The Battle For Russia WW2 | Nazi Germany Vs. Russia War Documentary
The Eastern Front, also known as the Ostfront, served as the epicenter of the most colossal military confrontation in human history. Isolated from World War II, the war on the Eastern Front itself stands as the largest conflict ever witnessed. Over a span of four years, an astonishing 400 Red Army and German divisions clashed along a front that stretched over 1,000 miles. Tragically, more than 27 million Soviet soldiers and civilians, along with nearly 4 million German troops, lost their lives amidst the relentless brutality of this theater of war.
The warfare on the Eastern Front was characterized by its sheer ferocity and comprehensiveness, featuring monumental clashes such as the Battle of Kursk, the largest armored engagement in history, and the protracted siege of Leningrad, which endured for nearly 900 agonizing days. Additionally, scorched-earth tactics, the utter devastation of countless villages, mass deportations, mass executions, and numerous atrocities perpetrated by both sides further marred the conflict's landscape.

Adolf Hitler Speech & Rise of Nazi Germany Third Reich Documentary 2023
"Today Hitler Is All of Germany." The newspaper headline on August fourth, nineteen-thirty-four, reflected the vital shift in power that had just taken place. Two days earlier, on the death of Reich President Paul von Hindenburg, Hitler had lost no time in abolishing the Reich Presidency and having the army swear a personal oath of unconditional obedience to him as "the Führer of the German Reich and People." He was now head of state and supreme commander of the armed forces, as well as head of government and of the monopoly party, the NSDAP. Hitler had total power in Germany, unrestricted by any constitutional constraints. The headline implied even more, however, than the major change in the constellation of power. It suggested an identity of Hitler and the country he ruled, signifying a complete bond between the German people and Hitler.

Largest Nuclear Test in History | Castle Bravo Complete Footage
March 1st 1954, Castle Bravo, the largest thermonuclear device ever was detonated by the United States. The test was part of a larger operation for testing high-yield nuclear devices, known as Operation Castle, conducted by the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission and Department of Defense. The operation took place at Bikini Atoll, part of the Marshall Islands, used by the U.S. military beginning in 1946 for nuclear weapons testing research. While the test advanced thermonuclear weapons design, miscalculations about the yield resulted in the largest U.S. nuclear contamination accident.
The United States tested its first thermonuclear device, known as Ivy Mike, two years earlier in 1952, also in the Marshall Islands. In the wake of the Ivy Mike test, U.S. scientists rushed to create a set of deliverable thermonuclear designs.
Whereas Ivy Mike was a “wet” thermonuclear device (meaning that the hydrogen isotope used in the device was liquid), Castle Bravo was a “dry” device, which greatly reduced its weight and size. Castle Bravo was the first deliverable thermonuclear device, and the test aimed to pave the way for the creation of more effective weapons, including weapons that could be deliverable by aircraft.
The designers of Castle Bravo seriously miscalculated the yield of the device, resulting in critical radiation contamination. They predicted that the yield of the device would be roughly five to six megatons (a megaton is the equivalent of one million tons of TNT). Scientists were shocked when Castle Bravo produced an astounding 15 megaton yield, making it 1,000 times as powerful as the U.S. nuclear weapons used on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945. The miscalculation occurred because scientists did not realize that the “dry” source of fusion fuel, lithium deuteride with 40 percent content of lithium-6 isotope, would contribute so greatly to the overall yield of the detonation.
The Castle Bravo device weighed approximately 23,500 pounds. The mushroom cloud formed after the detonation grew to nearly four-and-a-half miles wide and reached a height of 130,000 feet six minutes after the detonation. The crater left behind has a diameter of 6,510 feet and a depth of 250 feet. Despite its immense power, the Castle Bravo test is only the fifth largest test in history. With a yield of 50 megatons, the Tsar Bomba, tested by the Soviet Union in October 1961, holds the record for the largest nuclear test.
The test resulted in nuclear fallout that rained down on inhabitants of the atolls near the site of detonation and serviceman working on Operation Castle. Critical fallout occurred in the Rongelap, Rongerik, Alinginea and Utirik atolls in the Marshall Islands. Evacuations organized by the United States were too slow to limit the lethal doses of radiation and, in many cases, inhabitants did not know about the nuclear test or the consequences of nuclear fallout. In one tragic example, around five hours after Castle Bravo detonated, radioactive powder began to fall on Rongelap Atoll. Believing that this powder was snow, many inhabitants played in and ate the powder.
For years later, inhabitants of the island experienced numerous health problems, including birth defects. An estimated 665 inhabitants of the Marshall Islands were overexposed to radiation. Beyond the atolls, traces of radioactive material were discovered in Australia, India, Japan, the United States and Europe. Nuclear fallout spread over roughly 7,000 square miles.
An hour and a half after the detonation, nuclear fallout reached a Japanese fishing vessel, the “Lucky Dragon No. 5,” which was around 80 miles east of the test site. Ultimately, one of the 23 crew members died of acute radiation poisoning, while many others faced serious health effects. After U.S. nuclear weapons use in Japan only nine years earlier, the Castle Bravo test caused an international dispute between the two countries and drew negative attention to atmospheric thermonuclear testing. Several weeks after the test, former Indian Prime Minister Nehru called for a “standstill agreement” on nuclear tests, marking one of the earliest efforts to halt nuclear weapons testing.
The mistakes of the Castle Bravo test did not end thermonuclear testing by the United States or other countries. Operation Castle continued with a further series of nuclear tests on the Marshall Islands after the Castle Bravo test. Overall, between 1946 and 1958, the United States conducted 67 nuclear weapons tests in the Pacific Ocean.
Though these weapons are no longer in the US arsenal, there is still the ever present threat of nuclear war in the world.

Amazing 1900s England in Glorious Color Film
This film is part of the Mitchell and Kenyon collection courtesy of the British Film institute. Here we can see an amazing visual record of everyday life in Britain at the beginning of the twentieth century. This clip is called Parkgate Iron and Steel Company, Rotherham in 1901. This clip has been colorized and upscaled to bring it into the modern world.
This is England in the the year 1901. What you’re about to witness is a glimpse into the past of a world that no longer exists. The time of English factories and King Edward. A time of steam engines and lax labor laws. Let’s dive into the world of 1900’s england.
Pendulbury Colliery" is one of the films produced by Mitchell and Kenyon, and it provides a fascinating glimpse into the working conditions and life at a colliery coal mine in Pendlebury, which is located in the Greater Manchester area of North England.
The film captures the activities and scenes surrounding the coal mining industry. It includes footage of the colliery buildings, the pithead, and possibly the miners themselves going to and from work.
The original film is a silent black and white production, as synchronized sound in films didn't exist at that time. The footage is likely to be relatively short, as early films were often limited by the available technology and storage capacity.
Mitchell and Kenyon were known for filming and screening their films locally, often in fairgrounds or public spaces, creating a form of early cinema exhibition. Their films were intended to capture the everyday life of working-class people and were often showcased to the communities involved, creating a sense of local pride and entertainment.
These early films, including "Pendulbury Colliery," are valuable historical records that offer a rare visual insight into the past, providing a glimpse of the working conditions, social dynamics, and industrial landscapes of the time. They are considered invaluable resources for studying and understanding the history and culture of the early 20th century.

107 Year Old Man Born in 1800s Has Great Insight
Born in 1858, Michael Fitzpatrick was a witness to significant changes in the farming industry throughout his lifetime. In a broadcast of the program 'Newsbeat' on January 7, 1965, Mr. Fitzpatrick shared his experiences and memories, highlighting the advancements in agriculture and recalling a particularly distressing eviction in Bodyke, County Clare.
In 1940, as part of the Land Commission scheme, Mr. Fitzpatrick relocated from Clare to a farm near Maynooth, where he has resided ever since. This scheme was likely a government initiative aimed at redistributing land ownership and providing opportunities for farmers to acquire their own land.
At the time of the broadcast, Mr. Fitzpatrick was 107 years old, making him a remarkable eyewitness to over a century of changes in farming practices. The most significant change he mentioned was the introduction of machinery, specifically the combine harvester. This revolutionary piece of equipment mechanized the process of harvesting crops, dramatically improving efficiency and productivity in agriculture.
Furthermore, Mr. Fitzpatrick vividly recalled a distressing eviction that occurred in Bodyke, County Clare, in June 1887. Evictions were a common occurrence in Irish history, particularly during periods of economic and social upheaval. He described the event as "very cruel," noting that women and children were forcefully removed from their homes. Evictions often resulted from land disputes, unpaid rent, or changes in land ownership, causing immense hardship for the affected families.
The 'Newsbeat' program, which aired on January 7, 1965, featured Mr. Fitzpatrick's recollections. The reporter responsible for the episode was Jim Norton, who likely conducted the interview and presented the story to the audience.
It is important to note that the information provided is based on the given context and may not correspond to real historical events or individuals.

Unreal Video of China from 1900s Restored in Color!
An extraordinary window on to the heart of cosmopolitan Shanghai over a hundred years ago - a true melting pot of cultures. Today the city's main shopping hub, Nanjing Road is here bustling with crowds of Chinese and Europeans and patrolled by Sikhs who made up an important part of the international police force. It is the only known surviving example of the film reportage shot by British war correspondent Joe Rosenthal during his coverage of the Boxer Rebellion in China between 1900 and 1901. This footage has been colorized, upscaled and restored to bring it into the modern world.
