You Tube finds

I do not need another project ... however.

Drachinifel is a YouTube channel which describes in 5 minute videos ships of WWI and WWII. I have always shied away from WWI Naval 'cos I found the terminology confusing ... buuut I have watched quite a few of these little videos and am getting the hang of it.

Russian round ships.

Very interesting! Have subscribed to his channel. I see that he moved away from the robovoice (thankfully)!

Wing Turrets intensify!!

The voyage of the Russian 2nd Pacific Squadron, 1904.

I didn't realise it was this bad!

Slow motion 76mm and 152mm shells.

Interesting to see how the shell travels.

And a lot more jolly German marching songs from the same content provider
Subtitled, should you desire karaoke while you game.

Video contains Tricornes!

Paid weekly and sixty rounds a man - superb organization.

"Looks like a giant bullet." D'uh! 
Also, you don't stand so close to a firing tank gun - lucky it wasn't the 120mm pieces fitted to today's MBTs.

Heh! Someone threw in a Shako! 

(just as well I like Shakos, too)

I forgot how much I hated oom-pah music!

Much better - the Song of the Onion (French stereotypes being reinforced)

The Chieftain talking about French armoured development.

Bloke on the range talking about how the Bren was used. Quite enlightening.

What got me was the "blew my glasses off" ... then stand in exactly the same place.

The bloke hiding behind the Sherman as the 152mm went off was far more snsible.

OK, so I've only watched Confederates vol1, but it was quite an informative watch.


I am putting up the ACW as the war with the most irritating soundtrack. Banjo and fiddle!

[d_Guy]

Add here was me thinking each video would be one minute!   

[fsn]

 

About an hour and a half each.

[Wulf]

A minute is a long time when the shooting starts...

[fsn]

Finally, Forgotten Weapons talks about a forgotten weapon! Great topic for all WWI and interwar fans! Do you think we could get some to add to the French WWI range?

[lowlylowlycook]

This guy does nice, detailed videos about WW2 aircraft.  Above he explains the several reasons for the gull wing on the Corsair and below he explains the importance of high octane fuel in giving speed advantages to Allied (or at least US) planes.

Found this animated version of the Battle of Kulikovo. You can find an English dubbed longer version from which these battle scenes were taken but I found the dubbing distracting.

[d_Guy]

The above also led to the museum at Kulikovo which has an interesting diorama of the battle that uses lights to animate. I've seen this technique before but this one is particularly well done. The sound track has an interesting selection of music.
