I know quality content creators need to make income to support their efforts, but just be careful about how you do this. Too long of advertisements at the start of a video have an adverse effect on viewership and reach, not to mention subscriber retention. This one isn't too bad, just trying to add this gentle reminder to bring this to your attention because I really like this channel. Personally, I believe Astrum handles this well. He just mentions who is sponsoring his videos at the beginning, but then will a short advert at the very end, and usually not do a comment advert, though does write about his Patreon every once in a while. The less intrusive the ads, the better.
It’s just so hard to imagine how unfathomably BADASS these men were. Back in the days of no complex electronics or satellite guiding, or drones, or anything like that, they braved the wilderness into a Nazi secret weapons plant. Fuck man. “If the soldiers walked out of the barracks, the commandos would go down shooting.” BAD. ASS.
I know it's a tiny detail, but I've read this story before and the Norwegians that took the man hostage made sure he was safe from the blast, and also took an extra 2 minutes to help him find his glasses because he lost them lol. Norway is so underrated when it comes to their military. You guys are legends
This channel has the most immersive and well made history videos out there. Focusing on the less known but equally as interesting topics and eras really is something more channels should be doing. Keep up the good work.
Thanks! Joe (my brother and the artist/editor) and I put a ton of work into making each one immersive with music, color pallet, narration, etc., so this is great to hear
My grandfather served in the RAF and he told me about this as a boy, I revered and respected him. I lost my father recently and he bequeathed me my grandfather and great grandfathers war medals. Thank you for this.
You're literally the only channel to me that makes very well made history stories very immersive with epic art style and epicnes. Like to me your literally telling a legendary tale, but its all actual history, love this channel keep it up! :)
Your narrative style and the images you show are a huge reason why I love your channel and your storytelling! Fantastic work and I cannot wait for the next one.
Having a cabin where they landed, and driving past Vemork is a regular occurrence, I'll say the landscape is pretty extra ordinary. Even for Norwegian standards. The description was well articulated. +1
Love hearing about missions like this. Things that ALTER direction of history if successful. Also loved that the fireteam stayed in the redzone for months hoping someone comes to find them! super cool.
It's really cool that you're talking about subjects that are not really talked about when it comes to WW2 but are really super interesting. I'm really glad I found your channel
This was incredible. The narration, the music, the drawings. Very well done and I look forward to future documentaries. One thing I wish was added was the names of the troops that were part of this mission. Their names should be honored more.
I remember reading about this from a display sign on my Route 66 trip. An elderly Norwegian man named Christian Christiansen (really) moved to Gardner, Illinois and found out about the plant by a newspaper. He used his boyhood recollections to help the Allies find their way to the plant. At least that’s what the sign claimed, the town might have been trying to drum up interest in the area.
Thank you for sharing this. I had to google this Norwegian and I can confirm you that this guy had nothing to do with bombing off this factory. Regards
I forgot to leave a comment yesterday when I watched, amazing video as always! You find some amazing stories to cover that are not well known. Thanks again for the hard work!!
Great to see, that the colour palette is consistent in all your videos, it's not all over the place, as in some other youtubers' case. If you end up doing a video on Hungary's history, we'd be glad to help! :) Cheers - The Hungarian Civil Guard
How have I not seen this yet? I am a huge fan of the channel and this is the most legendary story from where I live. There are way more to this story that makes it even more badass.
You and the team my favourite youtube channel hands down. I wish there was more videos since i binge watched all of them! Keep up the amazing work brother!!!
This channel is an experience, you get so immersed, truly amazing. I can’t wait for whatever is next, fantastic work by you two (not sure if you’re two or three actually) Btw whatever happened to the worker that was held at gunpoint?
Just two people. Ronneberg let him and another captive go, and told them to get to a balcony so that they wouldn’t be harmed by the explosion, which they did. I’m unsure of what became of them afterward, though.
This was unbelievable! I had no idea this happened. If this story was a live action movie then i would think it was too unrealistic. Love how some of your videos seem to alter the artstyle a little as needed for the vibe. I haven't gotten to your newer vids yet, but i think this is your best video that's under 10 minutes I've seen so far.
Can't enough of your channel and content. It's hands-down the best history focused channel I've found on youtube. Love the fantastic artwork as well - makes for a very immersive and rich experience. You and your brother are hyper-talented! Only complaint is there's not like a hundred more of these videos to watch, haha! Keep up the great work!!
This channel is amazing,....the narration makes everything so intense,....i hope you maintain the format and don't switch to voice actors like some youtubers,....subscribed.
@@HistoryDose This video was fascinating and beautifully done. However, I just watched it today because my UA-cam feed has been filled with the Depp/Heard trial instead of actual channels that I'm subscribed to. Maybe that's what happened? Hopefully the viewership will pick up now. By the way, I never did well in history in school. Every time I watch one of your videos, I learn something new. Thank you for that!
Watching your new video on Boudica makes me want to fund your travels with your brother to get more incredible, forgotten historical content. Your brother's art along with your narration are absolutely speculatar. I'm on a rewatching marathon of all your almost unbelievable content. Thank you so much guys! P.S. Thank you for covering my country in your prior video, I'm always so excited every time you and your brother post one of your stunning videos.
Although the mission was successful against overwhelming odds, in fact it was probably not necessary. Germany was not heavily involved in atomic bomb research. Hitler was wary of the subject, and considered it Jewish science. The heavy water actually destroyed by the Allies was done by a time bomb inside the ship carrying the heavy water. Of course, the Allies didn't know about how little research was going on in Germany, and had to assume the worst. So this mission was daring, thought to be absolutely necessary and was successful, and your video captured all of that. Keep up the good work. It's refreshing to have a channel that actually does research and works on the videos diligently.
It's only a short video so a lot has been missed out: The Germans didn't guard the ravine because an ascent assault was thought impossible. The charges were set with a timer thought too short for the team to escape, to ensure the charges weren't found and disarmed before they went off. The team escaped anyway. One of the members took shelter in a hotel - which was raided at random by Germans due a rebuff of a general by a Norwegian waitress. The man jumped off a lorry and escaped, dodging bullets and grenades, eventually outpacing the chasing Germans and out smarting (killing) the last and only German who could keep up. The entire story is astonishing.
Could you do a video on Moe Burg? He was a baseball player turned OSS spy, and played a crucial role in uncovering the germans progress regarding the atom bomb.
Really enjoyed this one. The one on the gallowglasses recently was brilliant too. I'd love to see more stuff on Irish history, it has largely been ignored
These videos are SOOOOOO SICK... I only wish they were longer!! Every story is about fascinating history and i LOVE the excellent artwork and narration.. definitly one of my top favorite channels on all of youtube.. Wow what a story..the courage and ingenuity and daring of those young men....to accomplish such a task and make it away is absolutely amazing.. my grandfather fought for canada in PP light jnfantry.. fought mostly in italy and france.. he was 17 when he went to war. Those were some brave men back then.. i salute them. Absolutely top notch video.🙏💪💪💪 Thanyou very much!
This Heroic tale is probadly the most widely known tale from Norways occupation in ww2. Here in Norway we call it "Tungtvannsaksjonen" (crudely translated "heavywater action"
What really gets me is how young they were, soldiers as young as 18, the leader of an elite squad only 23. Young men like that are hard to come by these days
You had me immersed man something I very rarely ever experience on YT, videos are top tire!! Got my sub hell I should be able to give you 10 with this kind of content!!
Fantastic content as usual. You guys are quality, the cinematic approach and the narration are beyond perfect. And amidst all of it, we end up learning something new as well. Thank you 🙏
Just subscribed, great video all around! Thumbnail wasn't a lie (I always dislike videos and click off on videos like that) and the content was intense, immersive and very well narrated.
I love this channel! The attention to detail both in the storytelling and artwork os immersive and captivating. You guys do incredible work. Keep it up!
The german nuclear bomb factory was located in Ohrdruf Thuringina, no heavy water was needed to build the german bomb. Kurt Diebner detonated the first nuclear implosion nuclear bomb on Ohrdruf army testfield at 04.03.1945
On that 27 October 1944, at 7 p.m., thousands of prisoners in Auschwitz heard a mighty thunder and rumble from the south. Many claim it was a violent explosion twice, and those outside saw a huge reddish glow immediately afterwards, as if flames were leaping into the sky. Some even thought they saw the fire first, which was probably closer to the truth. At that time, a Polish prisoner named G. was in Auschwitz. He came from the village of Czerwonka near Allenstein, which is now called Olsztyn. He was born in 1913 and had learned the honourable profession of a carpenter. G. was arrested in May 1941 for illegal activity and sent to the Radom concentration camp. He was there from 27th of May 1941 until the end of September of the same year and was then transported to Auschwitz. There he worked as a carpenter in a prisoner construction brigade. ......... During the 27th of October 1944, a detachment of 330 prisoners was hastily assembled. They were mostly construction workers. G was among them when the detachment marched off at 17:00. On this march, with their eyes to the south, they saw two flashes of lightning at 19:00, heard a double explosion and at the same moment noticed a huge fire that seemed to rage over a large area at practically the same time. The prisoner brigade marched as if blinded in the direction of this blaze until they were ordered to camp for the night in an open field at 20:00, which meant that they had to sleep in the open on the bare earth, while in the distance the flames were still raging towards the sky. The other day, 28th of October, around noon, they reached the place where they were to work from now on. It was an exact square about a kilometre on a side, covered with still burning and smoking rubble. The prisoners, however, smelled not only the burnt wood, but also the sweet stench of burnt human flesh, which they knew well enough. They marched to the edge of the area where a small town had stood the day before and where, a few hours before, 25 people in protective suits had dared to attempt to penetrate just 200 metres into the burnt and destroyed town. Only to immediately turn back in triumph and horror. Of course, only a few were triumphant and enthusiastic, others ran silently and hurriedly, and others were so horrified by the horrors they saw that they turned back in shock and vomit. The 330 prisoners did not wear any protective clothing and were not given any during the weeks in which they had to clear away the stone rubble. On 3rd of November 1944, 680 Poles and Russians joined them, so that by 15th of December 1944, more than a thousand prisoners had cleared away the stones and burned the remaining bodies and body parts in the radiation-contaminated rubble desert. By mid-December 1944, all traces had been erased. On 17th of December, the prisoners who had not died due to radioactive dust were sent back to Auschwitz, where all but a few who had managed to hide there were also killed. @@baneofbanes
Also some of the heavy water did survive and Germans tried to bring it to Germany via train, but at one point the water had to cros a large lake via a passenger ferry, and in the midle of the lake there was an explosion in the ferry and it sang. The explosion was caused by a bomb that some of the commandos who stayed in Norway had butted there

Too long of advertisements at the start of a video have an adverse effect on viewership and reach, not to mention subscriber retention. This one isn't too bad, just trying to add this gentle reminder to bring this to your attention because I really like this channel.

It’s just so hard to imagine how unfathomably BADASS these men were.
Back in the days of no complex electronics or satellite guiding, or drones, or anything like that, they braved the wilderness into a Nazi secret weapons plant.
Fuck man. “If the soldiers walked out of the barracks, the commandos would go down shooting.” BAD. ASS.
You have the wrong idea. Hearing them talk from when I was a kid, they were just regular people doing a job that needed to be done
They are you. They had the privilege and honor to live in terrible times, and for that they'll be remembered.
@@L_Train that’s a good way of looking at it. Who was in your life that told these stories? And what did they do?
@@timbeaver9790 that particular generation definitely went through some shit.
like the SAS
I know it's a tiny detail, but I've read this story before and the Norwegians that took the man hostage made sure he was safe from the blast, and also took an extra 2 minutes to help him find his glasses because he lost them lol.

True!
@@HistoryDose thanks for your reply! You're like a celeb to me lol, can't wait for your growth bud!

You can all thank me for destroying the nazis heavywater. Took me an hour to clear out all the enemy positions in Battlefield
thank you
A true honor to have a decorated Norwegian war hero, Mr. SpaceMonkeyBoi, here for the premiere
Thank you for your service in Battlefield.

This literally has the hallmarks of a great movie, i'm surprised no one's gone to the effort and made one (as far as I know)
This is exactly what I was thinking the whole time.
There is a Norwegian show about it called The Heavy Water War
@@Magim1001 THANK YOU FOR THIS RECOMMENDATION, in canada; external media like this is NEVER advertised

Thank you Strat!
Please do a video about the Harlem Hellfighters and Henry Johnson
I've come back to this video for the third time. This story is too intense. Thank you so much
Glad you liked it! It’s a short one, but it was a lot of fun to make
Such intricate detail in the writing and paint work of these videos is as unique as I’ve ever seen on UA-cam
Every video put out by this channel is a masterpiece.
No one paints pictures of history better than this channel. It's so emersive
The quality of these videos is just so impressive !
Dude... does this guy have behind the scenes editing.... beautiful and masterful
Please please PLEASE do a video on Belisarius!!! I loved the one on Stilicho and I feel he is also a character with a rich history! Love the vids
these videos are awesome man keep it up
like seriously i've watched the crazy joe one like 10 times
Haha that is awesome. Crazy Joe was a lot of fun to make. I’d love to return to the Mafia genre

I appreciate it, Dave!
Incredible Narration, Artwork and script. I love this channel more with every upload
This is probably the inspiration for quite a few movies. I have had some crazy adventures...but this is next level.
just like every other episode, the art is on a league of its own, absolutely stunning
Of the videos you made, this one is my favourite! Please consider covering more ww2 missions in future!
Happy to hear you liked it! This one never hit the algorithm, but I’d love to cover more WWII in the future
How have I not seen this yet? I am a huge fan of the channel and this is the most legendary story from where I live. There are way more to this story that makes it even more badass.
Holy...this story is so incredible, it sounds like a stealth mission straight out of a video game.
There’s a mission similar in battlefield
This video is unreal! How is this story not more well known. Like a movie or something

Ray Mears' book on this - The Real Heroes of Telemark is a fantastically detailed account of this extraordinary raid
It's only a short video so a lot has been missed out:
The Germans didn't guard the ravine because an ascent assault was thought impossible.
The charges were set with a timer thought too short for the team to escape, to ensure the charges weren't found and disarmed before they went off. The team escaped anyway.
One of the members took shelter in a hotel - which was raided at random by Germans due a rebuff of a general by a Norwegian waitress. The man jumped off a lorry and escaped, dodging bullets and grenades, eventually outpacing the chasing Germans and out smarting (killing) the last and only German who could keep up.
The entire story is astonishing.
The narration, animation and artistry of these videos are amazing
Thanks Paul!
Amazing documentary, incredible narration and awesome animation
Greetings from Norway:)
Could you do a video on Moe Burg? He was a baseball player turned OSS spy, and played a crucial role in uncovering the germans progress regarding the atom bomb.
This is by far one of my favorite episodes you've done, glad it showed up can't remember if I watched it but now I can't forget it

Nice to see modern history content now and then
It is frankly absurd that this episode has less than 100k views. So, so good
I can't get enough of your channel.

This is a truly amazing video, and the content made by this creator is superior to anything history documentary found on TV. Support 'em if you can!
It’s crazy they were able to ski let alone walk with the weight of the pair of solid brass balls they were lugging around.
Great videos they always leave you wanting more 👌👏
Y'all make amazing videos. Your sound and visuals are top notch man
Never knew about any of these operations. Your channel rocks
Amazing video loved it. It would be great if you guys could also make a video on the European Conquest if the Caribbean
Now this is how you teach people, entertaining and interesting. Yall get it!
Me and the boys called it on that community post, had to be Gunnerside 😎
You guys are insanely good at guessing from vague images
Surprised there hasn't been a movie about this.
Love to hear something about Brian Boru the high king of Ireland who fought the Vikings
This channel is absolutely insane big commitment
What bravery and resourcefulness against incredibly diffucult odds!
I love this channel! The attention to detail both in the storytelling and artwork os immersive and captivating. You guys do incredible work. Keep it up!
Thanks! This video never took off but I liked the way it came out!
Compelling stories, dynamic pacing, authentic artwork ...& factual relevance. Standard setting material
Thanks David!
Unbelievable bravery against evil and tyranny
I genuinely think watching your videos has greatly improved my writing

By mid-December 1944, all traces had been erased. On 17th of December, the prisoners who had not died due to radioactive dust were sent back to Auschwitz, where all but a few who had managed to hide there were also killed.
