I have got some other information apart from the internet and I used to read my dad's books about World war II and aircraft.
But I can't take it on faith now as to which internet source is available and I enjoy watching various channels that give information about World war II.
But in terms of arguments where absolute facts have to be involved, I would say that they would have to be some kind of rating as to the validity of these internet sources.
So if I for arguments sake, suggest that these various ratings apply. It would be interesting to see experts would apply them to the websites
A= very trustworthy
B= Good source
C=Right 50% of the time, maybe fed bullshit
D=Little correct. Someone pushing an agenda
I got one right!.......
The only channel I know of which is trustworthy, is:
This is not to say that its "guaranteed" that every single thing he`s ever said online is the best possible interpretation, but I know him, and
have helped him with several videos, and can say that he is really trying to be a good historian and wants to really find out the facts.
He does a reasonable amount of original archive research.
....
I have to admit Hard Thrasher is a guilty pleasure of mine.
That channel is currently running a series on the strategic bomber offensive. However, it uses the phrase 'Bomber Mafia' which immediately makes me suspicious.
No archive references = Garbage
Even this does not guarantee everything, but it filters out 90% of the junk.
I dont know it! - Thanks I`ll check it outHave you checked out the WWII US Bomber channel? It does the archival reference well, so I think you might like it. There have been several videos in which the title page of a source is shown, one I hadn't seen before, and was able to run an internet search using that title and find the source document, expanding my (admittedly limited) collection.
Well worth it. Really clear explanations.I dont know it! - Thanks I`ll check it out
Look at "the plane France is most proud of " if you need a good laugh.
It sets new standards for the lowest quality video I've seen on U-tube.
But still some people praise him in the comments .
