The day the Red Baron was wounded and emergency landed his Albatros D.V.
Finished processing James F. Miller's 'Inside the victories' Volume 1 book onto my site meettheredbaron.com.
It contains a detailed analysis of the incident on 6 July 1917 which wounded Richthofen and made him make an emergency landing.
Enjoy reading it!

The Pessimist’s Reading List
It’s easy to get the impression that everything sucks. It’s what most of us seem to think. It’s reflected in the media, surveys, and in public discourse. We have become doom junkies. As a counterweight to this widespread pessimism, I’ve put together a reading list of 10 books that offer different, more empowering perspectives than those we typically encounter. I’ve broken them into four categories: the present, the future, the possible, and the mind.

Would opening up the Royal archives end the monarchy?
Excellent video by historian Mark Felton going into the details of the Windsor's German roots
- the Duke of Cumberland....lived in Germany and served in the German army during WW1 and only had his title removed 3 years into the conflict
- the Earl of Clarence....was a Nazi member living in Germany
- Elizabeth’s father sent a telegram of congratulations to the then-exiled Kaiser Wilhelm in 1939 for his 80th Birthday. Good question by Mark: what would millions of British people who lost loved ones in WW1 think of that?!
- Queen Victoria's great-grandaughter lived in a German castle within the Soviet occupation zone. Towards the end of WW2, George 6 abused his power by ordering the army to remove her private treasures to a castle within the allied occupation zone. The British soldiers were used a removal men! Mark is very critical of this abuse of power.
- BIGGEST DETAIL: Mark was given special access to the Royal archives. There was NO mention of the operation in the National archives.... exactly why we must END ROYAL SECRECY.
- 25 min video with LOTS more dodgy details. Worth a watch

In the 8th century the Tibetan Empire emerged from a period of relative obscurity to become one of the dominant powers in Central and East Asia, as well as one of the world's largest Buddhist empires. The golden age of the Tibetan Empire is a story that every history buff should know.

New video up, and the start of a 3 part series where we seek out the Blacksmith's Shop, deep underground in an abandoned Ironstone mine that has hundreds of miles of tunnels. We also often come across dangerously bad air, and seek the remains of the furnace that provided fresh air to the complex :
