Pretty good video. It's always great to see Polish history getting some attention. I especially appreciate that you listed your sources in the description, but I've noticed that the newest biography of Piłsudski by Joshua D. Zimmerman is not among them. I can't help but wonder if the video would be even better with the inclusion of that book. Anyway, have you considered making a video about Tadeusz Kościuszko? He already appeared in your old Saratoga video, as the mysteriously unnamed Polish engineer. 😉 Like Piłsudski, he once held the title of _Naczelnik_ (meaning an extraordinary supreame leader and the head of state) and received the honor of being buried among the toombs of Polish monarchs in the Wawel cathedral. I'd say he is even more of an undisputed national hero for the Poles, and is considered a hero by many Lithuanias and Belarusians. Plus, he is more unproblematic from the modern point of view, despite living earlier. P.S. The life of Bronisław Piłsudski, Józef's older brother, could be also a topic of an interesting video (including more surprising connections with Japan).

Not a great vid sadly ... it seems to focus on Kesserine being a "German" victory. It wasn't. The Italians played a significant role too however many Anglophone armchair historians still balk at having to acknowledge Italian military successes. I think this is related mostly to 80 year old British propaganda about the Italian armed forces but it might also be the fruit of mere jingoistic ignorance. But that's only my opinion, It was the 5th Bersaglieri Regiment who on 20th February made the frontal assault on American positions at Djebel and finally carried the position. This action penetrated Allied lines and thus opened the road to Thala and Tebessa. Later that day combined Axis armoured units were able to enter the pass and by doing so routed the American forces, It was considered one of the worst U.S. defeats of the Tunisian Campaign. The Italian regiment was complimented by General Bülowius, commander of the DAK assault group who noted the Bersaglieri's action was fundamental to the Axis victory. Sadly none of this is mentioned. A lacuna that diminishes the value of this vid unfortunately. Better luck next time. Reply

I have no spare love for leaders who think war is "Glorious", a test of a man's guts or anything else which makes it seem like it's anything but what it truly is: killing one's enemies with few, if any rules of war being followed. Old "Blood and Guts", they called him in print, but his men often remarked it was HIS guts, but THEIR blood that made him a star. He was a great general, a leader of men. He didn't stay in the rear, giving orders about the movements of his men that were useless by the time the order was received ! Patton demanded LEADERS, not officers who think they're too valuable to be. out in front. He could see how the battle was going for himself that way and make better informed decisions, but they stayed in the rear as much as they could get away with. The men HATE those "leaders". Patton, for all his faults, would fight. Many generals were more timid in being aggressive . Airborne and commandos are always ready to do the tough stuff and could have been used to better affect the war, possibly but many lead officers were fighting the last war, not keeping up with technology. Patton took to the tank like he was born n one! Anyway, I know there are many who have very strong, negative feelings, or opinions re: Patton, the General. I admire some of Patton's heroics, but I am slightly less pissed when I think about him slapping TWO men, at different hospitals who were "battle fatigued", read: shell shocked back in WW1 but it sounded too harsh for the folks back home, so it was changed. Making it sound "softer" didn't make the condition anyone deserved to get slapped for! Patton threatened to shoot one of the men! The soldier was in pieces, mentally from the artillery, and the rest and this SOB is going to shoot him?!? I'm glad one doctor had the balls to file charges or bring it to the attention or the press. Either way, he had to apologize to not only the two he hit, but the hospital staff, his men and it almost caused Ike to send his ass back home. Ike needed him for the future, but he wasn't going to let their friendship ruin the Allies efforts with all this grand standing BS he did. Sorry, didn't mean to rant.

The rumors of Russia's 'collapse' have been greatly exaggerated, over and over and over again. Not only does the continual abuse of this term, to describe events affecting vast sectors of humanity who still get up the next morning post-'collapse' and go on with life the best they can, strain the capacity of metaphor beyond all useful bounds, it also strikes me as simply intellectual laziness to use this all-purpose word as though it were self-defining. A lot of calamities and upheavals have happened in Russian history for a long, long time, not one of which may be described, to any meaningful degree of accuracy or insight, as 'collapse.' As soon, seconds into this production, as I heard the trendy, wishful, historically illiterate, endlessly-repeated, and utterly meaningless combination of 'Russia' and 'collapse' in one of the opening sentences, was when I turned it off.

While i am in total agreement to tell the Civil War Custer story, we must be accurate- In June 1863, George A Custer would be the youngest General in the Army of the Potomac, even the Union (Federal) forces at that time. He was not the youngest General in the the Union Army during the Civil War- that was Galusha Pennypacker who was promoted to Brigadier before his 21st birthday- 2nd correction- Custer received an appointment to the US Military Academy at West Point by a Republican Ohio Congressman (Bingham)not a “commission “ 3. It was not that he struggled academically, but because he was the “Class Clown” and he accumulated so many demerits! Then he would always disciplined himself when he was close to expulsion 4. He was NOT Breveted Brigadier General at end of CW, but Brevet Major General, still the youngest in American military history! Dated 19 October 1864-
