ABOUT TIK
History isn’t as boring as some people think, and my goal is to get people talking about it. I also want to dispel the myths and distortions that ruin our perception of the past by asking a simple question - “But is this really the case?”. I have a 2:1 Degree in History and a passion for early 20th Century conflicts (mainly WW2). I’m therefore approaching this like I would an academic essay. Lots of sources, quotes, references and so on. Only the truth will do.
This video is discussing events or concepts that are academic, educational and historical in nature. This video is for informational purposes and was created so we may better understand the past and learn from the mistakes others have made.

The History Guy recalls the forgotten history of the Confederate ironclad ram CSS Albemarle.

On November 9, 1975, half of the entire Soviet Baltic Fleet was suddenly placed on high alert. Their orders: hunt down and stop the Soviet destroyer Storozhevoy by any means necessary. Earlier that evening, the ship had been seized from its captain by its Zampolit, Valery Mikhaylovich Sablin.
