Rescue Aboard USS Squalus

Accidents were common in the early age of submarines. If something went wrong, there was little technology available to rescue trapped submariners. Naval officer Charles Momsen designed new equipment to save submariners from a ghastly fate. In May 1939, his invention was put to the test.

Welcome back to Beeranid 40k, after a few of you asked about my charging and melee tactics for Kill Team that I used at the Las Vegas Open, I decided to try a new style of video to not only show what I was talking about but share more tactics, tips and tricks for kill team melee in general. Whether you play Genestealer Cults, Orks, Tyranids or Chaos Cultist Spam I think there is something here for you and I hope you enjoy.

So leave a comment below and let me know. Thank you for watching, I know there are many great Warhammer 40,000 channels you could be watching instead, so I just wanted to say "Thanks" for deciding to come here to this one.

The Islamic Golden Age and The House of Wisdom DOCUMENTARY

history documentary we cover the Islamic Golden Age and the House of Wisdom. The video begins by tracing the life of Muhammad and the rise of the early Islamic Empire under the Rashidun Caliphate. We then follow its charge out into the wider world in wars against both the Byzantine Empire and the Sassanid Empire. Following this clash, the Umayyad Caliphate pushes the borders of the empire yet further east into India and west into Spain. This period saw the very beginning of change with the start of the translation movement. However it would be the rise of the succeeding Abbasids and the founding of Baghdad which truly kicked off the Islamic Golden Age.


At this point our history documentary focuses on the emergence of the House of Wisdom. What it was, who worked there, and what they accomplished. Finally we conclude with the fall of Baghdad and the tragic end of the Islamic Golden Age. Stay tuned for more medieval history!

Merkava - Tank History and Review

The Merkava has been the main battle tank for Israel's Defense Forces since 1979. Though originally lacking in mobility and sheer armor protection, the Merkava has a unique design that greatly enhances the survivability of its crew. In this video, I talk about the events leading up to the Merkava's development, how it was designed, the problems in encountered, and what my overall opinion on it is.
