  I just noticed that pretty much every occurrence of "thousand" in your videos, when referring to manpower, is enunciated as "thooouuuusand." I like it.

  Skendeberg is a Serb and he always has been, and Albanians today live on deprived tereitorioms from Serbs and the Western empires have done that to prevent Serbia from having contact with the sea, it was Serbs who have chased away Ottomans from Serbian territory. Albanians on conveyor belts fabricate and spread lies and fabricated stories their genetics, culture, language and anthropology show Azija between the Caspian Sea and the Black Sea it was nomadic people who lived up in the mountain Ask the Chech's people they know

  Good channel. The early coffee, tea and chocolate shops in London in the mid 17th century. Especially: the prices, the mixtures (esp chocolate), caffeine levels (how rich or weak?) Did people boil water to drink? How many cups a day did users' consume? Did women drink these? (I think I remember reading that the shops were considered a bit louche, not allowing women to enter. Did they get commuter service?) Most of my life I've had migraines, three things are absolute triggers: diesel exhaust, alcohol, and coal smoke. Two of these things were the 'breakfast drink and air' of most people in London. This has to be if not common then frequent enough that it effected significant numbers of Londoners. I can't believe everyone just drank small beer for hydration. Boiling water was essential to tea, coffee and chocolate so these drinkers were both sober and caffeinated. (Curious the chronic intransigence of English politics in the 17th C didn't seem to change much as they sobered up. ) And it would be interesting to have the sides and issues of the three English Civil Wars diagrammed. I've been reading this history. It's difficult keeping track. With the exception of Cromwell's New Modeled Army (what was this army called in the day. New Model Army as a term came in the 18th c.) it seemed each side lost battles because of mistakes they made, not advantages the victors effectively applied. And the Scots seem quite adept at always finding a way to end up on the losing end. I like watching Outlander, and while in Scotland intentionally avoided Culloden, and went everywhere else I could. So much of Scottish history just seems so depressing. (What were they thinking? I still don't get why there are statues in Scotland of 'Bonnie' Prince Flakey. I just read the basic stuff on him and dismissed him as a complete fool. It's like conspiracy nutters instead of sitting around their basements jabbering tried a coup d'Etat against Congress. Oh, wait. They did try that didn't they? ) After watching your video on Flodden , and of course how William Wallace ended up. Did the Scots never understand the relative strengths and capabilities of themselves and the English? We're doing great, now let's invade England! It's sort of the Scot's 'Russian Winter,' except all seasons.

  The primary reason Boyington was such a superior pilot is having joined the Marine Corps and become a pilot in (I think) 1938 he had a lot more hours than all the pilots trained after 1940. He learned fast, was aggressive, has a Native American background. (Look up the most decorated Canadian soldiers.) He learned first, learned more and always worked to get better. The Black Sheep did so well because they adopted the tactics The AVG Flying Tigers had developed in China flying out of Kunming. Chennault wrote a report on these tactics, the weaknesses of the Japanese Zero, other planes, and tactics.Chennault's report to the Defense Dept was apparently not read by the officers and planners. Basically the AVG would never engage unless they had a clear advantage. They existed not to be part of some larger military strategy but to destroy the greater numbers of Japanese planes. (If you read autobiographies of fighter aces in WWI and WWII they always attacked when they had the advantage, avoided dog fights, and fled as soon as they lost the advantage.) The basic tactics of underdogs, guerillas, is to inflict casualties while taking as few as possible. So hit and run. So long as the Black Sheep were successful they were allowed to operate with more independence. After Boyington was MIA I think they were treated like other units. One the missions of the Black Sheep, that they thought up, was to fly at high altitude at the slower speed and formation of the less fighter capable SBD Dauntless Dive Bombers. The Japanese air force seeing this, thought they were easy targets so took off. The Black Sheep having the advantage and Corsairs prevailed. Boyington wrote in his autobiography that he didn't think they'd give him the Medal of Honor had they known he was still alive. The Japanese treated him badly after the news of his medal and fame reached them. Terrific pilot and inspiration.

  Not to highjack your great work, but on a slightly related topic. The channel K&G has purged most of their videos on Prussia. A channel devoted to "Kings and Generals" has almost no content on Prussia. Really weird, like conspiracy levels weird.

  German destroyers were called torpedo boats during WW1 and were pretty much all numbered with a letter preceding the numbers. I think they were painted black too for night actions.
