Do you know what i really appreciate. The lack of loud background music. The narration and editing lets the information flow. Also....i know i could nod off quite easlier. WELL DONE SIR👍🏾
This channel is so underrated. It's frustrating because it's so good! From the content to the narrator's voice is just perfect! I hope you keep posting! love the channel! thank you for what you do
Excellence is isolating. As long as Philip is able to sustain it financially, the count of viewers of the channel becomes secondary to the classy content. All the best to this channel.
This channel is truly remarkable. The script is crafted with great care, but it's your voice that truly sets it apart. Listening to you feels like absorbing the content of ten books simultaneously, particularly on this historical era. Please continue your excellent work, and I eagerly anticipate more video releases from you (perhaps a 40-minute video on the Cambridge Five, Philby, and Burgess - that would be delightful!).😀
What's worth mentioning about the Cuban missile crisis, is that for the entire duration, the Soviets had a hotline to the U.S. Ambassador's office. They'd a bug right above his desk.
It contained no internal power source, no moving parts, no continuous RF emissions, no ferrous materials that could be readily detected-and yet it could be energized on-demand to broadcast audio from inside the room to a listening receiver in a neighboring building. The engineers who made these radio devices had brilliant minds.
I feel your UA-cam channel is criminally under viewed. Been binge watching your stuff and seeing sub 100k views where I’d almost certainly expect >1 million views. Perfect blend of entertainment and education voiced by a fantastic narrator. Good stuff, subbed for sure.
History becomes new and interesting each time you dress it up it in such excellent words. The script and narration are superb as usual. Thank you, Philip.
Thank you for these great and impressive documentary philip Thompson, i learned alot of stuff as I'm dealt with foreign policy in my country, so how can we classified or identify a spy or espionage of other country, these topic could be advantageable for many and interesting alot to learned. Salute your, many thanks brother.
To espy...... And hence the word espionage. The proper historical account and careful mention of world power reliance on this art is apt. It highlights a major trend of all world powers and most times dictators.
Nothing about breaking the Purple cipher? This directly led to the victory at Midway. And contrary to popular belief, the Enigma code was originally broken by Marian Rejewski. Alan Turing (and others) scaled up the original Polish Bomba machine at Bletchley Park.
Russia...a long time ago, two Babushkas gossip about the neighbors, uncovering their dirt, and most hideous secrets. Some time later, Putin: "ФCб появился на свет благодаря сплетням двух русских бабушек о своих соседях. Мы должны поблагодарить их за служение стране. У нас лучшие разведывательные службы в мире." 🤔Grandmothers....Who would have thought?😂🤣
i stopped watching this when you skated past the Zimmerman telegram without talking about how the UK was tapping a US telegraph wire and how they got American eyes on the telegram without them figuring out that their line was tapped

WELL DONE SIR👍🏾
Plus the lack of breathless, hyper-dramatic narration, which turns factual education into fanciful entertainment.
Well done, Sir, indeed.

Cheers, thanks so much for your kind words. I have many more videos in the works, it's just about finding the time to write the scripts and edit!

so how come the voice from this video is vastly different than from his newest one???

Excellently narrated. Keep it up please.

Inside the gift (relic) given to the Ambassador.

Glad you enjoyed it!
Brilliant, thank you for creating such an outstanding video
I love Richard Burton's portrayal of Alec Lemas in The Spy Who Came in From the Cold which I consider La Carré's James Bond
under milk wood is better, very welsh
.Peter O Tool of course his depiction ofLaurence of Arabia was stuning the under couver man.

Is this narrator AI? I love it either way. Narration is amazing. Something about it seems like it is AI. Almost positive
Another awesome video
Thank you
15:17; that is FDR not Truman, FYI

He didn't even mention Crypto AG which was the biggest known intelligence operation in the last 50 years.

I’m pretty sure this is a ai voice, but really good regardless
Yes yes it is. Do not believe these AI CHANNELS.
@@XC0r3
😂 It's simply a text to voice program, not actual "AI"
You don't know how AI works do you?
The name of the narrator plz?
That was FDR with Stalin, not Truman.
Awesome vid otherwise, keep up the great work! 👌
Nicely done. One small correction ( that others may already have mentioned) : at 15:18, the photo is of Stalin and FDR, not Harry Truman.
This voice sounds like Major Zero from Metal Gear Solid
How could you not mention Crypto AG?
Thanks Stephen.
