YouTube's War on History

YouTube's aggressive moves against hate speech are hitting genuine, high quality educational content in the crossfire by removing monetisation opportunities.

"Just today, we learned that 250 of our videos had been retroactively demonetised without notice. These arbitrary rules can change any day and can be applied at will to existing content, it seems History is not welcome on these platforms anymore."
Florian Wittig, CEO at Real Time History.

Real Time History is responding to YouTube's current policies by asking their community for support either through Patreon and crowdfunding. Their current campaign entitled '16 Days In Berlin' has so far achieved 180% of its target on Indiegogo for a new documentary about the final battle of World War 2 in Europe.

"Archive footage we use depicts historical scenes from humanity's darkest days and as such feature iconography that is frowned upon on the by advertisers and platforms like Facebook and YouTube. There's no regard given to the context and that we are an educational channel teaching history and have been doing that for more than five years now!"

Real Time History has also teamed up with several high profile history YouTubers with a collective reach of 3M, and the film will be made available on their platform in April 2020, 75 years after the Battle of Berlin took place.

Yeah World War I is hate speech.

Everybody should go back that 16 days in Berlin project by the way. Youtube, and the internet, has shown me that while Hollywood and Cable TV have done an uneven job at public history education there is real possibility in these small companies giving historians and experts employment to do this kind of high quality work.

Too bad Youtube sees no value in it.

I'm in Feb 1915 of their Great War series and love it. Well produced, and looks very well researched.

There's quite a few good channels out there. I like Military History Visualized a lot, Invicta for Antiquity, History Buffs for reviews of historical movies for historicity (without going into petty stickler territory), and Armchair Historian and Kings and Generals for general stuff.

I watched it live. It was really great. I never thought I would see the internet excitedly making Conrad von Hötzendorf memes.

I presume you're following the corresponding WW2 channel, then? They're in 1940 atm. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCP1AejCL4DA7jYkZAELRhHQ

We used to have a weekly show like this in Germany, basically called "40 years ago" which ran from the 80s till 2000 and showed a newsreel from 40 years ago plus historical commentary.

The public broadcaster ARD in Germany has been rebroadcasting their main news from 20 years ago since the early 90s. It's been weird, because it first covered 1970s events when I watched it and is now well within territory when I was already an adult (I catch one online every once in a while).

[Valmy]

Yes and I am still watching the Great War Channel. And they have an interwar series: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLfMmOriSyPbd5JhHpnj4Ng

If you like reliving the insanity of the 20th century from a safe distance, rather than your current front row seat for the insanity of the 21st century, check it out.

I would recommend some of the lectures of the German tank museum which are really great, but unfortunately they're only in German (though their director does produce English language videos, too).

[Valmy]

Oh my. This was an excellent video on fascism by the interwar show: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9PYCxIyyF8

Even if you don't really care about the history of the 1930s I think it is a good thing to see.

There was one by la SEPT which became ARTE, called Histoire parallèle specifically for WWII in the beginning, which may be the one you are mentioning:
In French and German, so this may be of interest to Valmy. Went on from 1939 or rather 1989 till 1951 er.. 2001

Some excerpts can be found on youtube but the whole experience, WWII week by week according to newsreels then analysis by historians, as you said.
I remember watching it religiously with my Dad.

Maybe there was a collaboration at some point, but it was a German show with a German TV historian going over German newsreels.

The French show had French, German, British, American, Japanese and Italian newsreels analysed with a French historian called Marc Ferro, plus another expert, more often than not German but other nationalities as per the newsreels.

They made a pretty cool finding of a whale carcass at the bottom of the sea serving as an underwater buffet for scavengers.
