hang around" that was a nice one xD

I served in the German Army Aviation Corps in the early 2000s. During basic training we were assigned to the edge of a forest to observe and report everything. We didn't get a briefing, just keep your eyes open. In front of us meadows and sparse forests. I was on the extreme left flank. Suddenly I saw individual soldiers advancing towards our position from diagonally to the left. They advanced, threw themselves behind small trees, advanced again, etc. No non-commissioned officers or officers were present anymore. I opened fire with blanks and shouted to my platoon that we have enemy contact. And the show started. We kept going. Suddenly a Marder armored personnel carrier came from the left and drove right next to us. I screamed TANK! All hell broke loose. We didn't have a bazooka with us, just assault rifles. In this chaos of our defensive campaign, the non-commissioned officers suddenly appeared again with their eyes wide open, totally perplexed. It turned out that a Panzergrenadier troop was also on the training ground and they ran right into us with their exercise. I thought it was part of the scenario and then it took on a life of its own. While we were in the field camp, we heard gunshots in the morning while we were still sleeping in the tents. We raised the alarm, prepared for action, took up positions and fired. Just as the battle was over, a reserve sergeant came up to my platoon and asked us where our instructor was. We had no idea. He found him still asleep in his tent and was shouted at. When the instructor came to us, he asked us why no one woke him up. He was pissed as fuck. Even the screaming and the fighting didn't wake him. In another exercise, I was assigned to be the first in a defensive exercise and was supposed to hide under bushes and sound the alarm if someone was marching toward us along a forest path. When suddenly a group came directly towards me, I waited a while so as not to give away my position too early and fired. The enemy squad then spread out and one of them threw himself right into my position, looked at me palely and said we were under attack, until he realized that I wasn't part of his team and took him prisoner, which he was very pissed off about because he has failed. To my right was a small bridge where two soldiers kept appearing and firing and I shot at them. In the end it turned out that they were part of my team and I didn't notice because I didn't see them during the division and they didn't had enemy marker armbands. There was also friendly fire. These “war stories” are worth their weight in gold.

8:20 - A bit of trivia: the punishment of "peine forte et dure" was only used once in America, leading to the demise of Mr. Giles Corey, who had refused to plead during the Salem Witch Trials of 1692. His famous unrepentant last words were "More weight!"

To quote "1066 and all that", the pheasants are revolting.

Priceless, I don't recall any fun times in West Germany during the Cold War. But my father had a few stories when he was in the Naval Reserved. On one occasion he was on watch in the wheelhouse, Officer in Charge holler down at him from the bridge," Mind the rudder sailor". That morning the Navigator to my father into the map room and show him that the ship had went off course then came back on course. Another time my father was on watch in the engine room. There is the ships emergency helm if something should every happen to the bridge and wheelhouse. After a while my father started to get sleepy, so he got comfortable and took a snooze nap. Off when the alarm, "You got it" shouting from the bridge, my father half asleep struggle to catch the wheel. During my father retirement he took up painting as a hobby. He did a couple paintings of himself and his brother. Uncle Loyd is seen smiling while my father has a serious look on his face and wonder why. Until remember that as a sailor he had let up a cigarette and put the wrong end in his mouth. Someone had taken that photo right after that. And that is the photo my father chose to do his self portrait.

Great video. Great work. You’ve earned a new subscriber

Ah, a good ole peasant revolt.

some historians say history repeats itself

I was at aya nic from 95 to 98 and spent a lot of time at Pergamos, especially Ali's Bar. My son was born in Limasol and we lived in Dhekalia. Interested to know which village you mean> Pyla? Pergamos has been knocked down now. It was just married quarters when I was there.

The real beginning of the British Empire and the basis for the “Universal Fraternity”

13 year old joke.

She doesn't sound German at all it's distracting but look how late term abortions and infanticide are considered socially acceptable many places now too just as matter of economics and it's not difficult to understand how some considered anyone including children burdensome and would rather not help them . There are plenty of children whose parents can't afford their medications or other necessary treatments and likely resent them too. Lots of doctors are overwhelmed and don't provide quality care commit misdiagnosis or malpractice which can cause death too apathy is dangerous.

He’s looking at cake in Walmart 😂

I wish I had any beliefs that I wouldn’t change when threatened with death from burning alive . I feel like I’d say whatever they wanted me to before . I guess im a coward

The Tyburn Jig 🕺💃

I’ve read and watched specials on this battle many times. However, watching now is the first time it’s ever come alive for me. Amazing job sir.

@thehistorysquad I read a book that suggested there was a link between the Peasant's Revolt and what would become Freemasonry. I think the claim was something like "The Tyler" is a position/title of the Mason in charge of guarding the lodge and making sure it is secure/private during meetings, and that this was a homage to Walter "Wat" Tyler. The book also suggested a link between the Peasant's Revolt and the Knights Templar, claiming much of the property targeted and destroyed belonged to the Knights Hospitaller who received it from Clement V after the betrayal and dissolution of the order of Templars, and that part of the reason was as revenge for the Templars. I'm curious if you folks are aware of any evidence of such connections. I think the thesis of that book was that modern Freemasonry was a direct offshoot of a branch of Templars that went underground in the British Isles who then fomented the Peasants revolt.

Ah your Cold War stories are my personal favorites. For some reason I'd always pictured you running around in a Munga or something of the sort. Ha ha. Brilliant! Not too many lads can say they took out a piece of armor and a rotary wing aircraft without firing a single shot! 🍻

He sat in granddad 😂

Ex Royal Sigs soldier here wetting himself at the grenade and the shovel. Absolute classic.

When you get an expert storyteller and one of the best stories is the story that he is telling you get this video.

I love the older generation 😭😭

make sure you're jacked up before you let one off Kev.....

I thought they discovered Y. pestis bacteria amongst the excavated mass graves of the Black Death…

Foor shod in armor to resist axe.

Wound sucker made me gip 😂😂😂

23:00 an awful way to go??? Surrounded by my mates and lots of alcohol? I can think of way worse ways to go out.

Love your content, been going thru your videos. Working on hundred years war

The 2 people talking from either end of a amphitheatre reminded me of.... Covid

the beat goes on

Thanks for making this video and presenting this information. The civilizations of North America are as marvelous as any other, but even today there’s this attitude in the US that Native Americans were just kind of wandering around subsisting on the land. It’s not true, and that attitude is part of the dispossession and erasure of the indigenous people.

I made this model of a distillery you'll see over here...

Lt dease is my first cousin 3 times removed cousin’s cousin. It warms me fully to see his story told with such passion.

Wetting the bed can also be a sign of s/a, especially in children.

Taking an arrow to the knee, now that‘s a lot o‘ damage.

I wish all men to be free, as free from mobs as kings. From you as me.

Thanks !!!!!! //Lars

What he's wearing looks pretty dang comfortable honestly😅
