These guys also make great weekly videos about WW2, “in real time”

They're unabashed anticommunist shitlibs, though (especially Spartacus), to the point where they unironically cite Robert Conquest as a source. I remember someone pointing out how hypocritical (and borderline Nazi-enabling) their condemnation of the Soviet Union was, only for the channel account to go on a tirade about muh human rights 100 gillion dead and ban the "extremist". I will give it to them that they don't make claims like the Soviets were just as bad or killed more than the Nazis, but that's because the bar for lib pop historians is abyssal.

That said, yeah, their format for covering the war is great if you're willing to mentally block out the usual shitlibbery.

In WW2 the British kinda/sorta invaded Iceland against their will. Ostensibly to "secure" Iceland from falling to the Nazis but the Icelanders weren't really given a choice in the matter IIRC.

British and French were ready to pre-emptively invade Norway. Had troops right off the coast ready to disembark. Germans beat them to the mark by a day or two. They then smoothly switched gears to an "intervention" and the corporate media covered for them.

Hey now,

Libs also ignore Poland invading the Easternmost bit of huwhite Czechoslovakia just as it was being nommed by the Nazis.
